Hill Barton House Hill Barton farmhouse is a detached property, which is not Listed, and has been the subject of considerable refurbishment over recent years, including double glazing and the installation of oil-fired central heating by the previous owners. The accommodation is particularly well-proportioned with high ceilings to the principal reception rooms and an attractive southerly aspect across surrounding countryside towards the Dartmoor National Park.
