Description

"

Nestled at the end of the village, Wood Lane offers a peaceful location, yet remains close to the heart of the village and nearby walks. Morchard Bishop, one of the larger villages in Mid Devon, boasts a fantastic community spirit, a local shop, regular events, and a well regarded pub serving delicious food. The area is well connected with a bus service running five times a day to Crediton and Exeter, and nearby stations on the Tarka Line offer easy access to Crediton, Exeter, and Barnstaple via rail. The cottage itself is Grade II listed, thatched and full of character.

Having lived here for nearly 40 years, the current owners have enjoyed the peace and quiet of this tucked away home. With origins as far back as the 1700 s, the history is clear to see. It s a very pretty home and the roof was rethatched about 3 years ago providing plenty of life ahead. Throughout, the character is evident with exposed timbers, interesting nooks and a wonderful fireplace to the living room. As it s an old cottage, it probably isn t suitable for tall people with some ceilings and doorways being lower than that of a modern house, but this just adds to the character. The layout offers a kitchen breakfast room with solid worktops and built in storage, a Rayburn providing heat and cooking and an electric cooker for the summer months. There s a cosy living room with wood burner and a ground floor family bathroom. On the first floor are the 2 double bedrooms with built in storage and a charming landing area.

Outside, the pretty front garden sets it back from the private lane only passing traffic is that of the handful of neighbours beyond and leads around to the side where it opens into a surprising side rear garden. Complete with a lovely large greenhouse, summer house and a covered seating area, there s plenty of outside space to enjoy. There s areas of lawn and paving too to choose your spot for alfresco dining. Just a short walk away, on Wood Lane is a garage which is included in the sale. The garage is in need of a little TLC but provides an excellent footprint for an improved garage or storage.

Subject to situation, the cottage maybe sold with no chain ask the agents for clarification.

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.
