Moreton House, Georgian country house in Bideford, United Kingdom.

Moreton House stands on Abbotsham Road with its stone facade, featuring high ceilings, period details, and grand function rooms across multiple levels.

The Buck family rebuilt the house in 1760 and 1821, later adopting the surname Stucley in 1858 to honor a female ancestress and heiress.

The residence served as Grenville College from 1956 to 2009, marking a shift from private residence to educational institution for several generations.

The property now contains four self-catering apartments with modern amenities, accommodating families and groups while maintaining its historical elements.

The estate retains five acres of gardens with tree-lined grounds, representing a fraction of its original parkland as Bideford's suburbs expanded around it.
