About this house rental

3 bed, 3 bath Regency house in walled gardens. Sleeps 6.

Communicating door to Sages Flat 1 if hired together (additional 2 bed, 1 bath, sleeps 5) to accommodate 11 in total.

Sages is a grand 6-bedroom Regency villa with 80ft verandah hidden in an acre of walled gardens, at the very heart of a pretty Devon village of traditional houses in the Torridge Valley. It is great for families as the children can run around the extensive grounds without any danger of traffic.

The building is divided into Sages house (one half) and Sages Flats 1 and 2 (other halves of ground and first floors respectively). Sages house and Sages Flat 1 are available for holiday lets, either separately or together. Sages Flat 1 has private access and a private garden if hired separately. A communicating door enables the whole house to be opened up if hired together.

The house, out-buildings and grounds are also available for venue hire, for parties and weddings (NB: Sages is not currently licensed for wedding services but please enquire if this is of interest as it is our plan). Use for an event requires a minimum of 7 nights booking for both Sages house and Flat 1. Please contact us if you wish to hold an event so that we can discuss parking etc. with you. We can also provide folding tables and chairs, parasols, bunting, some village fete-type games etc. for an additional charge.

- a large drawing room with period features and working fireplace overlooking the private front garden.
- hall, with french doors to front garden

- bathroom

- 2 acre paddock at the rear of the property, leading down to a stream, which can be used for event parking, fireworks displays etc.

Sages has been our family home for nearly one hundred years. We are at the beginning of a long-term restoration programme so we have set our rates and policies to reflect its element of "shabby chic" and families with young children are very welcome! Sages flat is furnished more basically than Sages house so its rates are correspondingly lower.

Old house in shabby condition. More 3 bed than 4. Beds are amongst some of the best I’ve ever slept in. Magical outdoor spaces. Roaring fire and Rayburn. Excellent Spar and good choice of pubs in the village - no driving required. Better than good food in the Ramshead. Skittles and Pool in the other. I’d book again for a long weekend. Just which the kitchen had more sides for preparing food. Luckily we pre -prepared.

We loved everything about this house! Great location with lovely walks, little attractions all around Devon and beach about 30mins drive Rams head pub and local butcher 2mins away - highly recommended as well.

Our teens and adults had a lovely stay in this regency villa and enjoyed the gardens, the piano, the conservatory, the power shower and the charming architecture and decor. Village has local walks and 2 pubs and a few shops.

We stayed as a family with dogs for a long weekend, Sages House was charming and comfortable we found space to do all that we needed inside and out, although a little tired that adds to the charm of the house, having said that the quality of beds and bathrooms were excellent and the dogs would highly recommend a snooze in front if the aga after chasing around the paddock! Thank you Jenny for your kindness and welcoming us to a house you obviously love. We would definitely return as the experience was relaxing and comfortable which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks for the good communication from Richard prior to our trip.

Lovely week doing lots of local walks and short trips to coast and Dartmoor. House is shabby but comfortable with cosy kitchen and lovely garden. Excellent shower and comfy beds. Only reason I’ve given 4 not 5 stars for cleanliness is that it’s a big old house with the odd cobweb! All important areas are very clean. A lovely place to stay if you’re not looking for super modern and minimalist!
