The Warren is being offered for sale with no onward chain after 55 years in the same family. It is a detached period house with traditional styling and a wealth of original and historical character, occupying a sought-after position in Tiverton, just 150m from the start of the Grand Western Canal and within easy reach of the surrounding countryside. The property benefits from a layout which is very versatile, and has adapted for the needs of a family with young children, then teenagers, and finally a couple in their later stages of life. It offers scope for modernisation and the potential to create ancillary accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

A central family room with areas for sitting and dining adjoins the kitchen, which has fitted units, integrated appliances and a cast-iron Rayburn range. A generous pantry and utility room provide additional storage and space for household appliances, while a shower room completes the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the landing leads to a south-facing balcony and very versatile accommodation. There are five double bedrooms and a room which has been used as a study and a sitting room, which with a bedroom and shower-room has provided separate accommodation. This room also has the potential to create a principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite. There is a family bathroom with an over-bath shower, and a separate WC.

A secondary staircase off the utility room offers the opportunity for ancillary accommodation to be created if desired.
