Detached house for sale in Bow, Crediton EX17

If you’re looking for a property with a generous plot, in a village, quiet and away from main roads, then this place is well worth a look. It’s right on the edge of Bow, one of Mid Devon’s larger villages which boasts a primary school, shop, café, pub, garden centre and medical centre, and with a regular bus service to Crediton and Okehampton, it’s well positioned. A small village lane leads to the property and being on the edge, there’s a good sized garden, all on the level and room to extend (stp). There’s also a separate acre of land adjacent to the property which could be purchased (by separate negotiation) making this a very attractive opportunity.

The property could be used as a bungalow but there is a first floor which adds an additional 2 bedrooms and a second bathroom, so there’s plenty of flexibility. Millham Farm has been in the same family for over 25 years and is now being offered for sale. In that time, there have been many improvements throughout and it offers very comfortable accommodation over the 2 floors. With uPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating (plus wood burner), plus a well fitted kitchen and modern bathrooms, there’s little for a new owner to do, except maybe a lick of paint for personal preference. The layout gives 2 bedrooms and a bathroom to the ground floor, a large living room which opens onto the gardens as well as the kitchen with limestone flooring, granite worktops and integrated appliances. So the property is flexible in its uses as a house or bungalow. There were previous passed permissions to extend the property which have now lapsed but is useful to know.

Outside, the driveway provides ample off-road parking for a few vehicles and leads to the attached double garage to the side. The front garden sets it back nicely and there’s a good sized rear garden too, all on the level. The rear garden sits to the west meaning afternoon and evening sun. In the garden are a couple of very useful stores which may be able to be converted to office/workshop space. Across the lane is a 1 acre paddock that is available by separate negotiation but being right next door would be a real asset to this property if desired.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
