LOCATION
Set amidst the rolling hills of Mid Devon, Tiverton is a historic market town that blends rural charm with excellent connectivity. The town is steeped in heritage, with the grand
17th-century Tiverton Castle and the elegant architecture of Blundell’s School offering a glimpse into its storied past. A thriving community, Tiverton boasts a bustling pannier
market, independent shops, and a selection of fine eateries and traditional pubs. It also includes supermarkets, including an M&S, banks, a leisure centre, and a golf course. The town also offers excellent educational opportunities, including secondary schools and the well renowned Blundell’s School, for which
this property falls within the reduced-fee catchment area.

For those seeking a tranquil yet well-connected lifestyle, Tiverton is ideally positioned. The nearby Tiverton Parkway Station provides direct rail services to Exeter (approx. 20 minutes), Bristol (approx. 1 hour), and London Paddington
(approx. 2 hours), making it a superb base for commuters and weekenders alike. The A361 North Devon Link Road offers easy access to the stunning sandy beaches of North Devon, while the M5 motorway connects to Exeter and the wider national motorway network.

Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, the area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with the Grand Western Canal, Exmoor National Park, and the Tarka Trail all within easy reach. Exmoor National Park, located just to the north offers a wealth
of outdoor opportunities. Spanning over 260 square miles, the park is renowned for its dramatic moorland, wooded valleys, and rugged coastline. It’s a haven for walkers, cyclists, and
nature lovers, with abundant wildlife and charming villages to explore.

THE PROPERTY
Nestled on the bank of the River Lowman, this bespoke period property offers a tranquil retreat right in the heart of Tiverton. Riverside House is a beautifully restored Grade II listed
Georgian townhouse. It is a rare gem, offering over 3,400 sq ft of elegant and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. Meticulously renovated by the current owner, the property seamlessly blends period charm with modern refinement. Formally a Hotel, it has been home to writers, artists and artisans through history, and even hosted Prime Minister Palmerston as a regular visitor c1850. Backing
onto Old Blundells School, featured in Lorna Doone, it is a truly unique heritage home. Riverside House is truly a beautiful, creative, restful and unique home that has so much
to offer.

At the heart of the home is a gorgeous kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams, creating a striking yet welcoming space ideal for family life and entertaining. There is ample space for a generous kitchen table alongside a seating area which seamlessly opens to the south facing, river fronting garden terrace via bi-folding doors. Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a pantry which is adjacent to the kitchen, two well-proportioned and striking reception rooms, each rich in character including a moulded ceiling and feature fireplaces, a generous garden room, again with access to the garden, a cloakroom and a very
clever and secret workshop.

The impressive stairs rise to the first-floor landing where there is a formal double aspect sitting room which is flooded with natural light and has original wooden floors, adjacent is a shower room which could mean the room could be the principal suite if desired.

There are two further double bedrooms and a well thought out dressing room.

The second floor consists of three further bedrooms and a family shower room. Perhaps one of the most noteworthy rooms is the pretty bedroom which a feature free standing bath. There is plenty of eaves storage on this floor providing ample storage space.

OUTSIDE
Outside, the landscaped south facing garden is delightful and relatively private for its town centre location. The sound of the babbling water is delightful and can be enjoyed by the
sun terrace directly outside the property where there is plenty of space for alfresco dining, or the mature garden with its established borders.

Agents note – Available by separate negotiation, is the adjacent commercial property alongside a 1 bed apartment above, which is currently let on an AST.
