Approximately 15 years ago, this small development of village
houses was completed by the well regarded local builders RM Peters
& Son. The design brief was for the properties to fit into this
pretty Devon village, without spoiling the street scene and it
certainly delivered. A mix of stone and render, the houses have a
cottage style, perfect for the setting and this gives the
opportunity for a character home with the comfort and convenience
of a modern property. Since it was built, the current owners have
further improved it to make it a comfortable, really well presented
home that is sure to appeal to many buyers. Although the village
isnt on mains gas, there is a large LPG tank for Corner Close with
each house being separately metered no ordering, youre billed for
what you use .
The stone faade is welcoming and once inside, the cottage feel
continues with panelling to the hall, stairs and landing. The
living room is a great size and double doors lead through the
kitchen diner. The kitchen has been replaced and is a stylish,
spacious and sociable space with plenty of room for a large table
and chairs. Double doors open onto the rear garden which links well
to the heart of this home. There is an understairs storage cupboard
and a door through to a good sized utility room with another door
to outside. Its worth noting that the plumbing is still in place
for a WC in this room was formerly a utility and separate WC so it
could be reinstated by a new owner if it was preferred. On the
first floor are 3 bedrooms with the master having an ensuite shower
room and the family bathroom can be shared by the other 2.
Outside at the front is a pretty front area with attractive
walling and room for recycling bins etc, ideal for pots for bursts
of colour. Through the access to the side is the parking area with
this property having 1 space plus freely available and unrestricted
parking on the roads nearby. A gate leads to the rear garden which
has modern slatted fencing and is a private, level and easy to
maintain rear garden which is currently paved but was previously
lawned. Steps lead up to the rear access doors to the house and
there is lighting and power in the garden too.
Agents note There is a monthly charge of £10 towards the upkeep of
the communal access and maintenance of the gas storage area, used
by these properties. This is subject to change but has been this
amount for a few years.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

MORCHARD BISHOPis a village and civil parish
set in the sumptuous hills and valleys of Mid Devon, halfway
between the North and South of the County, 7 miles west of Crediton
and 14 miles from the regional capital, Exeter. The showpiece is
the spectacular 16thCentury Church of St Mary‘s, one of two
churches in the village. This small but thriving community, with a
population of just under 1000 has a primary school, doctor‘s
surgery and local shops. Those who lead an active lifestyle can
take advantage of the football and outdoor tennis clubs as well as
enjoying a game of bowls on the Green. At the centre is the
friendly London Inn, loved for its generous servings of delicious,
locally sourced food. Dating back 400 years, this traditional pub
was once a stop for passing coaches when the main road from Exeter
ran through the village. Today, the nearby railway station at
Morchard Road carries passengers from Exeter to Barnstaple along
the scenic Tarka Line. Dartmoor and Exmoor, areas of outstanding
natural beauty are within 30 minutes‘ drive.
