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.
