This “substantial and immaculate” farmhouse on a riverbank comes with its own library, hot tub and summerhouse.

The Barton, in Neopardy, Crediton, has plenty of character, retaining original fireplaces and exposed timber beams throughout.

The thatched farmhouse, which is arranged over three floors, has the potential to be used either as one large home or split for multi-generational living.

On the ground floor, there is a family room, a kitchen and breakfast room, a drawing room, a dining hall and a library, as well as two WCs, a utility room and a larder.

Upstairs, there are six bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, while the principal bedroom and en-suite bathroom sits on the top floor.

The grounds, which front onto the River Yeo, span 9.5 acres, including landscaped gardens, meadows, a lake, an orchard and a paved terrace.

There is also a fire pit, two ponds with a waterfall, a Jacuzzi hot tub and a gravel driveway.

Outbuildings include a garage, workshop and store, a summer house and a greenhouse, as well as a heated garden toilet.

The house is being marketed by Strutt & Parker, and is listed for £1,350,000.

Tom Folland, of Strutt & Parker Exeter, commented: “The Barton is such a unique home as it has all the charming features of a country cottage, while benefiting from the proportions of a large family house.

“With its seven bedrooms and the various living spaces downstairs, including a snug and library/office, The Barton is perfect for buyers wanting a spacious, characterful home with a touch of modern finish for easy everyday living.

“The garden is a real stand-out feature. The nine and a half acres of grounds offer both privacy and a wonderful natural paradise – with a mix of landscaped gardens, meadows, an orchard and woodland.

“For the warmer months, there’s also lovely spaces for outdoor entertaining, including a summer house, terrace with a fire pit and even a hot tub – bliss!”
