Step back in time at ‘The Manor House’ in Tavistock
If the grand homes and opulent lifestyle of the characters in popular series Downton Abbey and Upstairs Downstairs have given you much needed inspiration for your dream home search, then you need to visit ‘The Manor House’, Taylor Wimpey Exeter’s stunning development in Tavistock.
To celebrate the completion of The Manor House, Taylor Wimpey Exeter is holding an open day on Saturday 26th February, from 12 – 4pm.
The Manor House is a re-creation of the original Manor House on the site, and visitors to the development can see old photographs of the original house and how closely Taylor Wimpey has followed the original design.
A town crier will be stationed in Tavistock town centre and a traditional Charabanc will be transporting aspiring lords and ladies of the manor between the development and town centre. On arrival at ‘The Manor House’ guests will be greeted in true ‘Downton’ fashion by a butler and maid before they’re served afternoon tea and shown around the apartments.
Janine Davey, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Exeter, said: “With so many wonderful TV series showcasing fantastic stately homes in sumptuous surroundings its no wonder people are keen to find a slice of the high life for themselves.
“This desirable lifestyle can become reality for those lucky enough to live at ‘The Manor House’. It’s been carefully built to reflect many of the characteristics of the original Manor House, which was part of the estate of the Duke of Bedford that stood for 150 years until falling into a state of irreparable disrepair, and offers a perfect combination of modern finishes with classic style.
“So whether you’re a budding Lady Holland, Mr Grantham or Elizabeth Bennet I’m confident that you’ll fall in love with the apartments and beautiful surroundings on offer here.”
The apartments have been designed to offer practical and versatile living space whilst retaining a sense of grandeur. Features include bay windows, fully integrated kitchens complete with appliances and granite worktops, and under floor heating to offer an added touch of luxury.
In addition to the stunning accommodation, the development’s location has definitely got the ‘wow’ factor and residents will feel like they’re in their own private grounds as they explore the eight acres of parkland which the development is nestled amongst.
Janine adds: “‘The Manor House’ really is an impressive property enjoying the best of both worlds – well designed stylish accommodation set in a stunning parkland location, yet only minutes from the town. Interest in the apartments is already high, so those looking for a slice of the finer things in life should visit ‘The Manor House’ on the 26th to find out more.”
‘The Manor House’ is located in mature parkland close to the award-winning, historic market town of Tavistock and the beautiful Dartmoor National Park. The local area provides excellent transport links, both nationally and internationally, and in nearby Gunnislake there is a railway station with frequent trains to Plymouth.
