LOCATION
Set amidst the rolling hills of Mid Devon, Tiverton is a historic market town that blends rural charm with excellent connectivity. The town is steeped in heritage, with the grand 17th-century Tiverton Castle and the elegant architecture of Blundell’s School offering a glimpse into its storied past. A thriving community, Tiverton boasts a bustling pannier market, independent shops, and a selection of fine eateries and traditional pubs. It also includes supermarkets, including an M&S, banks, a leisure centre, and a golf course.
The town also offers excellent educational opportunities, including secondary schools and the well renowned Blundell’s School, for which this property falls within the reduced-fee catchment area and is walking distance away, alongside scenic canal walks.
For those seeking a tranquil yet well-connected lifestyle, Tiverton is ideally positioned. The nearby Tiverton Parkway Station provides direct rail services to Exeter, Bristol, and London Paddington (just under 2 hours), making it a superb base for commuters and weekenders alike. The A361 North Devon Link Road offers easy access to the stunning sandy beaches of North Devon, while the M5 motorway connects to Exeter and the wider national motorway network.
THE PROPERTY
The beautiful Tythe House is a striking Grade II listed home, dating from around 1838, offering a rare blend of architectural heritage and contemporary refinement. The current owners have undertaken a comprehensive restoration, using traditional techniques and materials to preserve the property’s historic integrity whilst also creating an exception home for family life and entertaining.
Spanning over 3,500 sq ft, the accommodation is both generous and flexible, ideal for modern family living. The main house comprises six bedrooms, including a self-contained one bedroom annexe with independent access - perfect for guests, extended family, or as a successful holiday let.
The ground floor features three elegant reception rooms, each with period detailing and log-burning stoves, offering space for entertaining and relaxation. The open-plan kitchen/ dining room is clearly the heart of the home and is a room of particular interest, with dual-aspect sash windows, bespoke concrete surfaces, an Aga, and ample room for informal dining.
A utility room which provides access into the annexe and cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three double bedrooms, all with built-in storage. The principal suite enjoys garden views and a stylish en suite with underfloor heating. A family bathroom with a claw-foot bath and walk-in shower serves the remaining rooms. The second floor has been thoughtfully converted to provide two further bedrooms with eaves storage and an impressive second family bathroom.
ANNEXE
Positioned at the front of the property with its own entrance via a pretty cobbled courtyard, the annexe has been recently refurbished and successfully operated creating a healthy income. It includes a fitted kitchen, sitting room, and double bedroom with its own en suite, all finished with herringbone hardwood flooring. The kitchen features sleek gloss cabinetry, polished concrete worktops, and integrated appliances. Double doors from both the bedroom and reception room open onto the courtyard, creating its own outdoor space.
OUTSIDE
The property is orientated to follow the sun’s path, with the front courtyard enjoying morning light and the rear garden bathed in evening sun. The landscaped gardens offer a peaceful retreat, with a paved terrace ideal for alfresco dining, manicured lawns, and mature planting. A double garage provides secure parking and storage. To the rear, a separate parcel of land benefits from a positive pre app for a single-storey studio, offering scope for further development - whether as a home office, creative space, or additional accommodation.
