5 bed terraced house for sale

Castle Street, Tiverton, Devon EX16

A large Grade II listed double fronted town house in central Tiverton, which would benefit from some improvement.

Believed to have been built in the 1840’s, The Manse was likely occupied by the Minister of the nearby Church. Whilst the existing Baptist Church was built at a slightly later date, a Church was on this site from 1607.

This is a large house! Double fronted and set slightly back from the rest of the street, it certainly stands out from the rest and with some improvement works, this has the potential to be a really lovely family home.

The house has a very traditional layout, two rooms wide, and two deep. Two large reception rooms lie to the front of the house on either side of the reception hall, but a more impressive room lies to the rear with French doors opening out to what once would have been a most attractive verandah.

The kitchen is functional and benefits from an adjoining utility room.

From the inner hall, a turning staircase rises to the upper floors, and stairs lead down to a cellar room.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms, the master having an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. This room benefits from a ‘Jack and Jill’ arrangement, i.e. The bathroom can be accessed from the landing and the bedroom. A family bathroom is also found on this floor at the head of the stairs.

On the second floor is a large attic room with a bedroom space, dressing area and a sink – a great space for teenagers!

To the rear of the house is an enclosed garden, walled on two sides, with a cast iron fence at the far end. The garden backs onto the Church carpark, which is not in constant use and as such this is quite a peaceful position.

The property is located on Castle Street, which is one of the town’s most historic streets and as such is a conservation area. The famous town leat runs along the centre making this one of the town’s prettiest streets. Unrestricted parking is available within a few minutes’ walk alongside the park, and annual permits can be bought for the central carpark located close by.

There is a good shopping centre in Tiverton which is a thriving market town and provides excellent educational facilities including Blundells Independent School for boys and girls with its associated Blundells Preparatory School. Also in the town is Petroc College of further education and Tiverton High School. There is also a popular Golf Course, sports complex, and a hospital.
