INTRODUCTION Commanding a magnificent position between Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon coast, Bickington Barton is an exceptional 16th-century grade II listed country residence that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern rural living. Set within just over six acres of glorious Devon countryside, this distinguished property offers a rare lifestyle opportunity — combining character, versatility, and breathtaking views in equal measure. Beautifully presented, the main house retains a wealth of period features, from exposed beams and granite fireplaces to graceful proportions throughout. The grounds encompass a range of traditional barns, a stable block, and a former piggery, presenting exciting potential for equestrian use or a thriving smallholding. With ample space and privacy, the property also lends itself to multi-generational living or guest accommodation, with scope to create an impressive annex or holiday retreat (subject to planning consents). Peacefully positioned on the edge of a charming rural village, Bickington Barton enjoys an idyllic countryside setting, offering an unparalleled Devon lifestyle of comfort, heritage, and natural beauty. HISTORY With roots reaching deep into England’s early history, Bickington Barton occupies land first settled during the Saxon era and is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The property forms part of a rich rural heritage, in the company of other period homes and barn conversions, all built around the 15th-century village church — a timeless setting that has evolved gracefully through the centuries. Once owned by the Bickford family, a name long associated with local prosperity, the estate bears a proud connection to William Bickford, inventor of the pioneering Safety Fuse in 1831 — a creation that transformed the mining industry by drastically improving safety of the miners. Many of the home’s original architectural features remain beautifully preserved, including granite pillars and fireplaces, and an exquisite plank-and-muntin screen, each echoing the craftsmanship of a bygone age. The surrounding landscape tells its own story. Just down the lane, The Dartmoor Halfway Inn recalls a time when farmers transporting livestock to coastal market ports would rest overnight — drawn by the fertile land and natural wells that sustained travellers and animals alike. Today, gazing across the rolling fields, it is easy to imagine the scene centuries ago — animals grazing on the same rich pasture and the enduring rhythm of rural Devon life continuing much as it always has. STEP INSIDE Granite pillars herald the entrance to Bickington Barton, inviting you into a home where history and character are woven into every detail. Upon entering, the reception room immediately impresses, featuring a large fireplace, wooden flooring, and a window overlooking the picturesque garden, complete with fitted wooden shutters. A beautifully preserved plank-and-muntin screen adds further historic charm, creating a welcoming space that truly oozes character. Adjoining the reception room, a cozy snug offers an intimate retreat, with its own fireplace and traditional window shutters, perfect for quiet evenings. The living room is a statement of grandeur and warmth, boasting parquet flooring and another impressive fireplace with a feature inset arch to the side which the current owners , decorate with seasoned logs. A door from the living room leads directly to an external porch, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is a bright, inviting heart of the home, designed around space for a central kitchen table, ideal for family gatherings. Solid oak worktops and wooden units frame an electric AGA with electric module, complemented by a bespoke mantel. Original granite flooring and marble tops surrounding the sink lend timeless elegance. Adjacent, a utility room — originally the kitchen — provides practical washing facilities and leads to a spacious pantry housing large electric batteries (available by negotiation). The property also includes a boot room, with a range of units, ideal as kitchen overspill plus access to the rear courtyard so ideal for bringing in dirty boots and pets. A cloakroom adds convenience with attractive tiled flooring linking to the boot room. Ascending to the upper floors, the property offers six generously proportioned bedrooms, arranged around a split-level landing that reflects the home’s historic character. The main bedroom is a particularly impressive space, once likely two separate rooms, now offering a spacious retreat complete with a modern ensuite, dressing room, and breathtaking views across the surrounding Devon countryside. Five of the bedrooms enjoy stunning vistas, with windows overlooking the front and side of the house and the sweeping landscape beyond. To the rear of the house is a highly versatile space easily serving as a self-contained annex, with a large bedroom, adjoining sitting space, ensuite bathroom, and a private entrance from the courtyard, ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental use. The main bathroom is elegantly appointed, featuring a sunken bath, and wooden flooring. SELLERS INSIGHT “When we first discovered Bickington Barton, we instantly fell in love with its rural tranquillity and timeless charm. 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. Now, it’s time for someone else to fall in love with Bickington Barton and make their own story.” STEP OUTSIDE The front of Bickington Barton is approached via a private driveway, offering ample parking and a five-bar gate leading to the yard. A detached barn provides versatile storage and features an undercroft. Stone walling surrounds the garden, which is accessed via a picturesque gate leading to the front door. Multiple seating areas have been created to take full advantage of the stunning surrounding views, with raised decking offering a perfect vantage point to enjoy sunsets across the valley. The garden itself is beautifully maintained, with a lush lawn, mature trees, and a variety of sunlit spaces for relaxation. A gate from the garden leads to the heated swimming pool, powered by an air source heat pump, with a stone-built pump house tucked discreetly behind. Another gate opens into a secret walled garden, providing a private retreat enclosed by ancient stone walls. The rear of the property is highly practical, featuring a courtyard with direct access to the utility room, ideal for pets. A rear concreted yard connects to a listed former piggery, retaining cobbled flooring, original granite troughs, and visible runs where piglets would have moved from each sow — a rare and evocative glimpse into the property’s agricultural past. Stone-built stables comprise four spacious boxes and a tack room, all fitted with lighting, concrete troughs, and a water supply. Attached is a large workshop, with an upper floor hayloft providing additional barn space with level access to the rear yard. A fully fenced field lies behind the property, offering breathtaking views of Haytor Rocks and the village church, there is also an area of woodland and a large space, formally a substantial vegetable garden. The remainder of the land includes a large field to the south, with additional gated access from the lane, making the estate ideal for smallholding, equestrian pursuits, or leisure activities, while preserving total privacy and the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.

