Sand House is reopening its doors to the public, offering guests a unique opportunity to experience one of East Devon’s hidden historic treasures.

Until recently, owned by the Huyshe family since 1560, this remarkable historic house has evolved through Elizabethan and Tudor history while remaining a private family home at its heart. Set within peaceful open gardens, woodland walks, and meadow fields, Sand offers an atmosphere that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

  • View through an arched doorway into a dimly lit room with a large window. The room has vintage furniture including a table, chairs, armchairs, and a grand piano. The window is illuminated by sunlight, casting shadows inside the room.
  • Old stone and wood doorway with an arch, framed by columns, and surrounded by greenery and flowers.
  • A stone church building partially obscured by tall green trees and golden grass in the foreground, under a clear blue sky.
