A three-storey, spacious and light four bedroom property in a picturesque South Hams village has been put on the market.

The Monastery is situated less than a mile from the quiet village of Woodleigh, near Loddiswell.

The property is steeped in history, having been built by Trappist Monks in the early 1900s.

It has been transformed into eight exceptional residences, each one having been individually designed and finished to an exceptionally high standard.

There is a wonderful use of space and light with high ceilings in the living areas helping to give the Chantry a truly impressive and spacious feel.

Subtle use of colour in the bedrooms with lower ceilings has managed to give these rooms a more intimate feel.

The nearby village of Loddiswell has a local primary school, shops, pub and Kingsbridge, being five miles to the south, provides an extensive range of shops, leisure centre with indoor swimming pool, library and schools and churches.

Being located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Monastery enjoys a wonderful sense of tranquility.

The surrounding private country estate of 80 acres provides a haven for wildlife and benefits from a mile stretch of the beautiful River Avon.

Owners of the residences have privileged right to wander freely, exploring the woods and meadows and fishing for trout and salmon on the river.

Offers in the region of £1.125m are being sought and to book a viewing contact Marchand Petit at Kingsbridge on 01548 857588.
