Set on about 1.25 acres in the attractive Devon village of Ideford, this detached three-bedroom house combines generous living space with extensive outside land: mature gardens, terraces, orchard, paddock and a small area of deciduous woodland. Inside, roomy reception areas include a galleried hall, sitting room with log burner, separate study, dining room and a large kitchen/breakfast room. The principal bedroom has an ensuite and there is a four-piece family bathroom. Practical additions include a double garage, storeroom and driveway parking.
The plot and outlook are the primary strengths: private, elevated countryside views, several formal entertaining terraces and useful outbuildings for garden and hobby use. The house is partly energy‑equipped with photovoltaic panels and a storage battery, and there is an LPG tank serving central heating. These features, together with the huge plot, make the property equally appealing to families wanting outdoor space or buyers seeking small‑scale equestrian, allotment or hobby land in an accessible rural location.
Buyers should note a few practical points. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area, which may affect remote working. The property dates from the 1950s/60s and the cavity walls are shown as having no insulation (assumed), so upgrading thermal performance could be advisable; the EPC rating is D. Heating arrangements reference both electric storage heaters and LPG central heating, and some modernisation or energy efficiency improvements may be wanted to reduce running costs.
In short, Towns End will suit someone prioritising a large, private garden and paddock with village life and quick road links nearby, and who is prepared to invest modestly in energy upgrades and modernisation to fully realise the home’s potential.
