New Property - April 2013

Sheplegh Court is a magnificent, historic country house, set in 22 acres of beautiful tranquil grounds nestling in the folds of a lovely valley with extensive gardens, woods, parkland and views across glorious South Devon countryside.  The country house is divided into luxury apartments with superb on-site facilities, an all-weather tennis court, conservatory, indoor heated plunge pool, sauna and snooker room with full-size table. In 1944 it became the headquarters of General Eisenhower during rehearsals in Start Bay for the D-day landings.  It was the venue for a famous planning meeting between Eisenhower, Churchill, De Gaulle and Montgomery.
