Petrockstow, Okehampton, Devon, EX20

Owned by the current owners for a good number of years and seeing the location it is not hard to see why. Approached down a sloping access road that feeds four similar properties in the close a driveway in front provides parking for several vehicles whilst a double garage with electric up and over doors is found at the head. Looking back from the front door the front garden goes up back up the slope and is a picture of flowering shrubs and plants that the Vendors like to keep as a natural habitat for birds. At the top is found a small orchard and from here you get a real sense of the setting, as the views come into play above the roof line.

The well presented accommodation feeds off a large reception hall some 32’ in length. The sitting room is a fine triple aspect room, with multi fuel stove, takes in the views through sliding doors onto the large terrace behind. These views are also enjoyed by the study/4th bedroom and the well laid out kitchen/breakfast room that has ample worksurfaces along with a range of wall, floor and drawer units with a built in dishwasher, electric oven hob and extractor and space for an under counter fridge.

The dining/bedroom three is of a good size as is bedroom two, At the far end of the hall is found a wonderful main bedroom with the all important views and an updated shower room en suite. The vendors have created a dressing room with cupboards along one wall out of what was probably a small single room in times gone past. The remaining rooms are a good size and a refurbished shower room and utility room with appliance space with an internal connecting door to the double garage where the replacement boiler is found.

Outside
The double garage is attached and offers workshop space, power and light and a door out into the garden where there are two greenhouses and a garden store.

Gardens
It is difficult to know where to start to describe these as there are so many different spaces all designed with their own purpose from raised vegetable beds, compost areas, secret garden, wild flower grassland, orchard, lawn and stocked beds and borders. Throughout the planting has been made to blend with the surroundings and there are roses, hydrangea, mahonia, beech, honeysuckle, buddleia, swathes of daisies, herbs and such. Throughout the garden are several areas to just to sit and absorb the surrounds. Running across the back of the property is an enormous terrace that provides an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining to just sit and soak up the view.
