Property Description

"Timeless beauty set amidst Devonshire’s lush pastures..commanding fine views over the South Hams"

In an ideal position for beaches, the Dart Estuary and Dartmoor and midway between Totnes and Newton Abbot, lies Newhouse Barton, a brand new collection of sympathetically and carefully restored conversions. Formerly making up the buildings of a working farm, they have slate roofs and are built from local Devonshire stone. Enjoying peace and quiet, the holiday cottages are set amidst pastureland, and benefit from beautiful and unforgettable views of stunning countryside. Newhouse Barton enjoys a fine range of on-site facilities including a Roman-style indoor swimming pool (heated all year) as well as a young children’s play area and games room with pool table, table tennis and table football. This ideal family holiday location is excellent for bird watching as featured on Channel 4’s Wild Thing - wildlife documentary series featuring owls. The surrounding area provides a wealth of variety in landscape, from the vast expanse of Dartmoor to the scenic River Dart, which curls inland through rolling farmland. Many pretty sleepy fishing villages are dotted along the coast, where sandy coves combine with rocky headlands. Steam-hauled trains to Paignton providing further facilities for holiday makers, and the town’s large zoo and botanical gardens covers 75 acres. Neighbouring Torquay, with its palm trees and flourishing sub tropical plants emanates an almost Mediterranean feel. The picturesque fishing port of Brixham lies quietly, with brightly painted houses climbing the steep slopes rising from its harbour. A mile east of Brixham is Berry Head, a country park and nature reserve, which commands glorious views over Torbay, and a 3-mile path to the south passes along unspoilt coast. Also within easy reach is the wild beauty of Dartmoor, with its abundance of wildlife, dramatic landscapes, as well as the famous ponies. An abundance of National Trust properties are close by, waiting to be explored. Historic Dartmouth, and Salcombe with its beaches and sailing are also easily accessible, as well as Blackpool Sands, Slapton and picturesque Dittisham. Shops 1½ miles.
