Petrockstowe, Okehampton, EX20

Sitting at a lower level beside the village hall and car park this home is just full of surprises that are just not seen from the outside apart form the view which plays such a major part in living here. There are ample vista points to allow the mind to wander off into far off places!


A tarmacadam driveway, which provides ample parking, leads to the double garage with its up and over door, having power and light connected. Steps lead down to the garden which is where the view really comes into play, with the house making a statement ahead with a paved path leading to the European style front door. Along the path edge are a number of areas for log storage, sheds and such.
The moment you step inside the house there is a sense of calm and visible style that continues throughout. The kitchen is very much the heart of the home and is finished in high gloss, soft close units, comprising drawers, floor and wall cupboards with extensive work surface, island unit, concealed mood lighting and slate tiled floor. Appliances include a 5 ring range gas cooker with electric ovens and oversized extractor with light over, a dishwasher and beside the door to the utility room, there is space for an American style fridge freezer and on the other side is found a deep cupboard and ample under stairs storage.
Twin openings lead into the dining room which is equally as impressive having an enormous picture window giving uninterrupted views across the adjacent gardens and to the countryside beyond. There is a lovely feeling to this room created by the honey coloured flooring and set into a recess along the kitchen wall is a Woodwarm stove sat upon a raised tiled hearth with oak mantle above. The flooring continues into the sitting room which is a fine double aspect room again having distant views of which is found the study/playroom and a conservatory/garden room which has double doors opening onto a composite decking which is ideal for al fresco entertaining or just sitting upon and enjoying the surroundings.

At the opposite end of the house is found the utility room which has a range of store cupboards, sink built, in fridge/freezer, work top with space of both a washing machine and tumble dryer under and a part glazed door opens onto the rear garden. Rounding off the ground floor accommodation is the shower/cloakroom fitted in a contemporary style.

Stairs led to the first floor galleried landing and having a cathedral arch style window on the western side, of an evening, is often flooded with the setting suns rays. The main bedroom is a lovely double aspect room having mirror fronted wardrobe cupboards along one wall with double doors on the opposite side that open out onto a small balcony, which is ideal for a bistro table and couple of chairs. From here you really can loose yourself in your thoughts just taking in the distant views from a height.

The en suite shower room has a large walk in shower, w.c. with concealed cistern, acorn shaped wash hand basin with matt black pillared tap sat upon a high gloss twin drawer cabinet and heated towel rail. The second bedroom, again with distant views, is a double room with mirror fronted wardrobe cupboards. The third bedroom is a good sized single. And has plenty of space for bedroom furniture. The bathroom, with its tiled walls, follows the contemporary theme and comprises a ‘P’ shape bath with both rain and hand held shower heads, waterfall mixer tap and a range of high gloss bathroom furniture with oversized wash hand basin with water fall mixer tap. A separate w.c. is found at the head of the stairs.

The gardens are designed with ease of maintenance in mind, being laid to grass having areas to entertain be it on the decking at the front or raised area under the pergola at the back, both of which enjoy a good degree of sunlight. A timber garden shed is found in one corner and a such the design and layout allows for someone to keep as is or to put their own stamp on it.
From Torrington take the A386 Hatherleigh/Okehampton road passing through the village of Merton. Continue until reaching the sawmills on the left hand side and here turn right signposted Petrockstow. Drive into the village until reaching the crossroads. Here turn left and continue up the hill and just past Baxter village hall car park and playground, turn left onto the tarmac drive with the double garage facing.
