Heanton Satchville, Petrockstowe, English country house in Petrockstowe, North Devon.

Located on an expansive estate, the original mansion incorporated architectural elements constructed from local moorstone and featured multiple building periods.

The manor, first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Hantone, belonged to Baldwin the Sheriff, who held the position of feudal baron of Okehampton.

The estate represented the social and political power of several noble families, including the Rolles who acquired influence through their purchase of Callington borough in 1601.

The original mansion was completely destroyed by fire in 1795, and today a farmhouse stands on the former stable block while a tractor shed covers the main house site.

Margaret Rolle, who inherited the title Baroness Clinton, connected the estate to Robert Walpole's family through her marriage to the 2nd Earl of Orford.
