Tavy Cottage is a mid‑17th century thatched home set in the centre of Bow, offering generous rooms and strong period character. Spacious living areas, exposed beams and a large south‑facing garden create an appealing family home with flexible layouts — one ground‑floor double bedroom could serve as a reception room if preferred. The kitchen/garden room is bright and modern in feel, aided by a roof lantern and electric blinds, and links to a courtyard with utility/shower room, store and covered hot‑tub area (hot tub included).
Practical points are straightforward: the property is freehold, has double glazing installed after 2002, mains services, and a useful garage and garden store. Parking is available in the nearby village car park (about 50m). Heating is by wood‑burner and electric room heaters; the current EPC grade is E. The house sits on a large plot with well‑stocked beds, lawns and ponds, ready for a new owner to enjoy and further develop.
Buyers should note material constraints associated with the home. Tavy Cottage is Grade II listed and in a conservation area — this will affect permitted changes and maintenance options. The rear garage is in poor condition and access requires a right of way agreement with a neighbour. Low ceilings in some rooms reflect the building’s age and may not suit everyone. There is no flood risk and local amenity provision (school, shop, surgery) supports village living.
This property will suit buyers seeking a characterful, sizeable cottage in a well‑connected Mid Devon village — families or those wanting a rural base with good community facilities. Those looking for easy, unrestricted renovation should be aware of the listed status and associated planning constraints.
