Various outbuildings are found at the side of the property including the barn which is very spacious and incorporates a garage at the rear, this has great scope (subject to obtaining all necessary consents) to become further accommodation of some sort. The garden room is a lovely heavily glazed space that has a mature grapevine within, it can be a lovely setting for a work from home office for most of the year or used for relaxing in. The industrial style large corrugated workshop has a steel frame and concrete floor and could be used for a multitude of purposes. Beyond is a useful storage container.

They are well manicured with many areas well suited for relaxing and outside dining. There are many mature trees, bushes and shrubs. At the side and hidden away is a large wildlife pond. The orchard is well stocked with apple (both cookers and eaters) and pear trees. Plenty of room is provided for a cultivated and productive garden if one was inclined. The pasture extends down and forms four paddocks. The far paddock is the largest and can be accessed either across the small stream or from a gateway onto the nearby road. It is suitable for the circulation of livestock as the paddocks are grazed by sheep. The following is a quotation from the home owners: "Barton House has been a delight for our family. The house itself is solid and warm, with a great stove in the cosy snug room, and plenty of light on sunny days. The large kitchen connects really well onto the garden and land too. In the fields, our gorgeous brook and the river beyond have given us all hours of fun, foraging and fly fishing, and we have enjoyed many family BBQ's, camping parties and splash-arounds together. There are so many different spaces surrounding the house when we've needed some peace and quiet, from the fishpond, to the orchard, the vine room, outbuildings, as well as all the garden suntraps. The massive shed has been the ultimate workshop and project space, with plenty of additional storage for agricultural equipment, classic cars, boats or aircraft. We've found Canworthy Water to be a quiet and welcoming hamlet, within easy driving distance from three well-established towns and plenty of schools. And popping ten minutes up the road for a sundowner at Crackington Haven is just the best."
