A Grade II listed, double fronted, period townhouse, recently updated and offering spacious, well-appointed accommodation in the centre of this popular Duchy town, a short drive or bus ride from Exeter. Quick access to the M5 and Tiverton Parkway Station, ideal for commuting.

This late Georgian property, dating back to the 1830's, is principally built of cob upon stone, with a more recent, 1950's, brick built, two storey extension to the rear elevation. Unfortunately, in 2019, the house had a fire, but thereafter, was sympathetically restored in line with the Grade II listing with works including a new roof, a new, fully insulated and boarded loft, a new gas boiler, rewiring, a refitted kitchen, newly plastered walls and ceilings, a replacement floor with antique boards in bedroom 3, and new decoration throughout. As a result, the house is in excellent order and retains some character features, enhancing its charm.

The two generous reception rooms are each fitted with a wood burner, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere and augmenting the gas central heating, with radiators throughout. The kitchen, to the rear of the house, looks out over a gravel yard towards the garden and is a bright room with a sunny aspect. It is fitted in a classic oak style, with space for appliances and an integral freezer is located to one side. A door leads outside.

Upstairs, there are three large double bedrooms, the two end rooms with original fireplaces, one currently boarded over in bedroom 2, and the middle room with a large walk in wardrobe. From the landing, there is access to the bathroom, part-tiled with an electric shower over the bath, a separate WC and an airing cupboard.

A short step from the rear of the house, there is a lovely garden with well established trees and shrubs, a garden shed and a greenhouse surrounded by several raised beds and spacious terraced steps. At the top of the garden, in addition to a log shed and an open lean-to for bicycles or garden furniture, there is a large summerhouse or studio, with mains power connected. It also has a wood burner, making it suitable for all year-round use, and enjoys the sunny, south-westerly aspect and views across the town and hilltops beyond. The garden is a haven for any keen gardener or someone just wishing to lose themselves for an afternoon, relax or entertain, for which purpose there is a delightful seating area beneath a honeysuckle clad arch, with a discrete power point for a kettle or barbecue grill.

Council Tax: Band D
Local Authority: Mid Devon District Council.

Agent's note: to the left of the property, double doors give access to a historic 'carriageway', which leads to the rear garden. The neighbouring property, number 11, has a right to vehicular and pedestrian access through the carriageway. A path along the lower edge of the garden gives the owner of number 11 pedestrian access to their garden, which lies beyond.
