Rare canal-front four-bedroom home with character, scope to modernise and no onward chain.
Canal-front position with uninterrupted waterside and countryside views
Set directly on the banks of the Great Western Canal, this former village post office has been sympathetically converted into a spacious four-bedroom end-of-terrace home. Period details such as a feature fireplace, original parquet flooring and a unique round window give the house strong character while generous reception rooms create flexible family living. The private, low-maintenance courtyard garden opens onto uninterrupted waterside and countryside views — a rare setting in Sampford Peverell.
The layout works well for families: a split-level living room with French doors to the garden, a separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, and four bedrooms plus a family bathroom upstairs. The principal bedroom looks across the canal and a large second bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe. Practical updates are mostly in place, including UPVC double glazing and air-source heating with radiators and underfloor zones.
Importantly, the property is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, but it does require updating and modernisation throughout — the bathroom, finishes and some fixtures will benefit from refurbishment to suit modern tastes. The garage/store and storage spaces add practical value, and fast broadband and strong transport links (Tiverton Parkway, M5, Exeter airport) make this a convenient country-home choice.
Buyers should note a higher local crime statistic and the plot is small and courtyard-style, so this is not a large gardened estate. The house presents a clear opportunity for someone seeking a character waterside home they can refresh and personalise, rather than a move-in-finish property. EPC rating D.
