DESCRIPTION Winsor House is an impressive 18th century Grade II Listed village residence set in the mid Devon village of Bow conveniently placed for the wide range of excellent local amenities including a doctors surgery, primary school, and general grocers store, etc. The house offers exceptionally spacious and flexible 7/8 bedroomed period accommodation having an elegant double facade with 2 attractive bay windows, and a side vehicular driveway giving access to an adjoining two storey barn at the rear with stables, garage and parking.

The house is believed to date back to the 1700's and is typical of this period having some lovely features including double hung sash windows with internal shuttering, open fireplaces, well proportioned light rooms with high ceilings giving a spacious feel. There is a large garden to the rear which extends to almost 150ft, some of which still has the original cob/brick wall surrounding. Adjoining the lower end of the garden is an orchard, and the whole is bounded by a small country stream.

The present owners have lovingly restored the sash windows and shutters. The cast iron bath has also been restored back to its former glory. New floor coverings have also been fitted in most rooms across the house. The property benefits from oil fired central heating throughout.

Outside, a pair of new timber five bar gates have been added at the entrance to the courtyard, a new childrens play area has been created, vegetable garden and the garden has been completely re-turfed.

To sum up, Winsor House would be ideal for a purchaser seeking a very large period house
with potential to create even further accommodation (annexe/studios/bed and breakfast etc subject to the necessary permissions) together with extensive gardens and grounds.

BOW is a parish and village on the River Yeo approximately 8 miles from Crediton, on the road to Okehampton. A unique feature of the village is the very high raised pavement running down one side of the main street. There is an inn, an excellent new primary school, village hall and a shop.
