DESCRIPTION Cornerways is an individual detached country house located in a delightful semi-rural setting in the small hamlet of Frost, which is little more than a scattering of houses and thatched cottages just outside the picturesque village of Morchard Bishop. The house is set in its own gardens and grounds which extend to approximately 1 acre being currently laid out as formal gardens and a pony paddock with an attractive wildlife pond towards the lower end. There is ample parking and a detached double garage.

The house was constructed to the present owners' specification, and offers sizeable 3 bedroomed accommodation with a large farmhouse style kitchen/dining room with fitted Rayburn stove. Flooring throughout is a mix of natural slate and solid oak to the ground floor with an attractive natural Ash handbuilt staircase leading to the first floor. There are lovely rural views from the house and garden towards Morchard Bishop with the ancient church on the hill.

MORCHARD BISHOP is one of the larger parishes in the county lying east of the A377 Exeter / Barnstaple road and north west of Crediton, and having a population of just under 1,000. It nestles comfortably in the very heartland of Devon, midway between the north and south coast and sitting between the two great Moors, Dartmoor and Exmoor. The village is surrounded by hilly, unspoilt countryside, yet is within easy travelling distance of Crediton (approximately 7 miles), the City of Exeter (approximately 14 miles) and Tiverton (approximately 15 miles). The village is well served by local regular buses to Crediton and Exeter and is 3 miles from Morchard Road station on the Barnstaple to Exeter Tarka line. It has an attractive mixture of old thatched cottages and modern houses with amenities such as the parish church, primary school, Doctors Surgery, post office stores, garage and London Inn. There is also a sports club, tennis court, village hall and a bowling green.

DIRECTIONS If approaching Morchard Bishop from the main A377 road, turn immediately right at the bottom of the approach road to the village as signed to Newbuildings. Proceed along the lane for about 200 yards and Cornerways will be seen on the left.
