Somewhat over-used phrases, often used by estate agents are Deceptively Spacious or Its a tardis, what these phrases actually mean is you should look beyond the faade to see whats on offer. This is certainly the case here in Bow. Set in the centre of this Mid-Devon village with a primary school, shop, pub, garden centre, caf© and public transport links, its a fantastic Grade II family home with plenty of character, space and a very special, large garden to the rear. If you like your home to be unique, then youre going to like this one. That said, its a traditional linear layout running from front to back and worth noting is that the thatch only forms about 50% of the roof so from a maintenance and insurance point of view, this is good news.
Access is gained via the gated entrance to the front which opens into a covered passage, ideal for storage of outdoor equipment or even motor bikes etc. This passageway is owned by 1 Hildens and there are no additional rights of way for anyone else. The main door is on the side of the house and opens into the cosy sitting room with its deep window seat and wood-burning stove, its a comforting room with exposed timbers and shelving with a large cupboard. The kitchen/dining room has a brighter, lighter feel with quarry tiled flooring and hand made oak units, with a built in dishwasher and being in keeping with the style of the cottage. Theres a solid fuel Rayburn which heats the hot water and can be used to cook on so helpful with electricity costs (there is also an immersion for summer use/back up) and it also heats the towel rail and radiators on the first floor. Beyond the kitchen is a stunning timber framed garden room with clear glass roof and large picture windows looking over the initial part of the garden. Theres also a WC and wet room to give an extra facility to the ground floor. From the kitchen, stairs lead to the first floor with 3 double bedrooms, full of character and with vaulted ceilings adding to the volume and light in each room. Theres a very useful study area to the landing and the family bathroom.
Immediately to the rear of the garden room and passageway, theres a private courtyard garden, ideal for entertaining being close to the house and kitchen etc. A two storey detached barn offers excellent storage and hobby space over both floors and has potential to be further improved and suited to a range of uses (stp). A pathway leads from the courtyard into the main garden which is very large and has been left somewhat to nature. Theres plenty of room for growing your own produce or having a few animals and pathways have been created through. The garden extends all the way to the bottom where the small stream marks the boundary. Within the garden are some timber outbuildings for storage/potting etc. The garden is a real feature of the property and is a blank canvass for someone to get hold of and enjoy.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
