Upcott Barton is an impressive Grade II* listed manor house that dates back to the early 16th century, situated in a serene location amidst the picturesque Mid Devon countryside. This property boasts an array of original features, including exquisite ceiling moulds, decorative gables, and traditional open fireplaces. Remarkably preserved oak panelled walls add to its historical charm. The surrounding walled gardens are beautifully laid out and provide a scenic backdrop, while the extensive outbuildings around a traditional courtyard present significant potential for development, subject to planning permissions. An additional highlight is the Roundhouse, which was completed in 2015 and serves as a successful holiday let, showcasing innovative construction techniques inspired by Iron Age architecture.
The interior welcomes you with a grand entrance hall leading to well-sized drawing and dining rooms that overlook the landscaped gardens. The traditional kitchen/breakfast room, featuring exposed timber beams and an Aga, offers further possibilities for modernisation or expansion. The property includes seven spacious double bedrooms across two upper floors—perfect for families or guest accommodations—with one bedroom benefitting from an en suite.
The grounds encompass approximately 30 acres of diverse landscapes including pasture land, arable fields, and woodland areas along with a variety of mature gardens designed in terraces. These outdoor spaces not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also offer potential for agricultural or recreational uses. Located just a mile from Poughill village and close to Crediton and Exeter, this property combines rural tranquillity with accessibility to local amenities and transport links.
With its historic significance and substantial grounds paired with development capabilities, Upcott Barton represents a unique investment opportunity in the heart of Devon.
