Summary - CODDEN HILL HOUSE 1 BISHOPS TAWTON BARNSTAPLE EX32 0AD
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious period rooms and half‑acre gardens backing onto a stream.
Grade II listed wing of former Victorian vicarage
A striking Grade II listed wing of a former Victorian vicarage, this spacious five-bedroom home combines generous period rooms with a dramatic double‑height kitchen/dining extension and mezzanine craft room. Set within just under half an acre of tiered, landscaped gardens the plot backs onto the Venn stream and offers private terraces, a summerhouse and a jetty/platform at the water’s edge — ideal for outdoor living and wildlife watching.
The house provides versatile family accommodation across four floors: large sitting room and library with original fireplaces, utility and cellarage, study and five bedrooms with two bathrooms. Practical extras include an attached double garage, parking for several cars, greenhouse and useful stores. Many principal windows have secondary glazing and the kitchen extension uses durable Accoya timber double glazing.
Important practical notes: the property is Grade II listed which will constrain alterations and may complicate some works. The site is in a high flood‑risk area because it backs onto the stream; this will affect insurance and any future repair work. EPC rating F and older stone walls (likely uninsulated) mean energy running costs will be higher than modern homes. There is a flying freehold element and neighbour access/right of way for bin movement and maintenance.
This is a characterful, large home for buyers who value historic detail, generous rooms and a substantial, private garden with water frontage — but who are prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities, flood considerations and energy upgrades.
