Summary - Overlake Farm, Northlew, OKEHAMPTON EX20 3NG
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Characterful five‑bed farmhouse with 6.8 acres and extensive outbuildings.
Almost 3,000 sq ft living space, five double bedrooms
Set in almost 6.8 acres of pasture and gardens, Overlake Farm is a handsome detached farmhouse combining period character with recent, high-quality updating. The house offers almost 3,000 sq ft of living space: five double bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a principal en suite), and generous reception rooms with original fireplaces and logburners that create warm, sociable living spaces. A newly fitted bespoke farmhouse kitchen and a 27ft open-plan dining area provide an immediate family focus and strong entertaining appeal.
Externally the plot is a major asset: rolling lawns, fruit trees, paddocks and a concrete courtyard with substantial outbuildings, stables and useful sheds provide genuine agricultural and equestrian potential. Solar panels contribute to energy efficiency, and fast broadband plus a recently reopened train service from nearby Okehampton make remote working and commuting feasible. Local village amenities are close by, with larger shops and services eight miles away in Okehampton.
Buyers should note a few practical points. The house is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators and uses private drainage; the building is granite with no assumed cavity insulation. The driveway is single-track and the property sits in a rural, fairly isolated location, which suits buyers seeking privacy but may be less convenient for frequent commuters. The EPC is C and council tax band is moderate.
Overall this is a substantial, sensitively renovated period farmhouse for buyers who value space, countryside lifestyle and outbuildings for hobby farming or equestrian use. It will particularly suit families or owners seeking a semi-rural base with easy access to Dartmoor and local outdoor pursuits.
