4 Situation Mockham Barton is about a mile north outside of Brayford in North Devon. The village has a primary school and a thriving community with a pub and shop. It is a short drive via the A399 to the outskirts of Barnstaple. Barnstaple is the regional centre of North Devon and offers a good range of facilities and amenities including sports centre, out of town and town centre shops, regional hospital, businesses and indoor Pannier Market. It lies at the head of the tidal Taw Estuary which gives way at its mouth to some of the best beaches (Croyde, Putsborough and Saunton Sands) in the west country. Woody Bay at Martinhoe in the Exmoor National Park is also a stunning beach which is about 13 miles away. Barnstaple also hosts the Tarka Trail cycle track which follows the path of the old railway track inland as far as Torrington and Merton. To the North of Mockham Barton the undulating lowland landscape quickly gives way to the open moorland of Exmoor, home to a myriad of opportunities for outdoor recreation including field sports, walking and riding. Introduction Mockham Barton is a 17th century farmhouse mentioned in the Domesday book and was formerly known as Mogescome. Today Mockham Barton provides an elegant family home with well proportioned rooms that are full of interesting architectural features. The house currently provides 6 spacious double bedrooms and a 7th single bedroom and has wonderful views over its own gardens, land and traditional buildings which are laid out in a courtyard setting. A particular feature of the farm house is the ability to extend the property into the adjoining traditional stone building. Planning consent has been granted to convert this building into two floors of residential space. In addition there are several other traditional stone buildings surrounding the farm house that may provide further alternative uses subject to the necessary planning consent.
