Oaklands, Petrockstowe, Devon

This 3 bedroom semi-detached house is a real gem with ample accommodation space, private parking and an enviable rear garden! From the entry hall there is a spacious dual aspect living room to the left with attractive wood burner and french doors leading to the recently renewed rear deck. Beyond the living room is the converted former garage, which now provides an additional reception space / study, utility room with access to the rear garden and a WC. The kitchen and dining room are on the opposite side of the house, with the kitchen featuring modern units, Belfast sink, solid wood work surfaces and an LPG hob. Upstairs are the 3 well proportioned bedrooms, with the primary one being dual aspect and benefiting from a built-in wardrobe.  The recently updated family bathroom with separate shower and bath rounds out the first floor.

The outside space at this property is particularly impressive, and to the front is a private drive and garden with raised beds. To the rear is a large enclosed garden with lawns, recently renewed deck and a workshop with power connected. A small babbling stream borders the northern boundary of the garden, providing a soothing background sound to complement the extensive birdlife and other wildlife in the area. Beyond the rear garden is open countryside with farm fields and woodlands providing a beautiful backdrop for the property.  A small separate garage is located across the road from the property.

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.
