Situation
Wood Barton lies surrounded by open
countryside about a mile out of well-
regarded Kentisbeare village with local
shop and post office, The Wyndham
Arms pub, a primary school, church and
village clubs. This area in the Culm Valley
with its beautiful backdrop of the
Blackdown Hills is a very popular part of
the countryside with easy accessibility.
Nearby Exeter, Exeter Airport, Taunton,
Tiverton Parkway Rail Station
(Paddington line) and Honiton town and
station (Waterloo Line) are all easy to
reach by car. Cullompton town nearby
provides a supermarket, shops,
businesses and access to the M5 at
junction 28.
Description
For many years Wood Barton has been
a family home and farm. It is centred on
the Grade I Listed Long house which
dates from early to mid-14th century,
there is a record of a dwelling on the site
at the time of the Domesday survey.
The house, along with its many
buildings, stands in beautiful park-like
grounds with many mature specimen
trees and flowering shrubs. Beyond the
immediate grounds it is surrounded and
protected by its own productive
grasslands which extend down to a
brook that forms a tributary of the River
Culm.
The opportunity is there for a new owner
to move in and continue using the
property as it has been over many years,
however there is much potential for
creative changes around its traditional
buildings and particularly the redundant
agricultural buildings.
Main House
The principal accommodation runs
across the house with a southerly
outlook to the gardens. Its character
testifies to its long history, in the large
open fireplaces and the massive
structural roof timbers and blackened
beams. A wing projecting forward
accommodates what could be an
annexe but currently serves as a garden
room and guest bedroom above. The
service rooms run behind the house,
with a kitchen with Aga at the west end
overlooking a small protected courtyard.
Gardens and Grounds
The gardens and grounds surround the
house and contain many fine specimen
trees and shrubs including magnolias, 2
davidia, azaleas, camellias,
rhododendrons and acers, as well as
several ponds and water features. Much
was planted in the early 1930’s, they
have been developed and tended by the
vendor’s family over the last 40 years
and have been part of the NGS scheme.
Spring bulbs carpet the ground and
delightful paths meander through the
grounds, opening up vistas of the
surrounding countryside. Immediately in
front of the house there is a lawn with
adjacent borders, paved terrace along
the south side of the house and central
sculpture area. Next to the lawn,
screened by a beech hedge, is a
vegetable garden with raised beds, fruit
cage and pathways, and the hard tennis
court screened by a further beech
hedge.
Rose Cottage and Honeysuckle Cottage
A pair of attractive cottages nicely
positioned on the driveway away from
the main house. They both have pretty
front and rear gardens and driveway
parking. Perfect for letting or for
additional accommodation supporting
the main house.
The Gate House
The gate house is situated to the rear of
the kitchen gardens by the drive. It has
its own parking area away from the
house. It provides entrance lobby/store,
large living room/kitchen, bedroom and
a spacious shower room.
Buildings
The house is adjoined by a service
courtyard of former farm buildings that
have been partially brought into
domestic use and offer potential for
further conversion into additional
ancillary or holiday accommodation.
Beyond the courtyard there is an array of
traditional and modern redundant farm
buildings, including a very impressive
large granary barn constructed of stone
and brick. There is also a brick shippen,
extensive Dutch barn, former livestock
building, covered silage pit and
machinery store.
Development Opportunities
Because of the superb position of the
farm, this is a very desirable location for
further residential development. The
buildings on the farm show potential for
conversion under full planning and/or
permitted development, perhaps also
with scope for other planning gain which
might include a new build opportunity.
Clearly there is potential, however this
would be subject to obtaining the
necessary consents.
The Land – 60 Acres
Surrounding the property, affording great
privacy to the house and with some
breath-taking views is an attractive run
of 7 pasture fields and paddocks. The
land is very gently sloping and
interspersed with some woodland
pockets including planting in recent
years. The land creates a haven for
wildlife not least the superb pond in the
north west corner in a beautiful setting
surrounded by a copse.
Basic Payment Scheme
The entitlements are included in the sale.
The current year’s payment will be
retained by the sellers. The purchaser
will take over the sellers’ cross
compliance responsibilities.
Rights of Way
The first section of driveway also gives
access to the adjoining properties.
