SITUATION
Morchard Bishop has a great deal of history, with its oldest building believed to date back to around 1380. The village remained under the ownership of the Bishop of Exeter until 1908, at which point the 49 houses and cottages, the London Inn and various parcels of land were all auctioned off. The Parks is reputed to be the Bishop of Crediton’s medieval hunting lodge, with later additions in the Georgian period. Currently, called home for around 1000 people, Morchard Bishop affords a strong local community with a range of facilities including an award winning village shop and mobile post office, Doctor’s surgery and Pharmacy and schooling with an Ofsted rated primary school, together with its Parish Church and popular public house. Crediton which lies to the southeast provides a more comprehensive range of commercial, recreational and educational facilities, with Exeter providing the level of facilities befitting those of a County and regional centre. To the south lies Morchard Road with its Sprinter rail connections providing convenient access to Exeter St David's with good connections to London or alternatively to Barnstaple which lies to the northwest. Tiverton affords similar facilities to those of Crediton, as well as providing access to the M5 (J27). In itself, the property occupies a position within South West England renowned for both the diversity of its countryside and, for the many varied sporting and recreational facilities available either within the immediate locality or further afield.
