Property description
Highly individual modern detached home, finished with traditional materials to an incredibly high standard by the current owners! Includes open plan living & 4 double bedrooms all with access to En-Suites, with west facing garden & ample parking.
DESCRIPTION
This highly individual architecturally designed detached house is superbly positioned on the edge of the ever popular village of Morchard Bishop, just a short walk from a great ‘foody pub’, well regarded primary school and handy shop – In the other direction, many lovely walks with beautiful Devon countryside straddling the country lanes.
The property was constructed around 10 years ago and has recently undergone complete internal modernisation and in places reconfigured rooms to maximise the large space over the 3 floors, connected by a central turning staircase. There are four double bedrooms which all have access to En-Suite facilities, the two ground floor bedrooms which share a Jack and Jill style En-Suite shower room, plus two further bedrooms on the 2nd floor, bedroom 2 with an en-suite bathroom and the master bedroom having a walk in wardrobe, en-suite shower room and some amazing elevate views. On the first floor is an open plan style living/dining/kitchen area, which flows nicely and leads to a wonderful recently fitted kitchen with centre island, many integrated appliances and granite worktops.
The living area enjoys a wood burner plus a large full height bay window also taking full advantage of the views. The property has been designed and built with energy efficiency in mind being a timber framed construction, timber double glazing, wet electric underfloor heating and having excellent levels of thermal and sound insulation, plus a clever heat recovery air circulation system.
Outside there is ample off road parking for numerous vehicles plus a delightful and manageable west facing garden, perfect for sitting out in the afternoon and evening sun and having a fantastic covered dining area with wood burner so it can be used (nearly!) all year round. Located underneath the decking is a useful storage /workshop area, which is next to the private seating area accessed from bedroom 4.
To sum up, Yew Tree Cottage would be ideal for purchasers seeking a period style property with all the benefits of a modern construction, offering accommodation with a wow factor, something a little different from the norm!
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/post office, garage and London Inn. There is also a sports club, tennis court, village hall and a bowling green.
DIRECTIONS If entering the village from the A377, proceed up the hill, passing the London Inn on your right. Fork left and proceed down the hill (Fore Street) and into Chulmleigh Road. Yew Tree Cottage will be seen on the right, just past the turning to Bishops Meadow.
