7 bed detached house for sale

Sourton, Okehampton, Devon EX20

Sourton, Okehampton

This delightful Grade II listed period farmhouse offers a wealth of charm and character as one would expect from a 17th century property, with exposed beams and inglenook fireplace. There is a 2/3 bedroom farmhouse and interconnecting 2 bedroom annexe at present used as a holiday let, which could all be incorporated as one larger 5 bedroom property, along with a further detached 2/3 bedroom converted barn currently utilised as a successful holiday let. It has residential planning so could equally suit those looking for multi-generational occupancy. The property sits in approximately 4.2 acres in total, including ample parking for numerous vehicles and there are private formal gardens and three paddocks along with a productive vegetable garden with polytunnel, fruit cage and small orchard.

One enters through an entrance hall which in turn leads to a light and airy sitting room offering a wealth of charm and character with exposed beams and inglenook fireplace. A large farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room makes a wonderful hub to this delightful home. The bedrooms are all spacious and bright enjoying open views over the surrounding countryside. There is a blend of modern and old world charm throughout, offering the best of both.

The property is approached by its own private drive leading to a generous parking area and a large pole barn ideal as a car port or for storage. The detached barn has its own private area of garden and there is a further pretty courtyard garden in front of the house with a linhay, old pigsty and vine pergola, two ponds and an old leat running through the centre. At the back of the kitchen are two further lawns, a stone barbecue and flowerbeds. Beyond this is a small orchard, vegetable garden and fruit cage, two useful garden sheds and a polytunnel. From the orchard a five bar gate leads into the first of three paddocks ideal for a pony or horse and/or small livestock.

Situated in the popular village of Sourton there is a pub, church, village hall and nearby store. The villages of Bridestowe and Lydford are close by, as are the towns of Launceston, Tavistock and Okehampton. The latter is nearest, offering primary and secondary schooling and a range of retail outlets and three supermarkets including a Waitrose, along with a rail link to Exeter. The cities of Exeter and Plymouth are also both easily accessible by car with the A30 corridor just a few minutes’ drive away. There are two bus stops right outside the property with frequent buses to Okehampton and Tavistock.
