Description

Presented by Ian Bransdon, part of By Design’s network and trusted for more than 30 years in the South Devon property market.

INTRODUCTION
A rare opportunity to acquire a wonderful home and remarkable piece of English architectural history, Buckland Barton House is a Grade II listed former Manor House dating back to around 1086. Rich in heritage and reimagined over centuries, this unique Tudor home sits within approximately 0.75 acres of beautifully arranged grounds, offering a lifestyle that blends history, character, and countryside living. Within Buckland Barton House, we are offering Buckland Barton House and Tudor Cottage for sale providing a fabulous home and income opportunity. These two properties are offered For Sale along with the Freehold ownership of the whole building which encompasses four additional separately owned apartments. The current owners are the Freeholders of Buckland Barton House which is being sold.

It is understood that this historic home was once part of a 1,000 acre estate and the property carries with it stories spanning generations from the Hockmore family through to the present owners, who have carefully preserved its integrity while creating a warm and welcoming home. Today, it stands as a truly one of a kind residence, offering both a substantial main house and an enchanting Tudor cottage.

SELLER'S INSIGHT
"Living at Buckland Barton House, an ancient Manor House which is over 900 years old, has been an absolute privilege. It has brought us warmth and pleasure as well as a useful income stream.

As outdoors people, we have loved the connection to the land and the history, whether sitting in our garden looking out across the rolling fields, or
discovering hidden details within the house itself. The cottage in particular has revealed incredible features over time, reminding us just how special this
place is.

The gardens have been a joy to create and live in, from growing our own food to enjoying long evenings outdoors. It’s a home full of stories, and we hope the next owners will continue to write their own.”

STEP INSIDE
The interiors of both properties are defined by character, scale, and an undeniable sense of history. Period features sit at the heart of these homes, from striking inglenook fireplaces, stone mullioned windows, to high ornate Tudor moulded ceilings that draw in natural light, particularly across the south facing frontage.

The main house offers a series of beautifully proportioned rooms, including generous living spaces suitable for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room forms a central hub, combining traditional charm with practical functionality, while the large adjoining living room, with its impressive fireplace, creates a cosy focal point. To the first floor level there are four good size bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom suite.

Beyond the main house, Tudor Cottage provides a compelling addition. Currently arranged as self-contained accommodation with its own entrance, a recently refurbished kitchen and two bedrooms, it reveals even deeper layers of the property’s past, including a restored Tudor inglenook fireplace, an original oak screen with a priest hole, and intricate period detailing. This flexible space offers potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or it could be reintegrated into the adjoining Buckland House providing one substantial home.

STEP OUTSIDE
The grounds are as captivating as the house itself, thoughtfully designed to offer both structure and natural beauty. Approached via a long driveway, the setting unfolds into expansive lawned gardens, framed by mature planting and far-reaching countryside views. A series of distinct outdoor spaces invite exploration, from the walled garden and pergola draped in wisteria and vine, to the tranquil pond with waterfalls and productive areas including a greenhouse, vegetable garden, and orchard.

There is a sense of quiet seclusion throughout, enhanced by historic features such as a ha-ha to the side boundary, while more social spaces like the South American inspired barbecue area create the perfect setting for entertaining under the glow of a Victorian lamp post.

Practicality is equally well considered, with ample parking, garaging, a workshop, and a former forge adding to the property’s versatility.
