Ugbrooke

Ugbrooke

Ugbrooke is a country house located in a valley between Exeter and Newton Abbot in Devon, England. It dates back over 900 years, having featured in the Domesday Book. Before the Reformation the land belonged to the Church and the house was occupied by Precentors to the Bishop of Exeter. It has been the seat of the Clifford family for over four hundred years, and the owners have held the title Baron Clifford of Chudleigh since 1672. The house and grounds were remodelled by Robert Adam and Capability Brown in the second half of the 18th century. The house and gardens are open to the public for a limited number of days each summer.
