Situation - Oakford House is located in an attractive valley setting on the western outskirts of the very sought after village of North Molton. The thriving village offers a very good range of amenities including primary school, public house, two churches, community shop, garage/petrol station and excellent sports club. Whilst the village lies close to the boundary of Exmoor National Park to the east, the village is also easily accessible with the A361 (North Devon Link Road) just over two miles away which provides a direct route to the regional centre of Barnstaple and to Tiverton and beyond to the M5 (J27).
The local market town of South Molton is just three miles and offers a full range of social, shopping and banking facilities and schooling to secondary level.
The boundary of Exmoor National Park is only two miles away and the famous North Devon coastline with some of the best beaches in the country is also within easy reach by car.

Description - Oakford House is an imposing detached property, formerly a farmhouse and attached cottage. In the 1980s the cottage and part of the original farmhouse were extensively renovated to provide the current living accommodation, including a new roof to the whole of the property. The remainder of the original farmhouse is as it was and offers tremendous scope for additional accommodation or to create a property for dual family occupation, subject to the necessary consents being obtained.

Accommodation - An enclosed PORCH leads into a STAIR HALL with a door off to the left into the double aspect SITTING ROOM with a lovely outlook across the gardens and an attractive fireplace with a wood burning stove on slate hearth. Off the stair hall to the right is a DINING ROOM with a stone fireplace with a slate hearth and a wood-burning stove and display cupboard to the right. The KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM is fitted with a range of base and wall units, stainless steel single drainer sink unit with mixer tap, larder cupboard and a Rayburn Royal set in front of a concealed inglenook fireplace. Off the kitchen there is a REAR HALL with a door into a SHOWER ROOM/WC and a door into the UTILITY ROOM with stainless steel sink unit with cupboards below, wall mounted cupboards and door into the GARAGE.

On the first floor the LANDING serves THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS with the largest room having two double built in wardrobe cupboards, walk in airing cupboard and further walk in storage. The BATHROOM is fitted with a panelled bath, pedestal washbasin and close coupled WC. All the rooms have a lovely outlook over the gardens and beyond.

Outside - To the front are large lawned gardens on two levels with an area of planted flowerbeds at the southern end. There is also a good sized parking and turning area to the side of the house that also leads to the GARAGE. To the rear of the house is an area of woodland.
There is a range of traditional stone BARNS which are currently used for storage and small stabling. It is considered that these barns have considerable potential for conversion to alternative uses (stp).
Set across the country lane from the house is a PADDOCK with the whole property amounting to 1.13 ACRES.

The Old Farm House - Attached to the northern end of the house is the former FARMHOUSE. It is effectively a 'shell' but it has been re-roofed. It offers huge potential (stp) to create additional accommodation to enlarge the existing accommodation or to create an additional self-contained unit that would meet dual-family needs or similar.
