• The garden is across the driveway and accessed via steps which lead down to a large lawn area which has walled and fenced perimeters.

The garden overall is an excellent size, enjoying beautiful views over woodland and fields towards the village of Wembury, and being mainly laid to lawn with mature trees including apple, pear, willow and palm, along with a vegetable patch which has excellent potential for substantial expansion.

Situation

Raneleigh Farm was built in the early part of the 20th Century and was once part of Langdon Court, a manorial estate noted in the Domesday Book. The barns were tastefully and sympathetically converted into a number of residential units in the mid 1990s, retaining the distinctive stone elevations with yellow brick reveals to windows and door openings. Each unit is individually designed and the whole setting is delightfully rural yet within only a short drive of nearby Down Thomas, Wembury village and beach. In addition, transportation is available from Raneleigh to Wembury Primary School and Combe Dean School. The village of Down Thomas has a public house, general store and village hall. More extensive shopping facilities are available in Plymstock where there are secondary schools, the local primary school being in the village of Wembury. Around the area there are delightful walks along well signposted footpaths and easy access can be gained to the coast and the South West Coast Path.
