Description - Jackson-Stops North Devon are proud to offer to the market - for the first time in over two decades - this beautiful Grade II listed period residence in the sought after village of Horwood. Properties such as East Barton Farm rarely become available on the open market. The property has been the subject of extensive, yet sympathetic renovation to now provide well-presented and versatile accommodation that could suit a variety of uses. This imposing residence sits in a small cluster of properties, on high ground and is attached to one other property via a small corner section.
The accommodation on offer is extremely flexible and could suit for a variety of purposes, such as a spacious family home, for multigenerational living, or a home with an income (Air BnB or holiday let). At present, the property is used for multigenerational occupation, and due to the style of the property and the handmade free standing kitchens (which can easily be removed), the layout could easily be changed to suit the prospective purchaser.
East Barton Farm has been exquisitely finished to exacting standards to maximise the wealth of character features throughout, which include exposed beams, lintels, A frames, stonework, brickwork, window seats and balustrading. Due to the high quality level of renovations, the property has retained the authentic feel of a rustic farmhouse, but benefits from modern conveniences.
The property is equally as impressive outside, with delightful grounds including a walled garden to the front and further cobbled courtyards to the front and rear. There is ample off road parking, as well as a garage and stone barn to the rear that offers potential (STPP). In total, the property stands in around 0.738 of an acre and is available to the open market with no ongoing chain.
