At Hillcrest C G Fry is offering price reductions of up to £50,000 on a number of properties in this unique development, including the majestic and stately Withycombe House set amidst unspoilt gardens and grounds if buyers complete on the purchase on or by the 19th December 2014. 

A beautifully restored grade II listed period manor house which dates from c.1850, Withycombe House enjoys many unique architectural features.  Originally constructed in a Gothic villa tradition, the unique property has been painstakingly restored to its former glory by the skilled craftsmen from C G Fry & Son with attention to detail   had has been converted to individual, luxurious and spacious homes.  The high ceilings and many beautifully designed windows including Gothic arches reflect this much loved architecture often attributed to castles, palaces, churches and Cathedrals with classic and timeless beauty. 

The £50,000 reduction includes Plot 1, an imposing four-bedroom dual aspect town-house with many authentic features and extensive level south facing gardens and paved patio.  The property retains many of the original features including striking quarry-tiled mosaic floor and sweeping staircase with ornate oak newel posts leading off from the grand main entrance hall.  The restored ‘egg and dart’ cornicing and plaster ceiling roses in the large sitting room add to the feeling of grandeur.  The property has garage and parking. 

Caroline Hill, Head of Sales & Marketing C G Fry & Son says: With the current economic climate, house buyers are finding it more and more difficult to purchase their dream home.  We have listened to our customer’s feedback and wanted to offer this opportunity to help them move quickly and easily into their new home in time for Christmas.  C G Fry is a family-owned company and we want to give a helpful hand to make things easier for our buyers.  It is a fantastic opportunity for purchasers who will need to act straight away to take advantage on our developments across the South West including the chance to buy a property at the unique Withycombe House.”

Restored Gothic Villa in Exmouth opens to the public this weekend

Withycombe House, the former Hillcrest school in St. John’s Road has been painstakingly restored to form luxurious homes as part of a new housing development by C G Fry & Son.  The multi award-winning independent developer is holding an open-weekend to view this magnificent house on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th June from 10 am – 4 pm.


 This is a unique opportunity for locals and visitors alike to view the Gothic style villa built c. 1850 which was Grade II listed in 1949 and retains many unique architectural features.  Latterly the period manor was converted into a school for day pupils and boarders by Devon County Council and since the school’s closure; the site has remained derelict for several years before its recent renovation.


The majestic house occupies a lovely sylvan setting amidst unspoilt woodland and parkland setting in a delightfully secluded location not far from the East Devon coast and the centre of this popular estuary town.  Withycombe House offers a rare opportunity to live in quality, well designed homes with real character and all the convenience of being in town with local amenities and close to the coast.    It offers a choice of luxurious and spacious three and four-bedroom houses, three-bedroom cottages and two- bedroom apartments.


The event will be in Plot 2 Withycombe House, a magnificent three-bedroom west facing period home boasting beautifully presented spacious accommodation, a superb drawing room and fabulous kitchen.
