Summary - DEVONSHIRE HOUSE FLAT 5 ESSINGTON NORTH TAWTON EX20 2EX
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious upside‑down family home on the village edge with vaulted living and private garden.
Four bedrooms with flexible fourth bedroom or home office
Set on the edge of North Tawton, this four-bedroom semi‑detached home blends original character with contemporary living across an inventive upside‑down layout. The upper floor is the heart of the house: a vaulted, open‑plan kitchen–diner with stylish fittings and an impressive vaulted sitting room linked by an exposed stone arch. Large windows and high ceilings create bright, sociable living spaces with countryside views.
The lower level houses three well‑proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom; the principal bedroom benefits from a walk‑in wardrobe. A fourth room on the upper level works well as a guest bedroom, study or home office, offering flexible living for families, multigenerational households or remote workers.
Outside there’s a private, well‑designed garden laid out over two levels — a patio and a raised lawn — accessed directly from the kitchen, ideal for outdoor dining and family use. Practical details include double glazing (installed post‑2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, cavity walls and a modestly generous floor area of around 1,787 sq ft.
Notable points to consider: the home has a single family bathroom which may not suit larger households without adaptation, and the layout is non‑standard (upside‑down), which some buyers may need to experience in person to appreciate. Constructed in the late 20th century, the property successfully combines exposed stone and timber with modern finishes, but buyers seeking a new build specification should expect room for cosmetic updating rather than a turnkey luxury fit-out.
