Burton Hall • nortH tawton • EX20 2DQ

An incredible detached mansion house to over 6,000 square foot with a fascinating history,
gardens & grounds to about 1.4 acres enjoying spectacular Dartmoor views. Full of high
quality character features – a truly amazing property that would not look out of place
on a film set!
Burton Hall is an incredible detached mid Victorian
Grade II listed mansion house superbly located on the
extreme outskirts of north tawton enjoying the most
spectacular views of the Dartmoor hills. the house has
a fascinating & intriguing history, having been originally
built in norway, dismantled in about 1870 by John
Fulford (a wealthy local wool merchant) and shipped
over to England in sections. It was then reconstructed
on its present site, and is built entirely of reputedly
fireproof timber on a massive granite plinth.
the 9 bedroomed accommodation is extremely
capacious, and extends to over 6000 square foot
(plus a large basement). It is currently arranged
to include 2 internal annexes (one on the ground floor
and the other to the first floor), although there is so
much flexibility in possible layouts that this could easily
be altered around to suit. there is also a further
detached bungalow annexe set in the grounds with
its own private gardens.
Burton Hall is virtually completely original, retaining
most of its cladding and hand-painted art nouveau
decoration. Character features include fretted ceiling
roses and cornices, original door furniture and a wide
sweeping staircase. the walls are lined with tongue and
groove planks and some rooms have elaborate cusped
arcading below cornice and dado levels. to the front of
the house is a wide Verandah with central steps leading
down to a large semi-circular lawned garden. the main
entrance has a large central gabled porch with elaborate
fretwork and carved decoration.
the property is set in grounds believed extend to about
1.4 acres in all, with a sweeping private driveway
leading to spacious parking areas for many vehicles,
which really sets the property off beautifully. there are
areas of lawn, numerous timber outbuildings (including
2 garage buildings), many mature trees, hedging, and
well stocked flower beds, children’s play area etc.
In the opinion of the agents, there could be a
possibility of obtaining residential planning permission
within the grounds of the house for an addition dwelling
as the property falls within the settlement boundary
of north tawton. this, naturally, would be subject to
the necessary permissions.
Burton Hall is one of the most intriguing and fascinating
properties that the agent has seen in many years, and is
on the open market for the first time since 1985. It has
incredible presence and most certainly wouldn’t look
out of place on a film set! Definitely one to go and view!
NORTH TAWTON is a pleasant Mid Devon town. It has a
selection of shops, primary school, and old town square.

12 and whiddon Down 6 miles, from which there is a
