Playing at Eggesford

I will never forget as a child playing around the ruins of Eggesford House. My imagination ran wild and still to this day, the house inspires me. It amazes me how such a beautiful house could fall to such ruin. As a child I imagined my self as a baron of a secret society and Eggesford House was my headquarters. Funny! I used to sneak up there alot for my "secret meetings". Don't tell anyone but it was just a couple of scrappy boys getting in trouble. I have since moved to America back in 1985 and would just love to vist it today. My understanding is that someone lives there today and has restored the place? I would just love to see it and imagine once again.
