Nestled in beautiful rolling countryside with partial views of the sea, this mini estate offers a unique blend of elegance and charm. The property includes a selection of outbuildings, featuring two beautifully refurbished holiday cottages, with planning permission for a third. The grounds extend to approximately 19.75 acres.
Trafalgar Barton is an exquisite mini estate characterised by its historical significance and peaceful setting. Approached via its private driveway, the property enjoys a tranquil position with magnificent views over the valley to the southwest and sea views to the south. The house boasts a rich history, having been built by Captain Yule, who served as a lieutenant on hms Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar.
The current owners have meticulously renovated the house, transforming it into a well-appointed family home. The formal reception rooms, facing southwest, are generously proportioned and offer stunning views across the valley. The large sash windows are particularly notable, flooding the rooms with natural light.
Step through the fabulous front door and be greeted by the grand entrance hall with its polished wooden floor and breath-taking staircase. The sense of grandeur is continued in the main sitting-room; a wonderfully bright and airy space lit by crisp natural light flooding in through the fantastic large windows which offer spectacular views across the surrounding countryside. The house faces south, meaning you can enjoy the sun in this room all day.
Double doors lead to the dining-room. Next door you will find the superb kitchen complete with its own Aga range.
Further down the corridor, is the second sitting-room. There is a beautifully cosy feel to this room with the stunning granite fireplace taking centre stage.
The impressive staircase leads to a stunning galleried landing on the first floor, providing access to the generous bedroom accommodation. The master bedroom stands out with its sea views to the south and an en-suite shower room. Travel further upstairs to the games-room with sea views.
Holiday Lets
There is a three-bedroom Coach House that has been extensively remodelled and refurbished, along with a Dolls House that has superb far reaching views across the valley, also fully refurbished. Both offer high-quality holiday let accommodation. There is planning permission to convert the old dairy into a third holiday let.
Enjoy breath-taking views across the valley and out to sea on the patio area which also acts as a great sun-trap. The fabulous barbecue area makes al fresco dining easy. Further down the garden, there is plenty of lawn space to enjoy as well as a rose garden.
To the south and west of the house are rockery gardens, lawns, and herbaceous borders. Above the house is a partially walled vegetable garden. Several fields and paddocks surround the house, with the grounds totalling about 19.75 acres.

The picturesque village of Branscombe boasts a thriving community year-round, with amenities including a church, village hall, nursery school, primary school, post office, and two pubs. Much of the land surrounding the village is owned by the national trust
Branscombe Beach is renowned as one of the most beautiful beaches on the Jurassic Coast, and can be accessed on foot via the National Trust path in about 10 to 15 minutes from Trafalgar Barton.
Nestled along the coast, the picturesque fishing village of Beer is framed by striking limestone cliffs. Here, the local wet fish shop offers the freshest catch of the day during the summer months. The shingle beach serves as a hub for water sports and boat trips, perfect for those seeking seaside adventures.
Further east, just across the Dorset border, lies the vibrant town of Lyme Regis. Renowned for its rich fossil history, famous Monmouth Beach, quirky shops, and a safe, sandy beach, Lyme Regis offers a delightful blend of history and leisure.
The surrounding countryside, which borders the coastline, is dotted with farm shops offering locally-sourced produce. To the west, the charming coastal towns of Budleigh Salterton and the regency town of Sidmouth beckon with their scenic beauty.
Further west still is Exmouth, a gateway to the Exe Estuary Trail. This 26-mile route provides a gentle cycling path from Exmouth to Dawlish, running close to the water's edge.
Lastly, the ancient city of Exeter, with its magnificent cathedral and vibrant quayside is about 15 miles away and offers a direct train line to London Paddington taking from 2 hours 3 minutes.
