Full Details
Ermewood House, once the rectory to Ermington Church, is a handsome Georgian home steeped in history. Built in the early 19th century and facing south, its stuccoed façade is centred by an elegant arched doorway topped with a semi-circular fanlight. Glazed doors and sidelights fill the entrance hall with light, setting the tone for the rest of this remarkable property.
In 1880, it was home to the Rev. Edmund Pinwell and his seven daughters, three of whom became renowned for their ecclesiastical wood carvings, found not only in Ermington Church but across Devon, Cornwall, and beyond. Today, the house remains a substantial family residence set within an acre of mature gardens, blending original character with versatile living space.
Inside, the entrance hall is flanked by two beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each with grand fireplaces and glazed bays opening onto the terrace. To the rear, a spacious kitchen and utility rooms serve family life well, while below, a cellar currently provides laundry and wine storage.
Up the graceful staircase, the first-floor landing enjoys countryside views through tall sash windows. Four double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, plus an extra room ideal an ideal dressing room are arranged off the landing. A third floor mirrors this layout, offering further accommodation. To the rear lies a self-contained annexe with a double bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen/living room, ideal for independent living or integration into the main house.
Ermewood House sits proudly in its plot, approached by a sweeping drive. The front terrace is framed by mature wisteria and hedging, while to the side a gravel terrace and raised beds create a Mediterranean feel. The rear lawn, enclosed by stone walls, provides a peaceful sanctuary.
