Charming 2-bed first-floor flat with countryside views — ideal first home.
Shared freehold with very long lease (circa 974 years)
A compact, characterful first-floor flat set in a traditional stone building in Oakford, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking village life with countryside views. The open-plan kitchen/sitting room has a wood-burning stove and a large window that fills the space with light and frames the rural outlook. Off-street parking and very low local crime add practical appeal.
The property is offered with a shared freehold and an exceptionally long lease (circa 974 years), simplifying ownership for a purchaser. Rooms are efficiently arranged: two bedrooms, a shower room and an entrance stair/landing. Council tax is very low, and the building sits in a low flood-risk area with good mobile signal and road links to Tiverton and the M5.
Buyers should note the property’s historic construction and fabric: stone walls likely lack modern insulation, glazing pre-dates 2002, and heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are slow in this remoter community, and the second bedroom is compact. These factors make the flat best suited to buyers prepared to accept period maintenance and modest modernisation rather than someone needing instant high-speed connectivity or large living spaces.
Overall, this flat offers affordable entry into rural Devon with character and clear scope for targeted upgrades. It will suit a first-time buyer or couple wanting a quiet village base and willing to invest modestly to improve insulation, heating efficiency, and internet connectivity.
