2 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Overview
Tucked away in the heart of Bishops Tawton, just a short stroll from the village pub (The Chichester Arms) and local amenities, this delightful 200-year-old character cottage offers the perfect blend of period charm and modern convenience. Having been in the same ownership since 2006, the property has undergone extensive refurbishment and presents as a stylish yet practical home.

Refurbishment Works
The cottage has benefitted from comprehensive works including re-rendering, re-roofing, re-wiring, re-plumbing, damp-proof treatment, and the installation of a gas boiler approximately 10 years ago. These improvements ensure the home is ready to enjoy immediately with peace of mind.

Accommodation
On the ground floor, the welcoming sitting room features a striking fireplace with wood-burning stove, a floating timber mantle and slate-tiled flooring which flows through to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is equipped with a comprehensive range of solid oak frontage units topped with black granite work surfaces, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style.
The spacious ground floor bathroom includes a modern three-piece suite and benefits from two Velux roof lights, flooding the space with natural light.
Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, each with character features.

Outside
Immediately opposite the cottage is a charming, low-maintenance block-paved garden—ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

Lifestyle & Location
The property has, in the past, operated successfully as a lucrative holiday let, but equally suits those seeking a comfortable permanent home. Bishops Tawton itself is a friendly and historic village, well placed for Barnstaple, the Tarka Trail, and the North Devon coast with its beaches, golf courses and countryside walks.
