Morchard Bishop is one of the larger Mid Devon villages and
boasts a great pub, shop and a thriving community. Theres a regular
bus service too plus nearby train stops on the Tarka line so its a
well connected village with a truly Devon feel.
This property can be found just outside the village, located on a
quiet single track country lane which is walkable to the village
and amenities. Its not been on the market in 30 years so its a
great opportunity to make a wonderful home for a new buyer. Theres
plenty of room inside and out as it sits in a half acre plot which
is private and the gardens are full of beautiful plants and trees,
plus it backs onto open countryside so there are views in most
directions from many windows.
Internally, the house has a spacious layout, a cosy sitting room
with inglenook fireplace is ideal for those colder winter nights
whilst the light garden room with doors out onto the garden
provides a wonderful flexible space for entertaining or hobbies. It
would make an ideal studio or home office too. Central in the house
is a dining room, again with a large fireplace and the kitchen is
well fitted and has the benefit of a utility room which also acts
as a rear porch, as is often the case, this door to the utility
tends to be the day to day entrance. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and a
family bathroom. Although some may prefer to update the d©cor and
fittings, the house has been very well maintained both inside and
out. Theres oil fired central heating and double glazing.
Outside, the front garden gives a buffer to the country lane and
leads to the official front door. To the side is a small occasional
gated parking space and a pathway to the side leads to the main
gardens, in total the plot is half an acre. Its a wonderful space,
well planted and with various areas of lawn, pond, utility space
and cleverly zoned to add to the feeling of space and enjoyment.
Theres a couple of sheds and a greenhouse too. A lane runs between
Redhill and the lower neighbour and this provides vehicle access
for both properties in order to reach their respective parking
garages.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

MORCHARD BISHOP is 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 16th
Century 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,
netball 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.
