Details
A well-presented two double bedroom semi-detached cottage, tucked away in the sought after village of Bishops Tawton and offering pleasant countryside views along with a fully enclosed, south-facing garden. Ideally suited to first time buyers, this is a comfortable and characterful home with plenty to offer.
As you step through the front door, you’re welcomed into an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. The lounge is a generous, inviting space with a useful under-stairs storage cupboard, a practical touch that’s always handy in a cottage of this size.
Moving through to the kitchen/breakfast room, you’ll find a good range of wall and base units with working surfaces over, an integrated electric oven with gas hob and extractor, and an integrated fridge freezer. There’s further space for appliances, a handy store cupboard and a sink unit, with a door leading out to the rear garden.
Upstairs, two double bedrooms await. The principal bedroom benefits from a vanity wash basin and its own en-suite shower room with shower cubicle and w.c. The family shower room is well-appointed, with a corner shower cubicle, wash basin, w.c. and a fully tiled floor.
To the rear, the fully enclosed south-facing garden is a real sun trap. Mainly paved and low maintenance, it’s an ideal spot for al-fresco dining or simply enjoying a quiet moment in the sunshine.Sitting just south of Barnstaple on the banks of the River Taw, Bishops Tawton is one of North Devon’s most sought after villages. With its mix of thatched cottages, quiet country lanes and a genuine sense of community, it’s a place that strikes a lovely balance between peaceful village life and everyday convenience.
At the heart of the village you’ll find the welcoming Chichester Arms, the historic St John the Baptist Church with its distinctive spire, and a well-regarded primary school, making it a popular choice for families. The Tarka Trail runs close by, offering miles of traffic-free walking and cycling right through to Barnstaple and out towards the coast.
Barnstaple itself is just a few minutes down the road, giving you easy access to supermarkets, independent shops, the Pannier Market and the train station. The A361 link road is on your doorstep too, while the golden sands of Saunton, Croyde, Woolacombe and Putsborough are all within a short drive.
A genuine village feel, beautiful surroundings and town life just minutes away, Bishops Tawton really does offer the best of North Devon living.
