SHERWOOD HOUSE

Sherwood House is hidden in an extremely picturesque, private and tranquil part of rural Devon, standing completely on its own and surrounded by farmland and woodland. The appeal of this site was definitely appreciated by the well-known Arts & Craft architect Walter Cave in 1907, when the present house was built. The house stands centrally within what has now become a showpiece garden, displaying magnificent flowering shrubs and trees that flourish in this protected valley with its mild, temperate climate. The large two-storey house is arranged around a central courtyard, and includes four or five fine reception rooms and up to 10 bedrooms. Some modifications to the original layout have been made over the years. The care and attention that has been devoted to the gardens is abundantly clear when you arrive for the first time. The sweeping driveway is lined by banks of ornamental shrubs with enticing paths leading off to beautiful vistas.
