Somewhat over used phrases, often used by estate agents are
Deceptively Spacious or Its a tardis, what these phrases actually
mean is you should look beyond the faade to see whats on offer.
This is certainly the case here in Bow. Set in the centre of this
Mid Devon village with a primary school, shop, pub, garden centre,
caf© and public transport links, its a fantastic Grade II family
home with plenty of character, space and a very special, large
garden to the rear. If you like your home to be unique, then youre
going to like this one. That said, its a traditional linear layout
running from front to back and worth noting is that the thatch only
forms about 50% of the roof so from a maintenance and insurance
point of view, this is good news.
Access is gained via the gated entrance to the front which opens
into a covered passage, ideal for storage of outdoor equipment or
even motor bikes etc. This passageway is owned by 1 Hildens and
there are no additional rights of way for anyone else. The main
door is on the side of the house and opens into the cosy sitting
room with its deep window seat and wood burning stove, its a
comforting room with exposed timbers and shelving with a large
cupboard. The kitchen dining room has a brighter, lighter feel with
quarry tiled flooring and hand made oak units, with a built in
dishwasher and being in keeping with the style of the cottage.
Theres a solid fuel Rayburn which heats the hot water and can be
used to cook on so helpful with electricity costs there is also an
immersion for summer use back up and it also heats the towel rail
and radiators on the first floor. Beyond the kitchen is a stunning
timber framed garden room with clear glass roof and large picture
windows looking over the initial part of the garden. Theres also a
WC and wet room to give an extra facility to the ground floor. From
the kitchen, stairs lead to the first floor with 3 double bedrooms,
full of character and with vaulted ceilings adding to the volume
and light in each room. Theres a very useful study area to the
landing and the family bathroom.
Immediately to the rear of the garden room and passageway,
theres a private courtyard garden, ideal for entertaining being
close to the house and kitchen etc. A two storey detached barn
offers excellent storage and hobby space over both floors and has
potential to be further improved and suited to a range of uses stp
. A pathway leads from the courtyard into the main garden which is
very large and has been left somewhat to nature. Theres plenty of
room for growing your own produce or having a few animals and
pathways have been created through. The garden extends all the way
to the bottom where the small stream marks the boundary. Within the
garden are some timber outbuildings for storage potting etc. The
garden is a real feature of the property and is a blank canvass for
someone to get hold of and enjoy.
