A self catering manor house in 50 acres of parkland - luxury North Devon holiday accommodation

Coham Manor is an exceptional Grade II listed self catering country house set in 50 acres of parkland just 0.75 miles from Black Torrington village. The house is available for holiday lets throughout the year and offers generous character accommodation for family gatherings of up to 21 people - ideal for reunions. The welcoming atmosphere reflects the manor’s family ownership over the past 600 years.

Interior

Coham Manor is beautifully furnished in English Country House style with a wealth of period furnishings and memorabilia and a special atmosphere. The entrance hall sets the tone with wood panelling, hung with ancestral paintings, a huge formal, family crested stone fireplace, Victorian tiled floor and grandfather clock.

The comfortable expansive drawing room has three huge floor-to-ceiling triple-paned windows filling it with light, a fine bureau, books galore, comfy sofas and occasional tables. To the other side of the hall is the large snooker room containing a three-quarter sized snooker table, an ancient grand piano, marble fireplace, glass cabinets with fine china/ornaments, a beautiful marble statue and a table for jigsaw puzzles.

The beamed dining room has a big bay window, a fine ornamental fireplace, book-lined walls, a sideboard and a table seating 20. Off the slate floored corridor, which is the oldest part of the house, is a children's den with toys, books, TV, video, DVD, games, a toy fort, sofa and another large fireplace.

The fitted kitchen, attractively decorated with a blue and white china hung sideboard, houses a four door Aga and a large electric range with gas hob, a microwave, CD player and a large pine refectory table. Off the kitchen is a larder for the dishwasher and the scullery containing a chest freezer, second dishwasher, two fridges, washing machine and tumble drier. A back door leads to the garden via a large porch, ideal for boots and shoes. There is also a lobby with three loos and washbasins, a downstairs back loo and the back servants' stairs leading to the first floor bedrooms.

From the inner hall a formal crinoline staircase guarded by marble lions, leads gently up to eight bedrooms:

The Blue Room, above the snooker room, is a sunny double aspect twin room with en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. Scotland is a large bedroom with a bay window and window seat, containing 3 single beds.
