Summary - EASTACOTT BARTON UMBERLEIGH EX37 9AJ
10 bed 10 bath Detached
Exceptionally large period estate with income‑producing converted barns and lake views.
Circa 26.58 acres including three lakes and scenic valley views
Eastacott Barton is a substantial, newly renovated Victorian manor set in about 26.6 acres of rolling Devon countryside, with three lakes, handsome stone construction and extensive outbuildings. The main house combines generous, high‑ceiling period rooms with modern fittings including a refitted shaker kitchen, AGA, underfloor heating in new ensuites and a useful annexe. Two converted Victorian barns operate as high‑quality, 5‑star holiday lets, providing immediate income or flexible overflow accommodation for large gatherings.
The house faces south with far-reaching valley views from many principal rooms and bedrooms. Internally the layout offers multiple reception rooms, a large garden room, pantry/utility and practical boot/boiler areas—suitable for family life, entertaining or running a rural hospitality business. The property benefits from strong mobile reception and, as stated, superfast broadband infrastructure has been installed; the site also shows very slow measured broadband speeds, which should be checked by buyers who need reliable high‑speed internet for remote working.
Eastacott Barton sits privately in a hamlet setting above the River Taw yet is about 1.6 miles from Chittlehampton and a short drive to Umberleigh station and local schools. The estate’s size, lakes and converted barns create substantial opportunity: keep as a private country house, continue the holiday‑let business, or further develop outbuildings (subject to planning). Buyers should note the property is remote in character, with associated travel times and higher council tax costs, but it offers an exceptional rural lifestyle and strong income potential.
