Stanbury Manor includes a five-bedroom manor house and outbuildings

This impressive 200-acre coastal estate lies seven miles north of Bude and has direct access to a secluded beach at Stanbury Mouth. Stanbury Manor includes a 16th century Grade II* listed manor house, traditional and modern buildings and an interesting mix of quality arable and pastureland as well as amenity and cliff land in an enviable position in this unspoilt part of the north Cornish landscape.

The five-bedroom Grade II* listed period house was originally built in the 16th century of local stone under a Delabole slate roof. As expected from a significant house of this era there are many interesting and period features including stained-glass windows, granite fireplaces, beamed ceilings and granite archways.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall with slate flagstone floor, the great hall with granite fireplace, wood-burning stove and beamed ceiling, and a drawing room with 18th century painted wood panelling from floor to ceiling an attractive fireplace built in Cornish stone.

The dining room is approached through a granite arched doorway and has an impressive window in the northern elevation in four lights formed by five granite mullions. The kitchen features fitted pine wall and base units, an electric AGA, and a slate flagstone floor. There is also an inner hall, game larder, boot room, utility room and separate cloakroom on this level.

On the first floor are five good-sized bedrooms, three of which are en-suite, and a separate family bathroom. There is an impressive fireplace in one of the bedrooms.

The enclosed garden at the back of the house provides privacy and beyond, on the eastern side, two ponds are fed by natural springs. A listed well house is adjacent to the lower pond. This area also features a beautifully restored stone and slate piggery divided into three storage rooms / looseboxes.

This family home is complemented by substantial and significant traditional barns and a versatile range of livestock buildings. The land extends to approximately 200 acres (80.93 ha) and is in a convenient ring fence with a majority being level or gently sloping. The farmland varies in altitude from approximately 60m to 140m above sea level and is an interesting mix of pasture, arable and steeper amenity land running down to Stanbury Mouth.

The land is registered under the Basic Payment Scheme and is included within Higher Level Stewardship scheme which is due to expiry on April 30, 2023.
