Location:

Set just outside the sought-after village of Morchard Bishop, The Devonshire enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting in the heart of Mid Devon. Surrounded by rolling countryside and approached via a long, private driveway, the property offers a true sense of seclusion while remaining conveniently connected. The local village, just 4.5km away, provides a pub, village shop, and a warm community feel, while the market town of Crediton, 13km from the house, offers a wider range of restaurants, supermarkets, and services.
Despite its rural setting, The Devonshire is well placed for exploring Devon’s finest attractions. The dramatic wilds of Dartmoor and Exmoor are both within easy reach, as are the north and south Devon coastlines, offering a mix of sandy beaches, clifftop walks, and waterside towns. Exeter is just 14 miles away, with direct trains to London and a vibrant cultural and dining scene.
Whether you’re after long country walks, day trips to RHS Rosemoor or the Tiverton Canal, or simply unwinding in privacy with countryside views, The Devonshire offers a location that balances ease and escape. With golf courses, historic villages, and outdoor adventure all nearby, it’s perfectly positioned for a refined yet relaxed Devon getaway.
