Set within approximately 6.8 acres of pasture and formal gardens, Overlake Farm is a newly renovated five-bedroom farmhouse that balances period charm with contemporary comfort. The 27ft open-plan kitchen and dining room is the heart of the house, fitted with a bespoke farmhouse-style kitchen, central island and a range cooker — ideal for family meals and entertaining. Dual-aspect reception rooms each have original fireplaces with logburners, creating cosy living spaces for colder months.
The first floor houses five double bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with fitted wardrobes and a luxury en suite featuring a freestanding roll-top bath and corner shower. Practical rooms include a utility and boot room, substantial fitted storage on the landing, and well-maintained gardens with fruit trees, lawns and multiple seating areas for outdoor living. Solar panels and an air-source heat pump reduce running costs, supported by an EPC rating of C. Fast broadband and average mobile signal make the home workable for remote or hybrid working.
Externally the property offers substantial agricultural potential: a concrete courtyard, several large farm outbuildings, two stables and paddocks suitable for grazing or equestrian use. The farmhouse sits in a quiet rural hamlet, close to Northlew’s village amenities and about eight miles from Okehampton, with easy road links via the A30 and an hourly train service to Exeter from Okehampton. The setting is attractive for those seeking space, privacy and outdoor pursuits.
Buyers should note some practicalities inherent to a rural farmhouse: the property uses private drainage and mains and private water supply arrangements apply, it is accessed via a singletrack driveway, and the sale is subject to any existing wayleaves or easements. The house is unlisted and was constructed before 1900 with granite stone walls and internal insulation — periodic maintenance of an older building should be expected despite recent renovations.
