Ashley Court is a grade 2 listed country house situated just South of Tiverton in Devon which is being slowly and lovingly restored by Nigel and Tara. A fascinating glimpse into the past, with many original features which have been untouched since the early 1900's. Set in 18 acres of woodland, fields and formal gardens. The old servants quarters are now guest bedrooms full of charm, and character. An authentic English country house experience. The space The house is an unusually well preserved example of a modest sized Regency Country House complete with Lodge Cottage, stable yards, apple lofts, walled garden and woodland walks. It has been largely unaltered since the main building work was completed in 1805. Currently in a state of shabby but genteel decayed grandeur it has a charm and authenticity of its own.
