Alston Hall, a magnificent country mansion is burrowed on the outskirts of Battisborough Cross in Devon. Outdoor pool. Pet-friendly.
Countryside. Barbecue. Newton Ferrers less than 4 miles; Bovisand 9 miles; Plymouth 1200 yards.
Alston Hall is a remarkable, three-storey country house, down a long drive and a short distance from Mothecombe Beach. Originally a rectory and now a family home, it is designed for serenity, fun, and relaxation for large groups of family or friends. This property is a fabulous base for family occasions and small corporate events.
The entrance hall, which doubles as a sitting room, has a wonderful feel of grandeur, with its oak panelling, stained glass, piano and a magnificent gallery above with more seats. You can spread out in two more plush sitting rooms. The open plan kitchen/ breakfast room is fully equipped to cater for smaller family meals.
A separate dining room with its long table (seats 30 people) and caters for more extensive meals. After dinner, the snooker room awaits. At the end of the day, drift up the elegant stairs to a choice of eighteen bedrooms spread over the first and second floors, seventeen of which have an en suite bathroom, ensuring no morning queues.
With its former role as a hotel, the house has all sorts of fabulous activities to enjoy, including an indoor swimming pool, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, a play area, three acres of lawns and gardens, and an enclosed walled garden with barbecues, perfect for an evening of chattering and alfresco dining. This spectacular abode really does offer everything, thereâs no chance of getting bored! If you do want to venture beyond the grounds, you can find more activity at Fort Bovisand where you enjoy concessionary rates for scuba diving, as you do at Dartmouth Golf and Country Club where you can play a round or be pampered in the spa. Mothecombe Beach on a stunning stretch of coast is just a couple of miles from the Hall and you can walk in either direction on the South West Coast Path.
And in the unlikely event you tire of country house living, the bright lights of the lively city of Plymouth await. Alston Hall is an extraordinary place to gather with friends and family, offering a unique blend of historic charm and modern luxury.
