Three gorgeous period manor homes are set to be sold under the hammer at Network Auctions’ 4th April ballroom sale at The Westbury Mayfair Hotel, London.

Fairlea in Northam, Bideford, Devon is an impressive mid-Victorian Grade II listed detached house guided at £650,000+. Originally constructed between 1872 and 1877 the main building was later adapted into a residential home for the elderly, extended in the 1960s and then further modernised in the 1990s. Still retaining many original architectural features, the building set in 1.31 acres, is being sold with the benefit of detailed planning permission and listed building consent for nine apartments and five houses.

Tolverth House, Long Rock, Penzance, Cornwall is a majestic double bay fronted property with views extending over St Michael’s Mount and is guided at £475,000+. The former care home comprises the main house, a one bedroom first floor flat forming part of the stable conversion, a detached bungalow and further outbuildings. Set within a site of 1.34 acres the property offers development potential subject to planning. Planning was granted in 2011 for an eight-bedroom extension to the property, but this has now lapsed.
