The Barton is an impressive Grade II Listed farmhouse with extensive outbuildings and a barn which is used as an events venue. The original house is mentioned in the Domesday Book, with later additions finished in 1672. The house provides more than 4,500 square feet of characterful accommodation with a flexible layout, allowing for various different configurations and uses and providing excellent potential for the creation of an integral annexe.

The Barton is in need of some updating and offers appealing period features which include exposed timber beams and original fireplaces. The ground floor has four comfortable reception rooms and two fully equipped kitchens, both of which have adjoining utility rooms. These provide the option to divide the house into two separate dwellings, including potentially for use as a holiday let.

Upstairs there are seven double bedrooms, plus an additional kitchen. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the first floor also has two family bathrooms, one at each end of the house. Additionally, there is a shower room on the ground floor.<br /><br />The Barton comes with almost 20,000 square feet of outbuildings, including farm buildings and barns that have been redeveloped as charming, rustic events venues. The large barn comprises almost 8,000 square feet of floor space, while there is also an events bar located in the splendid stone-built outbuilding. Further facilities include an office, stabling, pig pens, a milking shed, a dairy, kennels, a cattle barn, a pony pit and workshop space, as well as a double garage.

Lawned gardens surround the farmhouse with lovely views of the neighbouring church. The rest of the land comprises fields of pasture. In total, the land measures approximately 31.3 acres.<br /><br />The Barton lies in a peaceful and secluded setting on the edge of Exmoor and just moments from the north Devon coastline. Approximately three miles away, the village of Combe Martin offers a variety of everyday amenities, such as local shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, as well as a beautiful beach. A further five miles along the coast, Ilfracombe offers further facilities including large supermarkets. Barnstaple is around 10 miles away, with its excellent choice of shopping, supermarkets and leisure facilities. Schooling in the area includes Kentisbury Primary School, further primary schools in Parracombe and Combe Martin, as well as secondary schools in Ilfracombe and Barnstaple. West Buckland School is also just over 11 miles away. The nearby A39 provides access to Barnstaple and the A361, for easy access towards Exeter and the M5.