SELLERS INSIGHT What first drew us to the property, and what we have enjoyed so much over the last three years, is the wonderful sense of space, tranquillity and closeness to nature. With no near neighbours and an abundance of wildlife all around, it has been a true haven of peace and quiet. The shepherd’s hut and hot tub have added another lovely dimension to life here, giving us the chance to host friends and enjoy some very special get-togethers. We understand the previous owners also used the hut as a source of additional income, which may appeal to future owners. For anyone with green fingers, the polytunnel has been incredibly useful, complemented by a number of raised beds. It has also worked brilliantly as a log store, seasoning wood in as little as three months. One of the more unusual benefits for us has been the amount of garaging and parking. As car enthusiasts, we have loved being able to keep up to five cars under cover within the two large garages, with further space available on the driveways and hardstanding. We are only moving because we are ready to downsize. With around three acres here, it offers more land than we now need, but for the right buyer it provides a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful and private setting. STEP INSIDE Positioned to make the very most of its commanding views across the Somerset countryside, Sanford House enjoys a beautiful south-facing aspect and offers spacious, adaptable accommodation with excellent flexibility. The principal sitting room has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the outlook, with no expense spared, including pocket doors that slide seamlessly into the wall to frame the views and create a wonderful connection to the outside. In cooler weather, a wood burner brings warmth and atmosphere, ensuring the room feels cosy whatever the season. A separate study provides a quiet space to work or retreat, while the generous dining/family room is equally versatile, enjoying lovely views, direct access to the gardens and the comfort of a further wood burner. The kitchen is beautifully appointed and well equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including double ovens and an induction hob, while the central island is perfectly placed to enjoy the outlook over the garden. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with a large utility room offering direct access outside and ample space for muddy boots, wet dogs or children after time spent outdoors. Even the boiler cupboard has been designed with useful drying space in mind. Upstairs, you are spoilt for choice with two bedrooms worthy of being the principal suite. At one end of the house, a superb bedroom enjoys a picture window that perfectly captures the views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, and is complemented by an air conditioning unit, ideal for warmer weather. Currently arranged as a gym, it is a wonderfully uplifting space that could easily inspire a workout with such an outlook. Adjoining is a luxuriously appointed shower room with a generous double enclosure. The second contender for the main bedroom is tucked further away, making it equally well suited as a private guest suite, and is also positioned to take full advantage of the stunning rural views. Its en suite bathroom is beautifully fitted, featuring a freestanding Lusso stone bath and separate shower enclosure. In addition, there are three further bedrooms and a well-appointed family shower room. STEP OUTSIDE Sanford House enjoys a beautifully peaceful and private setting, with uninterrupted views and a wonderful sense of seclusion. Offering much more than just a home, the property presents an exceptional lifestyle opportunity. An adjoining 2-acre paddock with its own vehicular access provides excellent versatility and is currently home to goats and chickens, although it could easily be adapted for equestrian use if desired. The property benefits from driveways on both sides of the house. To the left is a detached double garage with enclosed parking, while to the right there is a larger-than-average double garage, additional parking, and an adjoining timber studio with power connected. The beautiful sweeping level gardens adjoin open farmland and have been designed to make the very most of the glorious views. Interspersed with a variety of shrubs and mature trees, they create a wonderful backdrop for outdoor living and enjoyment. Tucked away in the far right-hand corner of the garden is a delightful shepherd’s hut with an adjacent wood-fired hot tub. This provides an idyllic retreat and has previously been used successfully as an Airbnb, with the right-hand vehicular access allowing for private guest parking. Alternatively, it is, of course, the perfect place for personal relaxation and enjoyment. Utilities and Services: Mains electricity, oil fired central heating (underfloor and radiators). Mains water. Private drainage. We encourage you to check before viewing a property the potential broadband speeds and mobile signal coverage.

