Set within just over six acres between Dartmoor and the South Devon coast, this six-bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse combines genuine period character with rural practicality. The house is presented with many original features — granite fireplaces, exposed beams and plank-and-muntin screen — and offers a luxurious principal suite plus a self-contained rear wing ideal for guests or multi-generational living.
The estate includes stone-built stables, a detached barn with undercroft, a listed former piggery and fenced paddocks, making it well suited to smallholding or equestrian use. Outside there is a heated outdoor pool with stone pump house (pool heat supplied by an air source heat pump), extensive gardens, woodland and sweeping views towards Haytor Rocks and the village church.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict changes and can complicate works or conversions. The granite walls are traditionally constructed and are assumed to have no built-in insulation; heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler with radiators and the main house has an EPC rating of G. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors should be weighed by buyers considering energy upgrades or large-scale alterations.
For families or those seeking a rural lifestyle, Bickington Barton offers space, privacy and scope: immediate enjoyment from the presented accommodation, plus potential to improve energy performance and develop ancillary buildings subject to consents. The setting and outbuildings present rare long-term lifestyle and smallholding opportunities in an affluent, low-crime hamlet location.
