INTRODUCTION Slade Barton is an historic farmhouse that has been sympathetically and extensively renovated and improved over the years to a wonderfully high standard by the owners as their principal home, enhancing the wealth of character with new facilities including kitchen, bathrooms and roof covering.
Plans are now in place for improvement of the next door farm buildings to be removed and replaced with nine high quality homes, village parking and relocated business premises.
SITUATION Located in the heart of the popular village of Payhembury, Slade Barton is one of the principal properties of the village with the village facilities on the doorstep.
Positioned in the gently undulating countryside of East Devon part way between the A30 near Ottery St Mary and M5 at Cullompton to the North West, the village of Payhembury is home to a thriving community, including a wide range of clubs, groups and societies. There is a richly praised primary school, community run shop and the Six Bells Inn.
The small town of Ottery St Mary is within easy reach and is serviced by a range of facilities including the much revered The King's Secondary School.

For travel further afield, Exeter airport offers domestic and international flights to an ever increasing range of destinations.
