Dira Barton stands as a remarkable Grade II listed former dower house to Creedy Park, offering an expansive 6,200 sq ft of versatile living space across three levels. With its origins dating back to the 17th century, this historic residence harmoniously combines classic architectural features with select modern enhancements, presenting an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment in a sought-after location.
The ground floor showcases a variety of generously proportioned reception areas filled with natural light. The entrance hall, currently serving as a dining space, flows into a formal drawing room accentuated by large sash windows—perfect for hosting gatherings. Central to the home is a traditional kitchen equipped with an oil-fired AGA and central island alongside informal dining options. This area seamlessly connects to a cozy sitting room complete with a wood-burning stove and picturesque garden views. Additional utility areas include a games room/playroom, spacious home office, utility room, boot room, pantry, and cloakrooms that cater well to everyday family life.
On the first floor, both the principal suite and guest bedroom suite offer stunning garden views and charming Dartmoor vistas. This level also houses three more bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a dressing room. Notably, an adjacent annex—currently with independent access—has been granted planning permission for conversion into additional living spaces, including another mezzanine bedroom and studio room. A sixth bedroom along with an additional bathroom is situated on the top floor providing an excellent suite for guests or live-in help; furthermore, planning consent exists for adding yet another bedroom on this upper level.
The property is enveloped by approximately 51 acres of landscaped grounds comprising manicured lawns, thriving orchards, rich pastures, and woodlands. The gardens predominantly extend southward and westward from the house to take full advantage of sunlight and breathtaking countryside views. A vibrant kitchen garden complements the residence while meadows lead towards a tranquil wildlife pond contributing to the estate's enchanting allure. Mature trees and ancient hedgerows enhance privacy while ensuring seclusion within this idyllic setting.
A wealth of amenities includes a floodlit tennis court, greenhouse, wine cellar, as well as dedicated spaces housing an existing mobile home which could provide supplementary accommodation (subject to planning approval). This land is perfectly suited for equestrian purposes due to its quality pastureland ideal for grazing or riding activities.
Dira Barton's estate also features an impressive array of adaptable outbuildings—ranging from a beautifully restored Grade II listed thatched barn to practical structures like cattle sheds and stone-built storage facilities—that present considerable potential for conversion into leisure facilities or further residential units (contingent upon securing necessary permissions).
This exceptional property offers not just expansive land but also unique outbuilding opportunities within its serene yet accessible locale in rural Devon—making it perfect for those interested in multi-generational living arrangements or countryside pursuits.
