Sages House - Regency country villa in heart of Dolton

3 bed, 3 bath Regency house in walled gardens. Sleeps 6.

Communicating door to Sages Flat 1 if hired together (additional 2 bed, 1 bath, sleeps 5) to accommodate 11 in total.

Sages is a grand 6-bedroom Regency villa with 80ft verandah hidden in an acre of walled gardens, at the very heart of a pretty Devon village of traditional houses in the Torridge Valley. It is great for families as the children can run around the extensive grounds without any danger of traffic.

The building is divided into Sages house (one half) and Sages Flats 1 and 2 (other halves of ground and first floors respectively). Sages house and Sages Flat 1 are available for holiday lets, either separately or together. Sages Flat 1 has private access and a private garden if hired separately. A communicating door enables the whole house to be opened up if hired together.

The house, out-buildings and grounds are also available for venue hire, for parties and weddings (NB: Sages is not currently licensed for wedding services but please enquire if this is of interest as it is our plan). Use for an event requires a minimum of 7 nights booking for both Sages house and Flat 1. Please contact us if you wish to hold an event so that we can discuss parking etc. with you. We can also provide folding tables and chairs, parasols, bunting, some village fete-type games etc. for an additional charge.

Sages has been our family home for nearly one hundred years. We are in the middle of a long-term restoration programme so the kitchens and bathrooms are all newly renovated and the bedrooms and receptions rooms are still "shabby chic" - but the beds are all new and luxurious!

Families with young children are very welcome.
