Rumleigh House, Rumleigh, Bere Alston, Devon

This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a breathtaking small country estate of some historical note, with a varied and fascinating past. The property's origins are understood to date to the 14th century although the majority of the existing house was developed from the mid-18th century onwards, with later extensions and alterations through the mid and late-19th century. Formerly, at different stages, a market garden and a weekend retreat to a wealthy Plymouth merchant, the property has also been home to two 18th-century Mayors of Plymouth, a Governor of Plymouth Fort and a Vice Chancellor of Calcutta University, and was described by the poet, N T Carrington, as a "genteel mansion" in 1820.
