Morchard Bishop is a pretty Mid Devon village full of character properties and Storeside Cottage is certainly one of them with a cosy cottage feel and lovely enclosed garden along with the added bonus of parking.  The village is full of life and community spirit with plenty of activities for all tastes and has the benefit of a popular local pub and a village store stocking everything you could need.  Walks around the local area are easily accessed via footpaths and quiet country lanes. There has been an eco upgrade undertaken in 2025 with solar panels & upgraded insulation for the benefit of the new owner.

Upstairs there are two lovely double bedrooms, both south facing at the front of the property and there is a handy WC on this floor.  A large storage area can be found under the eaves with potential to convert to a further bedroom or upstairs bathroom subject to the appropriate consents.  Alongside the heat from the Aga and the woodburning stove, there are electric panel heaters and night storage heaters.

Outside there is gated parking for 2 vehicles to the side and a garage attached to the neighbouring property. The mature rear garden is enclosed and has lovely views over the village and fields.

MORCHARD BISHOP is a village and civil parish set in the sumptuous hills and valleys of Mid-Devon, halfway between the North and South of the County, 7 miles west of Crediton and 14 miles from the regional capital, Exeter. The showpiece is the spectacular 16th Century Church of St Mary's, one of two churches in the village. This small but thriving community, with a population of just under 1000 has a primary school, doctor's surgery and local shops. Those who lead an active lifestyle can take advantage of the football, netball and outdoor tennis clubs as well as enjoying a game of bowls on the Green.  At the centre is the friendly London Inn, loved for its generous servings of delicious, locally sourced food. Dating back 400 years, this traditional pub was once a stop for passing coaches when the main road from Exeter ran through the village. Today, the nearby railway station at Morchard Road carries passengers from Exeter to Barnstaple along the scenic Tarka Line. Dartmoor and Exmoor, areas of outstanding natural beauty are within 30 minutes' drive.
