Hall, has been home to the Chichester Family since the early 14th century. The house is approached up a mile-long wooded drive. 

The current Victorian house, a vernacular mansion in the 16th-century style, was built in the 1840s for Robert Chichester by Philip C. Hardwick. Hardwick produced a series of grand reception and family rooms with splendid views over the Taw valley and a staircase hall which forms the centre of the house.

The Gothic Hall

At the far end of the building lies an imposing Gothic Hall with oak tie-beam roof, stencilled windows, stained glass and a minstrel’s gallery. Outside there is a medley of estate buildings including a medieval barn and a 17th-century stable block. Only opened for the first time in 2013.

Tour of ground floor of house including staterooms, plus tour of historic yard and ancillary buildings and walled gardens.
