Property description
Upcott Barton Farmhouse (Lot 1)
Upcott Barton Farmhouse is a five bedroom house in private setting with pretty views over the surrounding farmland. Grade II* Listed, mentioned in the Doomsday Book and referred to by the Reverend Baring-Gould (local 17th century novelist and scholar) in his 1890 work on country houses, Upcott Barton is full of charm and character.
Surrounded by a former dairy unit and range of traditional barns there is comfortable scope for wider landscaping and alternative use. With just over 26 acres of ring-fenced land surrounding, the ability to use the land and buildings for equine, amenity and recreational purposes, is possible along with running the Property as a smallholding.
Upcott Barton Farmhouse occupies a rural position near the villages of St.Giles-On-The-Heath, Broadwoodwidger and Lifton provide a range of local facilities including shops, post office, primary schools and public houses. The dramatic North Cornish coast with its sandy beaches and surfing hotspots is a short distance away and in the opposite direction are the wide open spaces for walking and riding upon Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. To the south are the hidden treasures of the Tamar Valley steeped in 18th Century mining history. Roadford Reservoir is nearby with its lakeside café and water sports centre.
The former market town of Launceston is the nearest town providing a full range of social, recreational and shopping facilities. There are good private schools at Launceston, Tavistock and Truro.
Consultation has been undertaken with the local planning authority and conservation officer regarding the three traditional barns and this consultation has provided us with indicative favourable support from both consultees regarding residential development.
