Summary - 2 NORTH TOWN, OKEHAMPTON, PETROCKSTOW EX20 3HD
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Character cottage on nearly three acres — ideal for rural living and DIY renovation.
Three bedrooms with period features and exposed beams
A characterful three-bedroom Victorian cottage in Petrockstowe offered chain-free and requiring significant refurbishment. The house retains period features — exposed beams, a cloam oven and Rayburn — and benefits from double glazing fitted since 2002 and oil-fired central heating. Its traditional cob construction and listed-style character give charm but will need careful renovation and modernisation.
The most notable feature is the large plot: approximately 2.9 acres of adjoining paddock, a formal front lawn, greenhouse, and several stone outbuildings, workshop and garage. The paddock is suitable for hobby farming, equestrian use or leisure, making this attractive to buyers seeking space and rural lifestyle potential. There is potential to extend subject to consents.
Practical drawbacks are significant and factual: the cottage is in need of comprehensive updating throughout, some outbuildings require repair, and there is a neighbour’s right of way over the side lane. Heating runs on an oil boiler and the EPC is Band E. Mobile signal is limited locally and broadband is average, so check connectivity if working from home is essential.
This will suit buyers looking for a renovation project with large outdoor acreage — particularly downsizers or retirees wanting a rural base with room for animals or gardening — and those who can manage or commission substantial improvement work. A survey is advised to scope structural and services requirements before committing.
