6 Historical Note The original Tavy Hall was built sometime between 1135 and 1154 by Sampson Foliot, whose manor of Tamerton for evermore became known as Tamerton Foliot. The family continued to own the estate until 1253, when it passed to the Gorges, who were, in any case, descended from Sampson Foliot. In 1435 other descendants, the Bonvilles, took over and they were followed by the Coplestones sometime around 1472, the Bampfyldes in 1631 and finally the Radcliffes in The north side of Tavy Hall is believed to date from the 12th and 13th centuries and to contain some of the original house and chapel. The south side was built by the Coplestone family during the reign of King Henry VII as a result of which it became a fortified manor house. The Reverend Walter Radcliffe then enlarged and remodelled parts of the House between 1825 and This was designed by John Foulston of Plymouth in what has become known as the Strawberry Hill Gothic style. A lodge and a second boat house were added at that time. The Radcliffe s held the estate for over two hundred years until, in 1969, it was found that the House was in need of substantial repair, so it was sold to a Doctor Holliday, who re-roofed it and did some restoration work before he turned it into a nursing home. Ten years or so later Tavy Hall was again on the market and after further work had been carried out on it, the House was converted in 1985 into suites of accommodation for retired people.

8 Tavy Hall - For sale freehold Sitting within the South Hams District Council, Tavy Hall is, without doubt, one of the finest country houses overlooking the water in South West Devon. What sets this Grade II* Listed house apart from many other impressive properties in the area is not only its uninterrupted panoramic views, its impressive footprint and parkland setting, but its considerable acreage and direct access to the water; both very much a premium in the area. With a stunning backdrop of the River Tavy and Tamar Estuary, few houses enjoy such a spectacular setting as Tavy Hall. It is evident that the current owners have begun to carry out a painstaking and detailed renovation programme to the house to produce what will be a quite magnificent home. To date, they have renewed the entire roof, strengthened the structure of the main house and added new floors, new drains systems, under floor heating in all the main reception rooms and majority of the house has been re-wired.
