Stoodleigh Court country house was built in 1881 by architect Ernest George who won a Royal Academy Gold Award for this design in 1885. The house was built for Thomas Carew and his family on the original site of Stoodleigh Manor. However, these early days are shrouded in mystery and rumours suggest that the house was often unoccupied.

According to records, in 1885 Edwin Harris Dunning, a former dealer of diamonds and gold in South Africa bought the estate. A political campaigner on behalf of the Liberal party, Mr Dunning was elected Mayor of Tiverton and later knighted for 'Public Services'. A bust of Sir Edwin Dunning remains present at Tiverton Town Hall today.

During this time some original features of the house were altered, with mouldings and panelling added throughout the house. The local hunt regularly held meets in the grounds and parties were the norm - Stoodleigh Court positively thrived and hummed with life!

The Dunnings later moved to Essex following the sale of Stoodleigh Court and its estate to Hugh Burdett Money-Coutts (later Lord Latymer) and his family. In 1908, the new family arrived to a welcoming crowd of Stoodleigh villagers.
