Nestled in the heart of Throwleigh, The Barton is an exceptional five bedroom residence. Whilst being Grade II* listed, it perfectly combines traditional charm with modern elegance. Painstakingly refurbished, this home beautifully retains its original farmhouse character while boasting contemporary amenities.

Upon entry, an immaculate refurbishment is evident, showcasing a harmonious blend of heritage and functionality. The home has been thoughtfully rewired and re-plumbed, featuring a new boiler and separate thermostats for optimal comfort and economy.

The kitchen is at the heart of the home, designed by Barnes of Ashburton, exuding sophistication and practicality, complemented by a matching utility. The inviting drawing room, adorned with an original fireplace and new wood burner, offers a perfect
setting for tranquil evenings. For intimate gatherings, a separate snug boasts an impressive granite fireplace, providing an inviting ambiance, ideal for cosy winter nights. Embracing the demand for remote work, a generously proportioned separate office, equipped with robust Wi-Fi connectivity, ensures an optimal work-from-home environment.

Ascending upstairs reveals five tastefully appointed bedrooms complemented by beautifully presented bathrooms, emphasizing both luxury and functionality. There is also the option of a further en suite bathroom in the vaulted bedroom and the plumbing has already been installed for this. Complementing the living space, the property boasts a separate Shippen.

Stepping outside, the property is embraced by a charming garden spanning just over half an acre, embellished with raised beds and two separate seating areas. The separate kitchen garden contains raised beds and is stocked with fruit trees. There are several outbuildings around a central courtyard; a barn, three stables and wood store alongside a double garage.


The Barton is in the heart of the much sought-after village of Throwleigh on the northern edge of the Dartmoor National Park. The location of the property, with easy access to the moor is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts.

The property is also readily accessible to the A30 dual carriageway, about four miles away, which gives easy access to the M5 and Exeter. The mainline train station at Exeter has regular services to London Paddington in just over 2 hours.

The village of Throwleigh has a church, a weekly pop-up post office and village hall with a vibrant community. The attractive stannary town of Chagford lies about four miles to the southeast and has an interesting variety of shops, inns and restaurants, including one Michelin starred Gidleigh Park.

The market town of Okehampton, about seven miles away offers a greater variety of shopping and recreational facilities, including a Waitrose supermarket.

There are many excellent primary and secondary schools in the area, and first class private schools can be found at Exeter, Tavistock and Tiverton. Dartmoor National Park, which covers approximately 365 square miles of beautiful and unspoilt moorland scenery also provides endless opportunities for walking, cycling and riding in the area. There are many rivers for fishing nearby and the North Devon and Cornish coastline are within easy reach. There are golf courses at Bovey Castle, Okehampton and Exeter.

Chagford 4.4 miles, Exeter 20 miles (London Paddington 2 hours 2 minutes) (All distances and times are approximate)
