Set in the peaceful village of Northlew, this detached two-bedroom home offers a practical, family-friendly layout across two floors. Bright dual-aspect living and dining rooms open via French doors to a private, enclosed garden, creating easy indoor–outdoor living for children and entertaining. The kitchen is modern with generous storage, and ground-floor bedroom accommodation provides flexibility for guests or home working.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom occupies the full depth of the house and benefits from dormer windows, eaves storage and a roomy en-suite with both bath and separate shower. Energy-saving features include roof-mounted solar panels with battery storage and a new multi-fuel burner; the property is fully electric with storage heaters and electric hot water systems.
Externally there is a brick-paved driveway, covered carport and garage/store, plus a secure, manageable garden that wraps the rear and side — low-maintenance for busy families or downsizers. The village has a primary school, popular inn and community facilities; Okehampton and the A30 are within easy driving distance for wider services and rail links.
Buyers should note the property is in a remoter rural community with average mobile and broadband speeds. Heating is electric storage-based, which can affect running costs despite the solar battery offset. The house was built in the 1980s and, while well presented, may show elements typical of that era (double glazing install date unknown).
