4 bed terraced house to rent

Essington, North Tawton EX20

Tucked away in a quiet spot within the historic Devonshire House – an impressive Gothic-style period building right in the heart of North Tawton – this deceptively spacious four-bedroom home offers flexible living over three floors, countryside views, private parking, and a beautifully enclosed garden. It’s just a short stroll from North Tawton’s town centre, with its handy selection of shops, post office, pharmacy, vets, doctors, pubs, and the lovely bowling green nearby. It’s a great spot for access to Okehampton, Crediton and Exeter, with the A30, Dartmoor, and both north and south coasts within easy reach.

Inside you’ll find a lovely mix of period charm and modern living. The ground floor offers a generous open-plan kitchen/living space with plenty of units, a central island, and a gas stove to keep things cosy. There’s also a larder, WC/utility room, and a conservatory that opens out onto the garden, making an excellent front porch and additional space. The first floor provides two double bedrooms, a good-sized single, plus the family bathroom, while the top floor is home to a light-filled loft-converted double bedroom which could equally be used as a home office or additional reception room. This attractive home is double glazed, mains gas centrally heated, and presented in good order throughout.

Outside, the enclosed cottage garden to the front is low-maintenance and full of charm, with a mix of decking, patio, and mature flower beds – plus a pergola that’s perfect for al fresco dining while enjoying those countryside views. There are two garden sheds for storage, and your own allocated parking space just outside the garden gate (within the adjacent doctors' surgery car park).

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, two dentists, a doctors’ surgery, primary school, The Fountain, The White Hart and Copper Key pubs and an undeniably pretty square. The town also boasts a large park with play areas and pump track. 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.
