Owners Comments
“Barton House has been a delight for our family. The house itself is solid and warm, with a great stove in the cozy snug room and plenty of light on sunny days. The large kitchen connects well to the garden and land. In the fields, our gorgeous brook and the river beyond have given us hours of fun, foraging and fly fishing, and we have enjoyed many family BBQs, camping parties, and splash-arounds.

There are many different spaces around the house when we needed some peace and quiet, from the fishpond to the orchard, the vine room, outbuildings, and all the garden suntraps. The massive shed has been the ultimate workshop and project space, with plenty of additional storage for agricultural equipment, classic cars, boats, or aircraft.

We’ve found Canworthy Water to be a quiet and welcoming hamlet, within easy driving distance from three well-established towns and plenty of schools. Popping ten minutes up the road for a sundowner at Crackington Haven is just the best.”
