Summary - SYCAMORE HOUSE, OKEHAMPTON, STICKLEPATH EX20 2NW
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Characterful 3-bed near Dartmoor — equity-share option for over‑60s.
Thatched period cottage with stone walls and garden
A characterful three-bedroom thatched cottage set in Sticklepath, on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. The property combines traditional charm — stone walls, thatched roof and low cottage ceilings — with a modern extension and a decent garden, providing comfortable indoor and outdoor space across approximately 1,552 sq ft.
The Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise offers an alternative purchase route for buyers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £368,500 (market value £550,000). The plan lets purchasers buy a share of the property (up to 50%) to protect some equity while reducing upfront cost; actual price and saving depend on age and personal circumstances.
Practical points to note: this is a shared-ownership/ lifetime-lease style purchase and tenure details must be confirmed by your solicitor. The cottage sits in a remote, low-crime village setting with average broadband and mobile signal. Some original features — low ceilings and older thatch — will require ongoing maintenance and any historic extensions should have planning/building regulation consents verified.
This home will suit someone looking to downsize into a pretty rural property with character, or an over-60 buyer wanting an equity-sharing purchase option. It offers scope to enjoy village amenities and Dartmoor access while accepting the responsibilities of maintaining a period thatched cottage.
