Set in the heart of the Dart Valley in South Devon, Sandridge Barton House is a classically furnished six-bedroom Georgian farmhouse nestled among vineyards, and woods in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Once home to Elizabethan explorer John Davis, the house offers a peaceful, historic setting for family stays, group gatherings or countryside retreats.
As you drive down through the estate, you’ll pass rows of vines and fruit trees, with sweeping views of the River Dart before arriving at the house. Tucked away in a private corner of the valley, the house has ample parking and plenty of outdoor space, all surrounded by the sights and sounds of life on the estate.
Inside, the house is spacious, light-filled and full of character. There are six bedrooms and five bathrooms in total:
The main hallway leads into an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens out onto the south-facing terrace — perfect for outdoor dining in warmer months. There’s a cosy snug with a wood-burning stove, a large dining table for 12, and a fully equipped kitchen with Everhot range, breakfast bar, and utility area with washer, dryer and extra fridge/freezer.
Also on the ground floor is a peaceful drawing room with river views and an open fire, plus a separate TV room for lazy evenings or movie nights. Starlink WiFi is available throughout the house.
The heated indoor pool opens up to the back terrace and measures 30ft by 15ft, with a depth of 4’9”. There’s a changing area, WC, and towels are provided. It’s a tranquil space to unwind after a day of walking, exploring or wine tasting.
This level also includes a wine-tasting and dining space with bar, extra seating, and a kitchenette with oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge. The sixth bedroom is accessed from here, with its own en-suite bathroom and garden access.
Perfect for rainy days or post-dinner tournaments, the separate games barn includes a full-size snooker table, table tennis, table football, games and a TV/DVD setup.
The back terrace looks out across the fields and down to the river. It features an outdoor dining table, barbecue and loungers — made for long lunches and evenings outside with a glass of something chilled.
Guests are welcome to explore the estate during their stay — wander through the orchards, follow the vineyard trails, or simply soak up the views across the valley. Just bear in mind that Sandridge Barton is a working farm and vineyard, so we kindly ask you to steer clear of outbuildings and machinery, and take care while exploring.
The charming village of Stoke Gabriel is just two kilometres away, with a couple of good pubs, a village shop and a lovely waterside restaurant tucked along the creek.
Further afield, you’ll find plenty to discover — the beaches of Torbay, the fishing town of Brixham, historic Dartmouthand Totnes, and a host of National Trust gems, including Agatha Christie’s Greenway, just across the river. Whether you’re after lazy coastal days or a bit of local history, you won’t be short on options..
Please note the recommended arrival before 5pm, no pets, and no smoking.
