Description
Cheriton Bishop is a popular village due to its community and great links onto the A30 opening up easy access to Exeter and beyond. There’s a pub, shop and primary school with a school bus to secondary school and there’s a very well thought of medical centre. The town of Crediton is about 15 minutes away and in the nearby village of Yeoford, there are rail links to Exeter and Barnstaple on the Tarka line.
This is a rare opportunity for a brand new house in a countryside setting, just a mile from Cheriton Bishop. In its own 0.50 acre plot, the planning permission was granted by Mid Devon District Council on 3rd September 2023 under their reference 23/01001/FULL. The planning is to demolish the existing house and build a new larger property in the plot. The new house will be set back a little further than the existing to make the most of the gardens of which are south facing. The plans show a large, 3 storey (rooms in the roof) detached family home of approx. 288sqm (3098 sqft) so it’s a very good size. Of course, the planning could be changed to suit but this would depend on the council’s decision following consultation. The new house will be very energy efficient and have some lovely views.

CHERITON BISHOP is a village situated at the northern borders of Dartmoor National Park – between the City of Exeter and the town of Okehampton. The farmlands adjoining Cheriton undulate with true Devon character, gradually rising towards Dartmoor, where altitudes creep to heights in excess of 1000 ft above sea level. The village is ideally placed for hassle free access to the A30 dual carriageway, a direct injection into Exeter (10 miles) and a great route west to Cornwall. Facilities include, a parish church, a inn - The Thatch, a primary school and a Doctor’s surgery. Fancy sloshing a drink around and wiggling to a beat? For music lovers: Cheriton hosts two annual festivals at the Woodleigh Coach House – ‘The Gig in The Garden’ and ‘Jam in June’, the perfect opportunity to see some talented local acts.
