Bow, one of the areas larger villages and home to a wealth of clubs and societies. Set between Crediton and Okehampton, the village is well situated to make the most of what Devon has to offer. There’s an excellent village store, a garden centre with café and post office and a village primary school (bus to secondary). A regular bus links to Okehampton, Crediton and Exeter.Located towards the top end of the village is a row of 5 thatched homes – Dukes Cottages. Grade II listed, No.3 is the middle of the terrace with it’s character thatched roof and thick cob walls. The property has, until recently been lived in but it is in need of improvement throughout, however, the basis is there for a wonderful home. On the ground floor, the old stone steps lead to a pretty unique front door. The living/dining room is a good size with storage cupboard and through to the kitchen/dining room at the rear. There’s a ground floor bathroom too. Subject to planning, one would likely reposition the back door or knock through to the outbuildings from the kitchen. On the first floor, this was clearly one large room in the past but a central stud wall separates into two rooms.The garden is a real feature of the property, with a lower cobbled area leading to the outbuildings and then steps up to the lawn and productive vegetable plots. The garden is a bit of a hidden gem, you wouldn’t expect it from the front and has been well looked after. Towards the end of the garden are a couple of storage sheds too.Agents’ Note: Due to the work required, if you require a mortgage, please check with your lender before offering that they would lend on this home.Buyers' Compliance Fee NoticePlease note that a compliance check fee of £25 (inc.
