Newton Tracey, Barnstaple

Newton Tracey, Barnstaple

Tucked into the quiet hamlet of East Kennacott, this is a former farmhouse of real heritage and presence, now standing in need of complete and sympathetic restoration. Part of a group of Listed buildings, it offers a once in a generation chance to take a building of genuine historic interest and bring it sensitively back to life. This is a substantial and demanding project, not a renovation in the cosmetic sense. The property is has not been habitable for many years and requires extensive structural repair throughout, including significant works to the roof and floors. It will appeal to a buyer with the vision, resources and appetite to restore a special building, and to do so with the care its heritage deserves. What survives, however, is full of promise. Behind the dilapidation sit handsome leaded casement windows, exposed stone and timber, and the kind of period proportions that simply cannot be recreated. For the right person, the opportunity here is considerable.

For all its present condition, the farmhouse retains much of the character that makes a building like this worth saving. Handsome leaded casement windows, exposed stone and timber, and a number of original internal features survive, including a charming antique transfer printed earthenware WC pan in the blue and white willow style, the kind of authentic period detail that is increasingly rare. These features form part of the building’s special interest and are to be retained and restored sympathetically rather than removed.
