Property description

A rare opportunity – a 4 or 5 bedroomed thatched cottage in the heart of the village, flexible accommodation, front and rear gardens and parking/garage to the rear!

DESCRIPTION Located in the heart of the village, this spacious 4 or 5 bedroomed family home is ideally situated for village life. No.2 is one of properties that makes up the longest row of thatched cottages in Devon (some say the whole of the West Country) and due to this has Grade II listed status.

The accommodation is traditional being over two floors, a sizeable extension was built on many years ago and now offers 4 bedrooms (master en-suite) to the first floor plus a family bathroom and 3 reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, shower room and utility to the ground floor. There are many original features including the large fireplace and bread oven, an original window (now internal but kept for character) and plenty of exposed timbers. There are two wood burners providing hot water and some central heating.

Outside is a pretty cottage garden to the front, facing south-west and benefitting from a surprising amount of privacy. To the rear is an enclosed garden with original cobbles and paving giving a very east to maintain and useable space. To the rear of the property is a private lane of which No.2 has vehicle rights to access the garage and parking – an excellent addition to a period village property.

DIRECTIONS  On entering Morchard Bishop (from the A377) proceed up the hill into the village, passing the London Inn on your right. Keep left at the fork in the road into Fore Street, and go down the hill where Number 2 will be seen on the right hand side. Parking is usually readily available in Fore Street.

MORCHARD BISHOP is one of the larger parishes in the county lying east of the A377 Exeter / Barnstaple road and north west of Crediton, and having a population of just under 1,000.  It nestles comfortably in the very heartland of Devon, midway between the north and south coast and sitting between the two great Moors, Dartmoor and Exmoor. The village is surrounded by hilly, unspoilt countryside, yet is within easy travelling distance of Crediton (approximately 7 miles), the City of Exeter (approximately 14 miles) and Tiverton (approximately 15 miles).  The village is well served by local regular buses to Crediton and Exeter and is 3 miles from Morchard Road station on the Barnstaple to Exeter Tarka line.  It has an attractive mixture of old thatched cottages and modern houses with amenities such as the parish church, primary school, Doctors Surgery, shop, garage and London Inn.  There is also a sports club, tennis court, village hall and a bowling green.
