Description
Trafalgar Barton is an exquisite mini estate set in the rolling East Devon countryside, offering a unique blend of historical charm and elegant modernity. This 19.75-acre property, with partial sea views, features a main residence that was built by Captain Yule, a lieutenant on HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. The current owners have lovingly restored the house, which now stands as a well-appointed family home with south-facing reception rooms that boast stunning views over the valley and plenty of natural light.
The grand entrance hall with its polished wooden floor and breathtaking staircase sets the tone for the rest of the house, leading to the main sitting-room that basks in the sun all day. The dining-room and superb kitchen with its Aga range are adjacent, while the second sitting-room features a cosy granite fireplace.
Upstairs, the impressive galleried landing leads to generous bedroom accommodation, including a master suite with sea views and an en-suite shower room. A games-room with sea views is found on the top floor.
The property also includes two refurbished holiday cottages and planning permission for a third, making it an ideal opportunity for those looking to generate income through holiday lets. The outdoor space features a patio area and barbecue spot, perfect for al fresco dining, as well as a rose garden and rockery gardens. The surrounding land includes several fields and paddocks, with the vegetable garden partially walled.
Situated near the picturesque village of Branscombe, Trafalgar Barton is within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast's beautiful beaches, including Branscombe Beach, and is close to the vibrant towns of Sidmouth and Exeter. The nearby countryside is rich with local produce, and the property's proximity to the coastline offers access to the Exe Estuary Trail and the ancient city of Exeter, with its historic cathedral and bustling quayside. This property is a treasure trove of history, beauty, and potential for a luxurious country lifestyle.
