During the last ten years the property has been opened to the public on more than 100 occasions for a wide variety of charitably run music concerts and classical master classes, held in the delightful setting of the acoustically superb Great Hall.
Village Fetes, with open air musical entertainment are annually held within the grounds.
Occasional Public Entertainment Licences have been obtained as required and an On-Licence for the sale of alcoholic beverages is already held on the premises for pre-arranged functions.
Planning Permission has been granted by the South Hams District Council for the replacement of the sash windows to the West elevation of the Great Hall with two opening doors which would give access to a new terrace overlooking the River Tavy. Such works should enable the seating capacity of the Great Hall to be increased to 150 persons for Public Entertainment Licence purposes.
However, for private functions, up to 500 persons have been comfortably catered for, using the existing facilities supplemented by Marquees in the formal walled garden.
The Queens Harbour Master Plymouth has granted a licence for 140 moorings to the vendor personally. The property is part of The Port of Plymouth.
Warleigh is in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Part of the land is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is part of the Tamar Estuaries SPA relating to important and rare wildfowl.
