Summary - EAST RISDON SOUTH COTTAGE JACOBSTOWE OKEHAMPTON EX20 3AJ
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Huge private garden, central heating and parking for four vehicles close to village schools.
Deceptively spacious four bedrooms and multiple reception rooms
This deceptively spacious four-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits in a peaceful rural setting, reached along a farm track. Period character is evident throughout: exposed beams, a wood-burning fireplace and low ceilings create a cosy, traditional feel while generous room sizes give real family flexibility. The house benefits from central heating and private off-street parking for up to four vehicles.
Outside, a huge, well-maintained garden offers extensive space for children, pets, growing vegetables or adding outbuildings. The plot is a standout asset for someone seeking outdoor freedom and practical room to expand. Mobile signal is excellent, but broadband speeds are very slow — important if you work from home or need reliable internet.
Practical points to note: the property sits in a remoter community with limited local services and some area deprivation indicators. Access is via a farm track, and some rooms have low ceilings typical of period cottages. Nearby schooling includes two good primary schools; the nearest secondary (Okehampton College) is currently rated as requiring improvement. There is no flooding risk and council tax is described as affordable.
This home will suit a family wanting rural space, character and parking, or buyers seeking a large garden and renovation potential. It is less suited to those who need fast broadband, immediate proximity to town amenities, or universal accessibility without adapting low-ceiling rooms.
