Summary - Bovey Tracey, Newton Abbot, TQ13 TQ13 9NB
Grade II listed 17th-century barn conversion with historic character
Southbrook Farm is a rare 17th-century Grade II listed barn conversion offering more than 6 acres of private, landscaped grounds on the edge of Bovey Tracey. With around 6,467 sqft of adaptable living space, eight bedrooms, five bathrooms and multiple reception rooms, the house suits large or multigenerational families who value character, space and countryside living. A self-contained annexe provides independent accommodation or income potential.
The property combines historic features—elm beams, oak-framed windows and exposed granite—with practical modern additions including a well-equipped kitchen and solar panels. Outside there are manicured lawns, wildflower areas, a full-size tennis court, greenhouse, hot tub terrace and direct access onto the National Trust’s Parke estate, making it ideal for outdoor hobbies and family recreation.
Important practical points are plain: the building is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can complicate permissions; the site is in a high flood-risk area and will need appropriate insurance and management; broadband speeds are slow; and council tax is described as quite expensive. The linhay and workshop offer useful storage and hobby space, but the property’s age and listed status mean ongoing maintenance and specialist care should be expected.
For buyers seeking a distinctive family home with room for guests or a separate household, Southbrook Farm offers a unique blend of history, scale and privacy. Those prioritising modern connectivity or straightforward renovation will need to weigh the listed constraints, flood considerations and slow broadband when assessing suitability.
