Tannery House is a beautifully presented detached house with flexible and versatile accommodation, set in a picturesque rural location just outside the village of Bow and within easy reach of Crediton.

The property offers five bedrooms and self-contained accommodation which could be used as an annexe for family members or for lodgers or holidaymakers.

The main house has a welcoming entrance hall with tiled flooring and a turned staircase leading to the galleried first floor landing. The entrance hall also offers a large cloakroom. The ground floor is home to three double bedrooms, a shower room and the annexe, which is separated from the main house by an internal door.

The annexe includes one large double bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a 28ft open-plan sitting room, dining room and kitchen with wooden flooring and a door at the side for private access from the garden. The sitting area has a woodburning stove, while the kitchen has fitted storage units and integrated appliances.

On the first floor there is a sitting area on the galleried landing, a useful study and a generously proportioned sitting and dining room with a woodburning stove and French doors opening onto a south-facing balcony which boasts spectacular views of the countryside and beyond. Also on the first floor is the L-shaped kitchen and breakfast room. It features space for a breakfast table for informal dining, as well as shaker-style storage units to base and wall level, plus integrated appliances including a double oven, an induction hob and an extractor hood. There is also another good size bedroom on this level.

The gardens and grounds at Tannery House are absolutely magical and match the quality of the house. At the front of the property there is a gravel driveway with parking space for several vehicles.

The gardens are mostly to the rear, with the
south-facing aspect resulting in plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The garden includes paved and gravel terracing, well-maintained lawns and border flowerbeds stocked with various colourful flowers and shrubs. There is also a summer house, a log store and a bull pen, as well as a peaceful wildlife area with a gorgeous natural pond through which a tiny brook flows in the winter.

The A30 dual carriageway and the M5 motorway form part of the convenient road links leading to the national motorway network with buses to further cities and villages. Crediton has a station with regular services to Exeter St. David's, with onward connections to London Paddington.

Exeter's four mainline train stations provide links to Plymouth and Bristol in addition to and London Paddington in less than two hours.
