About this property
This big detached house is situated on the banks of the canal in Halberton at the end of a no through lane. With its private waterside setting, it is a fabulous place to relax and watch the world go by on the water and towpath. From the porch, head through to the oak-fitted kitchen with its little breakfast table for morning coffee, a well equipped room for preparing family meals to enjoy in the dining room whilst you observe the canal life. For sitting comfortably, you have a choice of the sitting room with its glass door to slide open to the garden, or the conservatory with comfy seats. For anyone who doesn't want to tackle the stairs there is one ground floor twin bedroom and a bathroom, or head upstairs to four more bedrooms with some lovely views of the canal and the Blackdown Hills. The children will love the games room which doubles as an optional bedroom for alternative sleeping. The garden is private with lawns, a terrace, summer house and gate to a charming seating area with picnic benches beside the towpath. Needless to say, a barge trip on the Grand Western Canal is a must, or why not bring your own boats to launch at Sampford Peverell and moor them outside the house? You can fish outside with a licence and golf and boat, canoe and bicycle hire are available locally. North and south coasts make easy day trips, or explore Exmoor and Somerset from this central location. Valley House is a smashing house for watching life float by or touring the area.
Tiverton is set on the banks of the Great Western Canal in central mid Devon. A town rich with history and heritage with a thriving town centre hosting a popular farmers market every third Wednesday.

It was great having enough chairs for everyone in the living room, as well as the big dining table. Lots of space outside would be super in better weather. We enjoyed bird watching from the sun lounge and canal walks. I liked the radio on when we arrived and the brownies and milk were appreciated. A really friendly , clean house.

The location is spectacular right beside the canal. You can walk for miles both ways. Easy train link into Exeter too. Can't recommend Valley House enough. Thank you Sophie from us all.
