sorry to ask again..

..but i hoped someone might be on today, who could answer my question. Come on guys - AB has never let me down so far!
I was told that my detached bungalow was a 'devon 4' when we bought it, as it is a group of four bungalows set in a little square, with none adjacent or facing each other (can't really describe what I mean!)
Now, a friend is looking to buy a proerty around the corner from me on another street, and they told her it's a devon 4. But it has a dorma and is semi-detached. So I would really like to know - what is a devon 4 then?

Surely it would be a simple matter to ask the estate agents?

[crisgal]

which one would I ask? The one that says mine is, or the one who says the other is?
Do you see my pickle?!
I thought I would get a definite description on here.

It's a straight forward question, ask either one of them. No shame in asking a question, one which you don't know the answer to.

Cris, I've Googled every possible spelling and found nothing, and I can't say I've ever heard of it.
Devon is notorious for mis-hearings. I guess anywhere with a strong accent coupled with dialect is liable to be.
I knew of a chap who, after being told how to lay patio slabs, went around every builders merchant he could find to try and get some "beddemin" sand. No one had heard of it until someone figured out he'd been told to ....... "bed them in" sand ;o)

lol! cris ask both and anyone else that might know from devon.

this has reminded me to ask another question thanks . . .

Is it a fairly new build? If so Devon 4 is just the name of the style of propery chosen by the construction company. I'd ask them.

A new site near us has the "Dorset", the "Cornwall" the "Durham", "Cleveland" etc. But the names only relate to this estate.

lol - how funny you all are :)
I am not in devon, i'm in blackpool!
All the streets are named after places in the lakes and my house was built in the sixties.
I had heard the term before I bought this house, and assumed my agent was correct. It was only when my friend was told her dorma (with 4 bedrooms ) was one, that it got me thinking.
never mind. Thanks though x
