With such a variation of properties, it’s no wonder that Bow is a popular village locally. One of the larger villages in Mid Devon, it has a great community with sport teams, clubs and societies that meet on a regular basis. There’s a primary school (bus to secondary), a pub, excellent Co-Op shop and a garden centre with café, plus being between Crediton and Okehampton, there’s a regular bus service to both.
Tavy Cottage, although central in the village, has most of its focus to the rear onto its south facing gardens and importantly, the parking and garage which are also accessed from the rear through the pretty gardens (more of that later). The house works whether entering from the front or back with a cross passage between the two but, as the current owners do, most day to day comings and going are via the rear garden. The layout offers spacious rooms over two floors and with two staircases, the two first floor bedrooms can have a staircase each! The bathroom is Jack and Jill meaning both can utilise it and it also provides a link between both sides of the first floor. The third bedroom is on the ground floor, another double, it could be used as another reception if the bed spaces aren’t required. The large living room is home to a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove and through to the kitchen/dining/garden room, the feeling changes from older character to more modern and bright, enhanced by the roof lantern and plenty of windows (with electric blinds). Across the courtyard from the rear doors is a useful utility/shower room with WC, and a store plus a covered hot-tub area (hot tub included in the sale) meaning all year round use. The gardens are a real feature of this stunning home and are a testament to the current owners who have created a wonderful outside space with well stocked beds, ponds, lawns and all ready for a new owner to enjoy. There’s a garden store and to the end of the garden is the garage (it isn’t in the best condition but it works!) and a parking space.
Agents Note: Access to the parking and garage is via the church carpark and for this, the owners pay a licence of £50 per year which will continue for a new owner.

BOW, being the geographical centre of Devon, is well positioned for accessing Dartmoor, the North Cornish coast, and the A30. Surrounded by rich and varied farmland, several homesteads are noted in the Domesday Book, while a 3rd Millenium woodhenge lies to the west of the Parish. The 12th century parish church of St Bartholomew lies on the outskirts of the village at Nymet Tracey. Along side its ancient roots, Bow offers a mix of character and newer properties and is home to families and older couples alike who are attracted by its well-regarded primary school (OFSTED: GOOD) and active community. Bow residents enjoy a range of facilities including a modern doctor’s surgery with its wellbeing garden, a local football team, a co-op, and a garden centre with café.
