Delightful Grade II* Listed farmhouse affording the opportunity to own one of the most exceptional properties in this sought after village, with 6.39 acres and range of adjoining outbuildings with development potential (STP).
INTRODUCTION
Poole Barton is a beautiful Late 15th century house affording mature south facing gardens and flexible accommodation. This Grade II* Listed property is one of the most historically and architecturally significant houses in this popular and attractive village.
SITUATION
Poole Barton is situated in an attractive corner of Cheriton Fitzpaine, a popular village occupying a secluded and beautiful valley within Mid Devon. The house enjoys bucolic views to the Grade I Listed village church and fields to the west and south, yet is readily accessible from Crediton, Exeter, the M5 (J27) and Tiverton Parkway. Cheriton Fitzpaine is a delightful village with a vibrant atmosphere and amenities extending to two village pubs, community shop, primary school and sports facilities including a football club and well presented cricket ground. Within 10 miles of the property, the county town of Exeter affords a comprehensive range of commercial, recreational and educational facilities befitting its status as a cathedral city.
POOLE BARTON
This Late 15th century Grade II* Listed property possesses considerable charm and character, much of which is believed original and ensures Poole Barton is one of the most architecturally important houses in the local area. Notable features include late 15th century jointed cruck trusses, a presumed original oak plank-and-muntin screen to the cross passage, and prominent lateral chimney stacks noted by Pevsner. The internal accommodation would benefit from sympathetic refurbishment and provides prospective purchasers with a rare opportunity to improve one of Mid Devon’s finest houses.
