Churchlands, Bow, EX17

Bow is one of Mid Devons’ larger villages, and has an incredible community with a large number of clubs and societies on offer. There’s a great Co-op shop plus the garden centre with a fabulous café and post office, and a modern medical centre and primary school to cater for a range of buyers. Situated between Crediton and Okehampton, the road network is good and with regular buses running to both towns, plus Exeter and Dartmoor and both easily accessible.

Towards the eastern edge of the village is the area of Churchlands, a cul-de-sac development of houses and bungalows. Its location is off the main road and this property, being a corner plot, benefits from only one adjoining neighbour (and the telephone exchange directly behind). The bungalow offers great space inside and out with the advantage of ample parking at the front which leads to the attached double garage and workshop – a really good addition for a village bungalow. The entire plot is on the level, from stepping out of the car on the drive, around to the gardens and throughout the property internally too.

Inside, there’s a large living room, separate dining room and a kitchen/breakfast room. It maybe possible to open the kitchen and dining room into one if preferred by a new owner. There’s also a conservatory to the rear, overlooking the rear garden which gives an extra reception space. The 3 bedrooms are all good sizes with the master having a Jack and Jill door to the family bathroom (acting as an ensuite too). It’s been well kept and can be done over time to suit new tastes. There’s oil fired central heating and uPVC double glazing plus LPG for the hob and living room gas fireplace.

Outside, the front has established lawns with some shrubs and trees with the driveway leading in from the road. There’s access to the side through a gate leading to the rear garden which is bordered with natural hedging and fencing giving a level and accessible garden, again with lawn and shrubs.  There’s certainly enough garden to enjoy but not too much for it to be a burden.
