Sitting less than a mile from the Mid Devon village of Cheriton Fitzpaine is Shirwill, a detached 4 bedroom bungalow with some stunning views over the rolling countryside towards Dartmoor to the West. The bungalow is in a half acre plot with gardens surrounding it and a small orchard to the north plus there’s an adjoining paddock to the East which extends to over 2 acres giving a total of approx. 2.7 acres. The property was built in the 1990’s and is now being offered for sale. Although there are some improvements to be made, the property is certainly liveable and with a kitchen and utility recently replaced, it’s part way there. There’s oil central heating, timber double glazed windows and it’s on mains water and private and drainage.
It's fair to say that space isn’t an issue here, both inside and out. The bungalow itself is approx. 2100 sqft (including the garage) with generous rooms sizes across the board. The large kitchen/dining room has been recently refitted with a matching utility. Usefully, the attached double garage is accessible from the utility and could even be converted to further accommodation or even an annexe should it be required (subject to permissions). The living room is light with windows to the South and West and double sliding doors open onto the garden. The master bedroom has an ensuite and there’s a bathroom shared by the remaining two bedrooms.
The gardens surround the property with lawns and hedging and the front provides ample parking for numerous vehicles. Worth noting is that the banks to the roadside also are part of the plot. To the north of the property is a small orchard, accessible from the garden or via a separate entrance a few metres up the hill. The orchard has numerous mature trees including apple, pear and plum. This access also provides a lane to the gateway leading to the adjoining paddock. Measuring approx. 2.2 acres, the paddock has a hard standing at the entrance and there are no rights of way/access over the field for anyone else.
It’s a super spot with some stunning views and with over 2 acres to play with, it’s sure to attract those looking for some space around them with the opportunity to improve along the way.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

CHERITON FITZPAINE sits in a vast and hilly lowland region of Devon, the village is 9 miles from the City of Exeter and 1.5 miles northeast of the Crediton/ Tiverton A3072 road – a route that could be argued to be one of the most stunning sunset drives in the county. The village appears timeless and has many listed cottages with the classic poured custard thatched roofs. Notably there’s also a gothic church, known for its hard edges and sharp peaks. There are two pubs, The Ring of Bells and The Half Moon Inn – both of which are unique, but equally Devonian in spirit. Cheriton Fitzpaine is a substantial size and has a multi-million pound primary school, a community shop and Doctor’s surgery plus nearby Thornes Farm Shop, Café & Deli which is home to some exceptional quality homegrown produce. Local children are fortunate to be able to use (acquire grass stains in!) and shoot hoops in ‘Jack’s Acre’, a large playing field/ park maintained by the parish council.
