I think it's had an upgrade to Tawstock Castle, it was plain old Tawstock Tower back then: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2003/sep/21/observercashsection.theobserver6Looking at sales history for Tawstock Tower you get:
Sales history
Sold prices provided by Land Registry- Jul 2007 Sold £1,106,000
- Jul 2006 Sold £650,000
- Feb 2000 Sold £100,000
So goodness knows what they're asking this time. It's obviously not paying its way as a holiday let (the towels are a dead giveaway, even without Googling it to check!)I love the fact that the Grauniad, true to its tradition, can't even spell Barnstaple.The land seems to have shrunk since those days; it's either all the rain they get there, or maybe folks are more able to measure it themselves now with the Google app.

Even when it's not something a lot of people would choose to buy, me included, when someone
wholeheartedly but tastefully embraces a certain style and follows it through, it's hard not to be impressed.3 -
