Description

A fine example of a period Devon Barton farmhouse. There is believed to have been a farm house on this site since Saxon times, and the property is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The present dwelling dates from the mid-1700's. A most charming and characterful detached property providing good family accommodation, enjoying a lovely aspect over its substantial South Westerly facing walled garden. There is a paddock of about an acre directly adjoining the property, from which there are fine far reaching views to rolling countryside, Dartmoor and the River Exe. A magnificent drawing room takes full advantage of the aspect over the walled garden to which there is access via the conservatory. The dining room and drawing room have exposed beams to the ceilings and both rooms have substantial Inglenook fireplaces. Most rooms have a South Westerly aspect with both floors providing bright and sunny accommodation and good views.