Seller Insight Attwood Place has been our home for the past twenty nine years. From the very first moment we stepped inside, there was an undeniable welcoming spirit and the beautiful inglenook fireplace sealed our decision. As a Grade II listed property dating back to 1703, it carries with it a rich heritage. We even had the privilege of celebrating its 300th anniversary here, hosting a wonderful party to mark the occasion. During our time here, we have been careful to modernise while preserving its charm. We added a garage in the traditional Kent barn style, blending practicality with character and a new roof in 2014. In the sitting room we introduced an additional window to flood the space with light - a lengthy process, but well worth the effort. We also installed a fireplace with a solid wooden beam, in keeping with the style. In the main bedroom we added a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. We also purchased extra land to extend the garden. . The house is full of beautiful features - exposed beams, many of which were reclaimed from old ships, each carrying its own story. My favourite spaces are the sitting room and dining room, both cosy and perfect for welcoming guests. The layout is unusual, with no passageways - each room flows into the next, making it ideal for entertaining. We are a sociable family, and friends have always loved visiting. In the winter, gatherings are held indoors by the fire, and in the summer, we entertain in the garden or by the swimming pool. The garden and orchard are wonderfully private, offering apples, plums, pears, blackberries, gooseberries, and even apricots. The village hall has offered cinema nights, childrens parties, church and fund raising events, fitness classes including pilates and yoga. Its a place that brings people together in the local community. We are also fortunate to have one pub which is very sociable. All amenities are within easy reach. What we will miss most when we leave is the sense of space, the privacy, and above all, the joy of entertaining family and friends here over the years. Attwood Place has been incredibly kind to us, and we have always considered ourselves its custodians. We hope that whoever makes it their home next will love it just as much as we have.

Sellers Insight Within moments of walking in through the back door, we were hooked, turning to see the first hint of the great views, framed by the Tudor inspired arch…. What is so surprising is that you get no inkling at all as you drive to the house, or from the outside. It’s only when you get to see the other side you get to appreciate the magic of what the elevated position gives. It’s not just a view , it’s a whole landscape…ranging over the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument in the distance, across the end of the valley and west out to glimpses of Exmoor. And such big skies! Both inside and out, we have created spaces where we can sit and enjoy glimpses of the views, landscaping the garden in particular to be able to choose spots to follow the sun, and watch stunning sunsets. And, of course, the view ever changes with the seasons. Plenty of places for calm and quiet working or dreaming, but also great entertaining space. Having family and friends over for barbeques or pizza nights on the deck overlooking the pool, or, on colder nights, all together in the big kitchen for tray-bakes, followed by gathering in cosy rooms around the fires…and on warm summer evenings the big skies turn to dark skies, no light pollution, so plenty of stargazing, competing to find the constellations… Services Shared septic tank for all of the properties Mains water and electricity Oil fired central heating Broadband is currently sourced via Starlink.

Upstairs, there are four generous double bedrooms, three of which are en suite, along with a stylish family bathroom. Each room offers lovely views, with the magnificent principal bedroom particularly notable for its size, triple-aspect windows, extensive fitted storage, and luxurious en suite. All bathrooms benefit from underfloor heating and a pressurised water system. `The main bedroom is another favourite, with four windows framing the views it`s a wonderfully calm and restorative space.` Outside The gardens and grounds form an exceptional feature of Kirkdene.

The principal lawn and terrace face south-west, capturing the sun throughout the day and providing a superb setting for entertaining or relaxation. To the side of the house lies the impressive swimming pool, complete with retractable safety cover and surrounding terrace all positioned to make the most of the elevated outlook. Beyond the gardens, a two-acre paddock with an abundance of mature fruit trees enhances the sense of space and seclusion. `The garden is full of life, with a pond in the field that attracts deer, herons, ducks, and the occasional fox. We enjoy sunshine from dawn until dusk, and the raised vegetable beds, fruit trees, and large rose arch bring me so much joy.` `This has been a wonderful home for entertaining the stone floors, spacious rooms, and flow of the house make it perfect for gatherings. We`ve celebrated every family milestone here, from birthdays to Christmases, and enjoyed countless summer pool parties.

