Description

Set within the heart of North Tawton, this exceptional semi-detached home forms part of the Grade II Listed Essington House, a distinguished early 19th-century former vicarage. Boasting over 3,750 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, it combines the elegance and charm of its period origins with the practicality and comfort required for modern family living, creating a residence that is both inviting and sophisticated.

The exterior of the property is striking, with traditional stone and rendered elevations, classic sash windows, and refined period detailing that immediately convey a sense of history and character. Step inside and you are greeted by interiors that are rich in period features, including decorative cornicing, original fireplaces, and warm wooden flooring, all of which enhance the welcoming atmosphere throughout the home.

The ground floor is designed for both comfort and versatility. A sitting room provides a cosy space to relax in front of an open fireplace, while the family dining room, complete with slate flooring and built-in storage, is ideal for entertaining or daily family meals. A study offers a quiet retreat or flexible workspace, catering to modern needs. The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with bespoke wooden storage units at base and wall level, integrated appliances, and a space for a breakfast table, making it perfect for informal dining and family gatherings alike.

Upstairs, the first floor houses two generously sized bedrooms, including the principal suite, which features a dressing room and en suite shower room, complemented by a family bathroom. The second floor provides four additional double bedrooms and a shower room, offering ample accommodation for a large family or visiting guests, with the flexibility to adapt to changing needs over time.

Externally, the property benefits from a block-paved driveway, providing parking for several vehicles, and access to a handy storage shed. The mature rear garden is a true highlight, featuring a paved terrace for dining, a split-level lawn, and colourful border beds interspersed with established trees, creating a peaceful and private outdoor retreat.

Located in the charming market town of North Tawton, the home offers convenient access to local shops, cafés, restaurants, and essential amenities, all within walking distance. The property seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern practicality, making it a rare and highly desirable family home in a sought-after location.

The town features a primary school, health centre, veterinary surgery, community centre, and a weekly market, along with a strong community spirit and events like the arts festival and carnival.
