Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Newton Abbot, TQ13 :
DESCRIPTION Town Barton lies in the centre of the upper part of Manaton close to the pretty village green and within the Conservation Area designated by the Dartmoor National Park. The property is a short walk from the church, village hall and cricket field. The local pub and village tennis court are also close by. The pub offers basic shop facilities and the village hall has a post office once a week and a doctors surgery.
Town Barton was built around 1840 and the house is a fine, solid, rendered granite built property being rendered and with lovely views. South facing, Town Barton has a light and welcoming atmosphere. The property offers three reception rooms, a large farmhouse kitchen with Rayburn, scullery, hall and porch. Upstairs are four bedrooms, bathroom and separate shower room en suite and separate WC.
The loft is boarded with staircase and could possibly be incorporated into the living space subject to any necessary permissions. Attached to the house at the rear is a self-contained annexe, currently let, but could easily be brought back into the house or used as an office. The house has an oil fired central heating system and an oil gravity fed Rayburn which heats the water as well as cooking. The study and sitting room both have open fires which are in constant use and burn beautifully.
The dining room has a wood burning stove set within a large stone fireplace. The house retains many of the original features like fireplaces, picture rails and even the original kitchen range, now in the dining room.
LOCATION The busy and lively village of Manaton lies on the attractive eastern slopes of Dartmoor with excellent walking and riding on the doorstep. For shopping Moretonhampstead and Bovey Tracey are both about four miles distant with Newton Abbot, Dartington, Torquay and Exeter also being easily accessible. The local state schools are Moretonhampstead Primary and South Dartmoor and good independent schools are located at Stover and Exeter.
