Station Road, Okehampton

Elegant and energy-efficient Edwardian home seeks new owners! This spacious and versatile townhouse is located on one of Okehampton’s most prestigious roads, has private off-street parking and showcases all the sought-after features of the period. It also boasts an impressive EPC Rating of 81 (B) thanks to the solar panel array with feed in tariff and solar hot water system, leading to very low running costs for a property of this age and size. The large sash windows and high ceilings that are present throughout allow tons of light to flood the home, and when coupled with the generous room sizes and beautiful coving in the primary living spaces create an airy and refined feel throughout the home.
This expansive 6 bedroom home is set over three floors, and the room configuration provides all sorts of flexibility to a future owner. Although currently set up as a single large property, the ground floor has previously been let out as a separate 2/3 bedroom flat, and it would be easy to reinstate this, subject to the necessary consents. In addition to this, the approximately 550 sqft coach house located to the rear of the main house offers many potential uses, whether as ancillary accommodation or a teenager suite, made possible by the shower room present, or perhaps a work from home space or home gym?
The primary living space of this beautiful home is on the first floor, with the 22’1” x 14’6” kitchen / dining room at the heart of the home. This spacious room includes a large central island with breakfast bar and dual aspect windows, and there is even a television hidden behind a mirror in the dining area that stays with the property! The rounded corners of the kitchen counters and island beautifully echo those in the archway subtly separating the kitchen and dining areas and speak to the level of craftsmanship present in the property. Also on this floor are the formal living room, with two large windows to front, a double bedroom and a WC.
Up on the second floor are the two primary bedrooms, both with en suites, and bedroom one includes a walk-in wardrobe. There are also roof top views from bedroom one across town and to the hills beyond that you can take in as you rise from bed in the morning. The family bathroom is also on the second floor and includes a bath that has been sited to take in the views of the surrounding hills while soaking away.
The ground floor of the home would be perfect for multi-generational living, as it offers step free access from the street and has a large walk-in shower in the bathroom, making this area suitable for those of limited mobility. Equally this area could be used as is currently, as additional space for the main house. There are 2 spacious bedrooms to the rear of this floor (one of which is used as a home office), a reception room facing on to the street currently set up as a bar, and a second reception room or third bedroom set behind this.
The property has the enviable benefit of private driveway parking to the side, with an EV charging point installed. To the rear is an astroturfed garden, and a large covered outdoor entertaining space on the ground floor of the coach house. There is also a kennel within the ground floor of the coach house that could easily be used as a workshop for the hobbyist. For additional outside space, you can walk to Simmons Park in just minutes, where there are large expanses of open space, a tranquil river walk, playgrounds and playing fields.
The property is located in the vibrant town of Okehampton, on the lower level of Station Road which boasts some of the most impressive and desirable homes in the town. It is only a short level walk to the town’s amenities, including 3 supermarkets and a wide variety of independent shops and services. The train station is approximately 1/2 mile away, which offers service to Exeter and onward to London Paddington. The town has primary and secondary schooling available, as well as a large Edwardian Park, all of which are a short walk away. The wilds of north Dartmoor are a very short distance away and the spectacular north coast beaches are 45 minutes drive away.
