Morchard Bishop

This place has a lot to offera detached period cottage in a central yet surprisingly private position with 3 bedrooms, 2 receptions and a large kitchen/breakfast room and a pretty front garden with parking, no chain.

Hillside is a detached cottage, centrally located in the popular Mid-Devon village of Morchard Bishop which has a thriving village community, shop, churches and pub. The Tarka Line (rail services to Crediton/Exeter and Barnstaple can be found just a couple of miles away in Morchard Road.

The cottage is being sold now with no chain and offers excellent space over two floors. The ground floor has further potential with a very useful utility/store which would suit a range of uses. The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted and there’s plenty of room for a table. The “front door” (there are two on the front) leads into a central hall with access to the dining room with doors out onto the garden and in turn into the large and light living room. The bathroom is on the ground floor but there is a WC on the first floor too. There are 3 good sized bedrooms and a very useful airing cupboard upstairs. The property is double glazed and has oil fired central heating.

Outside, the main outside space is to the front with gated parking/courtyard area and then lawn. Established trees give some privacy and provide a very attractive garden area which is separate to the parking. The gates give some security for this with children or pets.

To the side of the house is a small further area which is home to the oil tank.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

Directions

Enter Morchard Bishop from the A377 at Morchard Road and proceed up Polson Hill and pass The London Inn on the brow of the hill. In front of you will be a granite cross which creates a fork in the road. Hillside is just opposite the cross on the right hand side of the fork.

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.
