SELLER INSIGHT

We fell in love with this home from the moment we stepped inside, we were drawn to its warmth and its distinctive character.

We knew that this was the perfect place for our family. With room for five of us, we’ve each had our own space to grow and thrive. And yet, when it’s just the two of us, the house doesn’t feel too big or overwhelming.

This home is perfect for family celebrations, and we’ve had so many wonderful memories here. Christmases spent here have always been so easy and joyous. The large kitchen is perfectly equipped to handle the preparation of a feast, effortlessly accommodating multiple cooks and plenty of culinary activity. The sociable open plan layout means that cooking and socialising can be simultaneously enjoyed. And when everyone is full, the two lounges provide plenty of space for everyone to retreat and relax.

In the summer, we open the bifold doors and our gatherings spill out into the private and easy to manage garden. Whether it’s a BBQ or a lazy morning coffee, we love spending time in this beautiful outdoor space.

We are perfectly located, being just a few steps away from the Old Railway Line walk, which takes us into the picturesque countryside. Within 10 minutes, we can be in the Grand Western Canal country park, where we can walk, cycle, or take our dog for a walk. But perhaps the best part of living here is our proximity to some of Devon’s most beautiful beaches. Within an hour, we can be soaking up the sun on the north or south coast or exploring Exmoor or Dartmoor. We are truly spoiled for choice.

The time has now come for us to move on as our children have grown up and are moving out. We are looking for a new project, but we won’t be going far from Tiverton.”*
