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.
