INTRODUCTIONSet within approximately two acres of idyllic South Hams countryside, Harbourne Valley Farm presents a rare and versatile lifestyle opportunity on the edge of the sought-after village of Harbertonford. Combining the charm of a characterful 200-year-old farm house with the flexibility of a beautifully converted barn, this unique offering is perfectly suited to multigenerational living, income generation, or those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat with exceptional adaptability.The principal farm house is deceptively spacious, offering three-bedroom accommodation rich in warmth and character, while the detached barn conversion—thoughtfully converted in the early 2000s—provides an additional two/three-bedroom residence with its own distinct personality and style. Complementing the accommodation further is a detached garden studio, ideal for home working, creative pursuits, guest overflow or wellness space.Surrounded by rolling countryside and enjoying a tranquil yet highly convenient setting, Harbourne Valley Farm captures the essence of rural South Devon living. The property enjoys excellent access to the wild beauty of Dartmoor National Park, the stunning South Hams coastline and beaches, whilst remaining within easy reach of nearby market towns and commuter routes connecting across Devon.The versatility here is exceptional. Whether utilised as two independent homes for extended family, as a home with ancillary accommodation for holiday letting or income potential, or reconfigured into one substantial residence (subject to any necessary consents), Harbourne Valley Farm offers a lifestyle opportunity rarely found in such a well-connected countryside setting. There is also potential opportunity to acquire additional adjoining land, further enhancing the appeal for those seeking a smallholding, equestrian potential or simply greater privacy and space.Both homes enjoy their own unique charm and atmosphere, creating a wonderful balance between period character and modern country living in one of the South Hams’ most desirable village settings.SELLERS INSIGHT“When we found Harbourne Valley Farm, we knew almost immediately that it was something incredibly special. We had spent over a year searching for the right setup for ourselves and my parents, but everything we viewed seemed to offer a lovely main house with only a very small annexe attached. What we really wanted was two proper homes — equal in size, quality and comfort — where we could all enjoy independence whilst still being close enough to support one another. That proved surprisingly difficult to find, until we arrived here.Moving from London, we were searching for a completely different pace of life — the ‘good life’ people dream about. We wanted space, countryside, nature and somewhere our son could grow up surrounded by the outdoors. Watching him explore the land, enjoy the wildlife and simply have the freedom to be outside has been incredibly special for us as a family.Of course, we wanted views too — who doesn’t? But equally, we didn’t want to feel completely isolated. Harbourne Valley Farm somehow manages to strike the perfect balance. You feel wonderfully private and immersed in the countryside, without feeling cut off from the world. There’s such a peaceful atmosphere here and a real sense of quiet enjoyment. Even though the property is conveniently positioned for easy access in and out of Totnes and the surrounding area, once you are within the grounds it feels remarkably secluded and calm.We absolutely love being just five minutes from Totnes. It’s such a vibrant and spirited town with so much character. My parents especially love being close to the Dartington Trust — they are members there and spend so much time enjoying the grounds, café and art programmes. Having that nearby has become a huge part of their lifestyle here.The setup of the homes has worked brilliantly for us. We each have our own space and independence because the properties are detached, yet we are close enough to help one another whenever needed. It has been the perfect multigenerational arrangement.The privacy here is also something we’ve always appreciated. The electric gates and long driveway create such a wonderful sense of arrival and security. You never have people passing your front door, and once you’re home, you really do feel tucked away in your own peaceful world.This home has given us exactly the lifestyle we hoped for when we left London — space, freedom, nature, family connection and a sense of calm that is very hard to leave behind.”STEP INSIDE THE FARM HOUSEThe original farm house sits proudly in front of the barn, overlooking an attractive garden and adjoining open farmers’ fields, immediately capturing the quintessential charm of an English country home.

