Upcott Barton presents a unique opportunity to acquire a historically significant Grade II* listed manor house, nestled in the serene Mid Devon countryside. This property, dating back to the early 16th century with notable architectural enhancements from the late 16th and 17th centuries, features numerous original period details such as intricate ceiling designs, decorative gables, and classic oak panelled walls. It boasts expansive walled gardens that are beautifully landscaped and includes extensive outbuildings arranged around a traditional courtyard, offering considerable potential for redevelopment, subject to planning permissions. Notably, there is also an 'Iron Age' style Roundhouse on-site that has been successfully utilized as a holiday let since its completion in 2015.
The manor's interior comprises grand living spaces including a drawing room and dining room enhanced by original fireplaces and garden vistas. The kitchen retains character with exposed beams and an Aga, while the additional utility room adds practical value. The upper floors house seven double bedrooms alongside essential bathrooms, providing ample accommodation for family or guests.
The property encompasses approximately 30 acres of diverse land featuring paddocks and woodland, bordered by the Holly Water River—ideal for equestrian activities or agricultural pursuits. For those interested in larger land holdings, an additional 151 acres of arable farmland may be available.
Despite its tranquil rural setting near Poughill and Crediton, Upcott Barton enjoys excellent transport connections to Exeter and beyond. With considerable restoration opportunities available for both the manor house itself and its outbuildings—alongside options to develop the existing land—this property holds significant investment potential within one of Devon's most picturesque regions.
