Bow sits in that part of South Hams where the lanes narrow, the hedgerows close in, and the postcode doesn't come with a high street of note — this is a hamlet in the proper sense, a scatter of houses rather than a place with a centre of gravity. If you're picturing somewhere with a parade of shops and a station clock, recalibrate: what you're buying into here is quiet and distance from things, not proximity to them. There isn't enough recorded data on Bow itself — no crime figures, no school ratings, no transport counts, no population or price detail specific to the hamlet — to build the kind of picture I'd normally give you. What I can tell you is where it sits in its wider district: South Hams carries a median house price around £350,000, itself close to the regional average, so if Bow trades near its parent district's level, it's a place priced in line with the South West rather than markedly cheaper or dearer. Beyond that, I'd be guessing, and guessing isn't a service to you. For a hamlet this size, the honest answer is that the character of daily life here — the school run, the pub, the pace of things — is something you'll need to see on the ground, because the numbers simply haven't caught up with the place.
