North Street, North Tawton

A very deceptive period house with large rooms and flexible layout, 4 first floor bedrooms, 3 receptions rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, gardens, large garage (The old forge) plus stable storage and utility.

The Old Forge takes its name from the fact that the current adjoining large garage was the former forge and many features are still in place. The house is well located, within the town but out of the hustle and bustle of the town centre yet within easy reach.

The house is at the end of a small terrace but the remaining houses appear to have been built later in a different style so The Old Forge is a real one off. The ground floor has 3 reception rooms, each with a fireplace plus a kitchen/breakfast room at the rear with access to the gardens. On the first floor are 4 generous bedrooms and a bathroom with built in storage throughout the first floor. It really is a spacious house and ideal for a family home. There is uPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating.

Outside are two areas of garden with lawn and seating areas and plenty of storage including sheds and two old stables. The former forge is attached to the side of the house and is now used as a large garage. Although there is only a single door, it is essentially the size of a double garage internally. At the rear of the garage is a utility area with plumbing for washing machine etc.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

NORTH TAWTON is a small town, built alongside the banks of ‘The River Taw’. Settlements in and around the ‘Taw Valley’ experience a haven-like quality, between the often steep-edged hillsides – a contrast to other areas of more open farmland. The town has a selection of shops, a primary school, ‘The Copper Key’ pub and an undeniably pretty square. For more choice, by way of facilities the larger town of Okehampton is only 5 miles up the road – where access to the A30 dual carriageway (a link to the City of Exeter) can also be found. North Tawton, as with many Devon towns has a prime medieval church, with a west spire adorned with oak shingles. The town is also known for its superb creamery. The Taw Valley Creamery (est 1974) produces award -winning cheeses, revered locally and nationally.