INTRODUCTION Belton House is a truly exceptional coastal home, offering the perfect blend of luxury, space, and serenity. With breathtaking views over the coastline, this remarkable property is designed for those seeking both elegance and tranquility. Flooded with natural light, the spacious interiors span three floors and include five generously sized bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering comfort and flexibility for family life or entertaining guests. The garden is a standout feature — an oasis of calm inspired by the Italian Riviera. Mature Mediterranean planting, including a variety of palm trees, thrives in Torquay’s unique microclimate, creating a lush, exotic atmosphere that feels a world away from everyday life. A beautiful swimming pool completes this private paradise, and with Meadfoot Beach just a short walk away, Belton House truly offers the best of coastal living. This is a rare opportunity to own a peaceful and luxurious retreat in one of the South West’s most desirable locations. SELLERS INSIGHT “It was the garden that first drew me to Belton House. Having grown up in France, I had always dreamed of owning an orangery, and I knew I wanted an established garden, sea views, and — if I was lucky — a swimming pool. Belton House ticked every box. When I saw the wisteria bloom for the first time that May, I knew I’d found something truly special. For the past 15 years, I’ve poured love and care into creating a Mediterranean-style oasis, using no pesticides so that birds, bees, and butterflies could thrive here. Torquay’s unique microclimate has allowed me to grow a huge range of tropical and exotic plants that would never survive elsewhere in the UK. We moved here from London looking for a slower pace of life, proximity to the beach, and excellent schools. Meadfoot Beach is just a ten-minute walk away, and the local grammar schools and 20 nearby beaches made this an ideal location for our family. Despite the peaceful setting, we’re only minutes from Wellswood and its cafés, shops, and restaurants — and the Osborne Hotel is just down the road with an indoor pool and tennis court, which has suited our lifestyle perfectly. Inside, the house feels bright and spacious, with thick walls and large rooms that open up to the sea view. We later converted the attic to create even more space for our growing family. The layout has worked so well over the years — when the children were downstairs with friends, we could barely hear a sound! This home has been our sanctuary. We've hosted countless dinner parties and summer pool gatherings — it’s a sociable, open space, yet it often feels like we’re in the middle of nowhere. Our neighbours have become dear friends, and we’ve created so many memories here. The garden is my pride and joy and will be dearly missed. Belton House is unlike anywhere we’ve ever lived — it’s more than a home; it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and a little piece of paradise.” STEP INSIDE Hidden behind a substantial stone wall and sleek sliding gate, Belton House is a true coastal retreat. From the moment you arrive in the courtyard — where a large feature pond surrounded by mature planting fills the air with the soothing sound of trickling water — you’re immediately immersed in a sense of peace and Mediterranean charm. Step inside to a bright, open hallway, where natural light pours through vertical window panes framing views of the pond. White-washed floorboards and crisp, clean walls give the home a calm, continental feel. For convenience, there is a cloakroom and WC off the hallway. The generously sized living room enjoys stunning ocean views through two large windows. A sleek built-in media unit and electric fireplace add warmth and function, making this a perfect space to unwind. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which has patio doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the side courtyard. The flow continues into the stylish, contemporary kitchen, where patio doors lead to the front terrace and pond, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to blend harmoniously. At its heart is a large central island with an electric hob, integrated sink, and dishwasher. A wall of cabinetry houses the fridge, freezer, oven, and microwave, creating a highly functional and beautifully designed space. Also on the ground floor is a spacious bedroom suite featuring fitted wardrobes, two large windows framing coastal views, and a luxurious ensuite with both a bath and a walk-in shower. On the first floor, a landing leads to a guest WC and a superb bedroom suite complete with a large double bedroom, dressing room, and an ensuite wet room. Velux windows draw in natural light and capture sea views, while the room is generous enough to accommodate additional living furniture — ideal for guests or extended family. The lower ground floor offers flexible living with three further double bedrooms: one with an ensuite bathroom, another with a Jack-and-Jill shower room connecting to the principal suite, which opens via patio doors onto the terrace overlooking the swimming pool. This level also features a well-equipped laundry room. Additionally, you'll find a study or library with fitted bookshelves, and a second reception room with patio doors leading out to the side courtyard — ideal as a garden room, home office, or additional lounge.
