Summary - UPCOTT BARTON, CREDITON, POUGHILL EX17 4LF
7 bed 2 bath Detached
Seven bedrooms, 30 acres and income from a bespoke thatched Roundhouse.
Grade II* manor with extensive original period features
Upcott Barton is a rare Grade II* manor set in about 30 acres of paddocks, woodland and sheltered walled gardens. The early 16th‑century house retains abundant period detail — oak panelling, mullioned windows, decorative gables and moulded ceilings — paired with generous reception rooms and a traditional kitchen with an Aga.
The estate includes a courtyard of traditional outbuildings with conversion potential subject to planning consent, plus a thatched Roundhouse (completed 2015) currently run as a holiday let and providing immediate income. The grounds are extensive and varied, with terraces, a bowling green, orchard, river boundary and a wildlife pond — attractive for rural living, small‑scale farming or lifestyle diversification.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status, which will restrict alterations and may complicate modernisation works. Services include oil heating, private borehole water and private drainage that may not meet current regulations; further enquiries are recommended. The house offers seven double bedrooms but only two bathrooms, and the thatched roofs and historic fabric will require ongoing maintenance.
Offered freehold and chain free, Upcott Barton will suit an owner looking for an historic family country home, a buyer seeking rural diversification or an investor prepared to manage listed‑building constraints and planning processes for the outbuildings.
