Description
Nestled within the rolling Devon hills, with breath-taking rural views, Tannery House is a beautifully presented, detached family home, offering over 3,000 sq. ft. of light and versatile living space. With four spacious bedrooms and a self-contained one-bedroom annexe (making 5 in total), this property is perfect for larger families or multigenerational living, separate guest accommodation, or even a rental opportunity. Despite its rural feel, its just a short drive from local amenities in the village of Bow. Just 7 miles from Crediton and 15 miles from Exeter, Bow lies between Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks, offering endless opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and riding. The Two Moors Way is close by too, providing miles of unspoilt countryside to explore.
The house sits in beautiful grounds, with a gated driveway at the front providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. The rear garden, which is south-facing, provides a total plot of approx. 1.2 acres and offers a wonderful mix of lawns and terraces ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The well-maintained lawns, colourful flowerbeds and various shrubs create a peaceful haven, while the summer house, orchard, log store and bull pen add practical and usable space, all with a unique charm. Theres even a serene wild area and a natural pond for those who love a bit of nature on their doorstep.
Internally, you instantly notice the bright and airy feel of this spacious home, with its charming tiled flooring and elegant staircase leading to a galleried landing. The design touches found throughout give a great mix of character and more modern living and the first floor living area makes the most of the stunning views. The layout works well as one entire home or indeed as two. There are several options for the layout with a range of rooms which can be used as bedrooms or living spaces to suit a totally flexible arrangement. We love the large light rooms and doors opening onto the south-facing balcony perfect for soaking in those garden and far-reaching countryside views. Another option for this home is to rent out part of the house to generate an income, one that has successfully been done by the current owner with an excellent rental record with Airbnb.
Tannery House is one of those places that really does work as a home when youre there due to the flexible nature of the numerous rooms. On paper, this flexibility isnt so obvious, so a viewing is highly recommended!
