Our clients have been in residence since 2019 with the house and static caravan very successfully housing their extended multi-generational family. The internal layout of the main house is well suited to family occupants due to the large areas of reception space including the lounge which has revealed exposed stone work, dining room with its parquet floor and sun room. The social and interactive kitchen/breakfast room which is very much the hub of the house has a slate floor and oil fired Stanley. The room has direct access out to the rear gardens and enjoys far reaching views over the land. The lounge and formal dining room both have fireplaces with inset log burning stoves. The large south facing sun room is a very versatile space with both traditional and roof windows and can be used for a wide range of purposes such as a play room, relaxing living space, music room or home office. Completing the accommodation on this level is the boot room, ground floor WC and a study.
The first floor has a split-level landing with access to all five of the bedrooms. The two larger bedrooms are at the front, both and are light and airy with bedroom three having a cast iron fireplace and bedroom two having a wash hand basin. The dual aspect master bedroom has far reaching views over the grounds and two his and hers built in double wardrobes with an en-suite shower room/WC. The family bathroom/WC has an enamelled bath with an electric shower unit above.
The property has the benefit of oil fired central heating and a 4kw solar array which is owned by our clients and a favourable feed in tariff rate which supplements the running costs of the property.
Externally, the house has a driveway at the side with plenty of off-road parking. Various outbuildings are found at the side of the property including the barn which is very spacious and incorporates a garage at the rear, this has great scope (subject to obtaining all necessary consents) to become further accommodation of some sort. The garden room is a lovely heavily glazed space that has a mature grapevine within, it can be a lovely setting for a work from home office for most of the year or used for relaxing in. The industrial style large corrugated workshop has a steel frame and concrete floor and could be used for a multitude of purposes. Beyond is a useful storage container. The fully serviced six birth static caravan is positioned near to the property and is currently lived in. The gardens are a real feature of the house and lie to the side and rear. They are well manicured with many areas well suited for relaxing and outside dining. There are many mature trees, bushes and shrubs. At the side and hidden away is a large wildlife pond. The orchard is well stocked with apple (both cookers and eaters) and pear trees. Plenty of room is provided for a cultivated and productive garden if one was inclined. The pasture extends down and forms four paddocks. The far paddock is the largest and can be accessed either across the small stream or from a gateway onto the nearby road. It is suitable for the circulation of livestock as the paddocks are grazed by sheep.
The following is a quotation from the home owners:
“Barton House has been a delight for our family. The house itself is solid and warm, with a great stove in the cosy snug room, and plenty of light on sunny days. The large kitchen connects really well onto the garden and land too. In the fields, our gorgeous brook and the river beyond have given us all hours of fun, foraging and fly fishing, and we have enjoyed many family BBQ’s, camping parties and splash-arounds together. There are so many different spaces surrounding the house when we’ve needed some peace and quiet, from the fishpond, to the orchard, the vine room, outbuildings, as well as all the garden suntraps. The massive shed has been the ultimate workshop and project space, with plenty of additional storage for agricultural equipment, classic cars, boats or aircraft.
We’ve found Canworthy Water to be a quiet and welcoming hamlet, within easy driving distance from three well-established towns and plenty of schools. And popping ten minutes up the road for a sundowner at Crackington Haven is just the best.”
Barton House is positioned in the small North Cornish village of Canworthy Water some ten miles to the West of Launceston Town. The A30 dual carriageway can be found within eight miles from the property and has excellent road links towards Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction. Within a few miles from the property there are village amenities found at the nearby Wainhouse Corner and at Hallworthy there is a public house. The ancient former market town of Launceston offers a range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities. For those seeking more extensive amenities both the Cathedral Cities of Exeter and Continental Ferry port of Plymouth can all be reached. The rugged North Cornish coast with its cliff top walks and sandy beaches is approximately seven miles from the property.
