Property description
A unique opportunity to acquire an absolutely stunning Grade II listed property that has recently been completely refurbished to offer characterful accommodation with private gardens, parking and all situated in a semi rural location within a short walk of North Tawton and its amenities.
General
Gingerpop Cottage is a traditional Devon Cottage full or character and charm occupying an idyllic position on the edge of North Tawton whilst still being within a walking distance of amenities. The property has just undergone a major refurbishment with works including a new thatch roof and new chimney stack, new slate roof, complete rewire, all new plumbing, kitchen, bathroom and carpets. The current owners have successfully renovated this property to a high level whilst managing to retain the period features including exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. Unusually for this style of property it enjoys ample parking to the side and a tranquil rear garden with a raised area of decking that has views over neighbouring countryside.The \"book of North Tawton\" published by the Halsgrove Press shows Ginger Pop Cottage to have been used in the late 19th century by a Mr Lewis Day as part of a mineral water bottling enterprise, hence its name. The cottage, however, is much older and is believed to date from the 17th century as we understand from the vendors that the date of 1635 is referred to in early copies of the deeds that come with the property.
