Petrockstowe, Okehampton, Devon, EX20 3HQ

This 1960s bungalow is ready for renovation, and once completed this property will be one of the finest bungalows in the area. With long range views toward Exmoor, a plot in the region of 0.6 acre and permission to extend to approx. 1,800 square feet, this is an outstanding opportunity. This property is ideal for those seeking the potential for a luxurious edge of village / semi-rural property set on a single level that does not compromise on accommodation space. The extension plans call for three double bedrooms, two with en suites and dressing rooms, an office / fourth bedroom, the family bathroom, spacious snug, and the showpiece kitchen / diner / family room with pantry and separate utility. Alternatively one could simply renovate the existing bungalow and forego the extension if that better suits their needs. Brand new double glazed windows for the extension are included in the sale, and most of the existing bungalow windows have already been replaced. The property also includes a solar panel array with feed in tariff (generation tariff 21.49 p/kwh / export tariff 6.79 p/kwh as of June 2024), which will significantly assist with running costs for the new owners.

The property is located at the edge of the village of Petrockstowe, which was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village has a strong community centred around the village hall and Community Church. For outdoor enthusiasts, the 180 mile Tarka Trail and Meeth Quarry Nature Reserve are on the doorstep. There is primary schooling available in the nearby village of Merton (2 mi) and town of Hatherleigh (5 mi), and secondary schooling is available in Great Torrington (9 mi) and Okehampton (11 mi). The ISI ‘Excellent’ Shebbear College is only 5 miles distant. Hatherleigh offers a Coop, doctors’ surgery, cafes, pubs and shops, with both Great Torrington and Okehampton offering a wider range of amenities.

The property is approached via a tarmacadam driveway that opens to sweeping views of the North Devon countryside. The plot is approximately 0.6 acre and comprises gently sloping gardens and pasture.

See Torridge District Planning reference number 1/0138/2023/FUL for additional details on the approved extension.
All room measurements are for existing bungalow.
There is planning permission in place for a new build bungalow to be constructed on an adjacent plot, which will result in a shared entrance and separate driveways.