A well-presented family bathroom serves the accommodation, completing a home that successfully blends period character with practical modern living.Despite its charming farm house façade, the property offers surprisingly generous accommodation throughout, creating a home that feels both intimate and spacious in equal measure.STEP INSIDE THE BARNThe detached barn conversion offers a wonderful contrast to the traditional farm house, blending rustic architectural character with a more contemporary, almost art deco-inspired aesthetic. Converted in the early 2000s, the barn has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate volume, light and texture, resulting in a home that feels both creative and inviting.At its heart is a striking principal reception room where exposed stone walls, warm wooden flooring and a corner wood burning stove combine to create an atmosphere that is both cosy and dramatic. A concealed cloakroom allows the design to remain clean and uncluttered.From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the impressive split-level kitchen and dining space, undoubtedly one of the barn’s standout features. Beautifully arranged with modern country-style cabinetry and tiled flooring, the kitchen balances practicality with character. A few steps rise to the elevated dining area where the full architectural impact of the barn is revealed. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and an expansive feature window flood the space with natural light and frame enchanting views across the surrounding greenery, creating an uplifting and highly sociable environment for both everyday living and entertaining.The barn’s versatility continues from the living space to a room, rich in character with exposed stone walls, this flexible space could serve equally well as a bedroom, second reception room, studio or guest accommodation, with direct access leading through to the garden room and out into the surrounding grounds.Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a wonderfully peaceful outlook, with doors opening onto a Juliet balcony perfectly positioned to take in the far-reaching countryside views — a beautiful scene to wake up to each morning. A second bedroom, complete with cabin bed and Velux window, adds further charm and practicality, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the first-floor accommodation.Throughout the barn, there is a wonderful interplay between old and new; exposed beams and stonework sit comfortably alongside clean contemporary finishes, creating a home with immense personality, warmth and flexibility.STEP OUTSIDEApproached from the road through electric gates, a long private driveway passes the grounds on either side, past generous parking areas—including an additional parking space positioned towards the top of the driveway—with the paddock to one side and gardens to the other, creating an immediate sense of arrival and rural seclusion.The farm house itself enjoys a quintessentially charming setting, fronted by a neat lawn enclosed by traditional stone walling and complemented by a delightful seating area perfectly positioned to enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings. An external stone staircase rises to the former hayloft, currently providing excellent storage space, yet also offering intriguing potential to become integral to the cottage accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.Connecting the farm house and barn is a shared courtyard. Equally suited as a sociable communal area or capable of being adapted to provide greater separation and privacy between the two residences if desired, this central courtyard creates a wonderful flow between the buildings. Additional tucked-away seating areas are dotted throughout the grounds, each thoughtfully positioned to capture the sunshine and take in the beautiful countryside views at different times of day.The gardens continue to unfold around the barn conversion, where a lawn extends to the side and rear, creating an idyllic outdoor setting for entertaining, family gatherings or quiet relaxation. A raised decked terrace provides an elevated vantage point across the surrounding landscape, perfectly placed for evening drinks, outdoor dining or simply appreciating the peaceful rural outlook.Beyond lies the garden studio, complete with power, lighting and a shower room, offering exceptional versatility. Whether utilised as guest accommodation, a creative studio, home office, wellness space or holiday let potential, it provides yet another layer of flexibility to this already highly adaptable property.The acreage extends predominantly to the eastern side of the property, creating a wonderfully natural environment ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, families, smallholding aspirations or simply those seeking space and freedom. A blend of meadow and open grassland has been thoughtfully maintained with pathways cut through the land for gentle walks and exploration, while a small area of woodland further enhances the sense of privacy and connection to nature. From many points within the grounds, there are far-reaching countryside views that reinforce the feeling of being immersed in the South Hams landscape.For buyers seeking even greater acreage or lifestyle potential, the adjoining land is understood to be owned by a local individual who may be open to discussions regarding the sale of additional land, presenting an exciting opportunity to expand the holding further if desired.USEFUL INFORMATION:THE FARM HOUSE Gas central heating Private water Private drainage Freehold Council Tax: EPC:THE BARN Electric heating Private water Private drainage Freehold Council Tax: EPC:

We wanted something that felt truly remote — surrounded by countryside and nature — yet still close enough to everyday life. Here, we found that perfect balance. The house is just minutes from everything — the moors, the coast, and nearby towns — yet when you arrive, it feels as though you’re miles from anywhere.As a family, we needed to be near good schools and local amenities, and honestly, we didn’t think we’d find somewhere that offered both practicality and seclusion. Then we found Bickington Barton — and it changed everything. It’s so quiet and private, and the setting has given us a lifestyle we only ever dreamed of.We always wanted to try our hand at a smallholding, especially while the children were young enough to enjoy it, and this property gave us the confidence to do just that. It’s given us all a new lease of life — fresh air, space, and the joy of living in tune with the land.We adore the character and history of the house. It’s incredible to think of the generations who have lived here before us, and the many centuries of stories within these walls. Every quirky feature — from the granite pillars to the old plank-and-muntin screen — adds to its charm, and we’ve loved every single one of them.As the children grew, the space here has been a blessing — everyone has room to spread out without ever feeling on top of each other. The bedroom at the rear has been ideal for visiting family and later became a perfect space for our eldest son, giving him independence while still keeping him close.Outside there are no limitations, life flows easily between swimming in the pool during summer, lounging or working in the garden, or tending to the animals year-round. Living here has brought us such a healthy, balanced way of life, and we’ll always be grateful for the years we’ve spent as part of this incredible home’s story.
