Station Road, Okehampton

Are you searching for your forever family home? Would the idea of residing on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, close to local amenities, plus the added benefit of incredible renovation upgrades and income potential, sounds amazing right! Look no further…

Number 30 is a prime example of a grand residence, believed to be constructed during the Victorian era of the 1800’s. The home itself is situated within a highly desirable district of Okehampton, within close proximity of local hotspots Simmons Park and Okehampton’s medieval castle.

Upon approach, you are greeted by a gated driveway, with parking for ample vehicles, stairway access to the front door and notable entrance to the basement accommodation ‘Half Penny Apartment.’ The characterful features are immediately embraced, from attractive tiled flooring, high ceilings and admirably sized doorway leading through into the spacious hallway, plus all that is on offer.

The ground floor offers a selection of reception space, perfect for a balance of social and private occasions all year round. Furthermore, the truly stunning kitchen/dining room incorporates natural light in abundance from the delightful sash windows, centrally located island and eye-catching exposed stonework on the internal walls.

The light and spacious theme continues as we enter the living room, with plentiful floorspace for an array of furnishings, historic ceiling coving and desirable wood burner providing the cosy factor. For practicality and convenience, a large utility/cloakroom has been sympathetically renovated, alongside the study area adjacent to intricately designed stairway spindles.

Ascending to the first floor, this Grade II listed property boasts three double bedrooms and a show-stopper of a family bathroom. The neutral, immaculate décor theme continues throughout all areas, from the magnificent stairway to the main bathroom which offers a large walk-in shower, roll top bath, aesthetically designed tiling/stonework and underfloor heating.

During their years of ownership, the current vendors have developed the majority of the property footprint to become the divine home that is on offer today. Half Penny Apartment is the main addition, from a dilapidated basement, to a pristine two-bedroom, self-sufficient accommodation currently promoted as a successful Airbnb. Without question, all areas have been completed to an exquisite standard, from the contemporary kitchen, large bathroom, living room and two well-dimensioned bedrooms. A further notable benefit is the incorporation of an underfloor heating system throughout this bespoke level.

To the exterior of the home, stairway access from the integral store/workshop brings us to the rear garden space. We have available two patio areas, lending themselves to your choice of favoured furnishings, plus the benefit of enclosed fencing and mature hedge line boundary. The west facing orientation promotes prime sunset territory from all aspects, plus the versatility of the garden favours the approach of either a low maintenance approach, to the horticulturally involved individual.

There are three supermarkets (including a Waitrose) a range of nationally and locally owned shops and businesses, together with a modern hospital and leisure centre in the attractive setting of Simmons Park.
