This period semi‑detached cottage combines rustic character with versatile family living on a large village plot. Exposed beams, wood‑burning stoves and a vaulted principal bedroom give the house genuine charm, while a bright conservatory and modern country kitchen provide practical everyday space. A newly built, fully fitted one‑bed annexe offers independent accommodation ideal for a dependent relative or rental income.
The layout suits family life: sitting room, snug, study/bedroom four and conservatory on the ground floor, with three first‑floor bedrooms and a family bathroom above. Bedroom one benefits from a vaulted ceiling and ensuite; there is ladder access to useful attic storage. Gas central heating and mains services are in place, though the EPC rating is not recorded.
Key practical points to consider: the property sits in a medium flood‑risk area and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect remote working or streaming. The house presents opportunities for further updating in places to enhance value and energy efficiency. Parking is strong — off‑road space for at least four cars — and the large gardens to front and rear increase outdoor amenity and privacy.
Set in tranquil Bishops Tawton, the cottage offers village life with easy access to Barnstaple, the Tarka Trail and nearby coast and countryside. This home will appeal to families seeking character, space and multi‑generational flexibility, and to buyers willing to carry out selective improvements to personalise the finish.
