It’s been let go a bit though!

The whole place has a really fascinating architectural interest and includes a gatehouse and 2 barn conversions producing a useful income from holiday lettings together with gardens, extensive parking, garage, 2 cobbled courtyards and land extending to about 11 acres
The two barn conversions, Leigh Barn and Leigh Poundhouse have also been attractively finished and make excellent accommodation for guests or for holiday letting.
The ranges – seen in the left on the photo I’ve added – is a 16th century building of superb quality and beautifully restored. It’s stunning!

Bochym Manor & Cottages has it’s own clock tower.
Looks stunning and is in a really beautiful part of the world. If you want a holiday let business then this is well worth a look – although details say it’s not currently trading.

Unusual tiles
I’ve seen several different types of wood effect floor tile, and this Gloss wood effect ceramic tile at Topps tiles is an interesting change from the usual floor tiles available. If you’re looking for an alternative to normal square floor tiles then this is something to consider. The fake wood look isn’t too bad and it’ll be more waterproof that wood would be so its more suited to areas like kitchens.
Topps also sell wood flooring suitable for dry areas in the home. Wood will be warmer than tiles.
If you think this colour is too dark for your kitchen then they have a range of other wood effect floor tiles in lighter colours, from light brown to a limed white effect.The arteak sand colour is light coloured and would look good in most homes.
Stunning items to dress your home
It’s amazing how some pieces of furniture give a room a real wow factor, these snugglers from john lewis are really interesting items. They’re bigger than arm chairs but smaller than sofas making them useful for areas where you’d like to put a sofa but don’t have room. Stick a lovely coffee table next to them and you have a really lovely cosy corner. Add a lamp and maybe a couple of glossy magazines on the table and you have a lovely lifestyle look that will make that area in your home look great.
They’re available in fabrics and leather and all sorts of styles and colours. There will be a snuggler for your home! They’d be nice in a bedroom if you have a big area of space that looks a bit empty. They’re probably the contemporary equivalent of chaise longues!
The good thing about dressing your home with furniture is that you get to take it with you when you move, so pick something you like!
St Peter’s Manor
St Peter’s Manor is a stunning building!
Thought to have been built in 1618 and restored in 1867, it’s a beautiful black and white Grade II listed half timber framed Manor House.
Pucture 9 appeals to the booklover in me, with bookshelves, a desk and a window seat.
There’s also a wood panelled dining room which has a large inglenook fireplace with a historic medieval stone tablet above shown in picture 8!
Utterly lovely house!
It’s on a guide price of £985,000

Holbeam Cottage at Ogwell
Holbeam cottage at Ogwell, Newton Abbot, Devon, TQ12 is quite remarkable! It’s an old cottage thats been given a modern twist.
It’s got the period features of a Grade II listed, thatched, 1640s cottage combined with an ultra modern extension that is very Grand Designs! It’s had some serious renovation work done with architects Minale + Minale and expert finishing by Bovey Construction.
I’m afraid though I’m not a fan of glass stairs but thats mostly because I’m not terribly good with heights.
The house does look at first glance like two separate cottages and it’s only looking more closely you see the glass join!
The listing is very detailed and mentions the Gaggenau gas range, Philippe Starck WC and bidet and a Caesarstone engineered quartz stone island in the kitchen.
It’s certainly a nice mix of old and new!

Lovely house book – The Arts and Crafts Country House
The Arts and Crafts Country House is a lovely book that will be on the wishlist of anyone who loves the Arts and Craft period.
The Arts and Crafts Country House: From the Archives of Country Life
The book has 192 pages which make it a good sturdy book you’ll enjoy. The book – The Arts and Crafts Country House is completely fascinating survey of some of Britain’s most important houses.
It is beautifully illustrated with photos from 25 major houses and the architecture that makes them so special. The pictures date from original black and white taken nearly 100 years ago to more modern photos.
The Arts and Crafts Movement produced some of our country’s greatest works of design, architecture and decorative art. It grew out of a reaction against the Industrial Revolution in the late 1850s, inspired by an alternative vision of life based on the revival of traditional building crafts and the use of local materials. Country Life magazine illustrated regular articles with specially commissioned photographs.
In his stunning book, Clive Aslet draws upon this unique archive to provide a detailed survey of 25 major country houses, designed by the movement’s foremost architects, including Lutyens, Webb, Williams-Ellis and Blow. He also shows how the Arts and Crafts tradition continues to influence architects today.
The Author Clive Aslet was Editor of Country Life for thirteen years and is now Editor-at-Large. He writes for The Times, the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Times, and is the author of many books, including The Last Country Houses, The English House, and Villages of Britain.
