Situated in the heart of this lovely Devon town, The Holmesis a wonderful period house dating back to 1733, making it one of the first‘stately’ homes in the area and at the time included the servants quarters(Which is now the neighbouring property)! Since then North Tawton has growninto the town we know today, unrecognisable from nearly 300 years ago I’m sure!It has been the home to the current owner for nearly 30 years, but it is nowtime to move on and we hope it will be passed into the hands of someone whowill bring it in to the 21st century.
The imposing cob and stones built house has 3 largereception rooms, with the dining room being particularly impressive with itshuge bay window and would be large enough for a snooker table if desired.There’s also a kitchen diner & downstairs cloakroom, plus 2 staircases tothe first floor, which in turn includes 5 double bedrooms, a bathroom andseparate cloakroom. There’s a further staircase to the 2nd floorwhich at present is a self-contained 1 bedroom flat including a kitchen area,but could provide 2 further bedrooms and a bathroom if preferred.
The rear garden is a particular surprise, it is wonderfullypeaceful, south facing and stretches back over 144ft (44m), including afantastic stretch of lawn with wonderful plants, flowers and trees intertwined,there’s also decked and stone chipped seating areas and a chicken run. Attachedto the kitchen is a barn for storage and currently doubling as a utility too.Out front there are 2 parking spaces (further spaces could be created, subjectto permissions as the hedge falls under a conservation area) and imposing stoneand slate steps up to the front floor.
