About this property

Charming village cottage with cosy wood burner, stylish kitchen and bright bathroom. Walk to pub and amenities, enjoy low-maintenance garden, and easy access to Barnstaple, coast and Tarka Trail.

Overview

Situated in the heart of the popular village of Bishops Tawton, just a short walk from the village pub, The Chichester Arms, this delightful 200-year-old character cottage blends period charm with modern convenience. Owned since 2006, the property has been comprehensively refurbished to include re-rendering, re-roofing, re-wiring, re-plumbing, damp-proof treatment and the installation of a gas boiler approximately ten years ago, resulting in a home that is both charming and practical.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In North Devon, 2026/27 bills run from £1,761 a year in band A to £5,284 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across North Devon, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
