Okehampton, Devon

Nestled within the peaceful and highly sought-after village of Bratton Clovelly, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of period charm and practical modern living. With two characterful reception rooms, exposed beams, and two inglenook fireplaces — including one housing a cosy wood-burning stove and the other featuring a traditional bread oven — this is a property brimming with warmth and personality.


From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a picturesque frontage, with a charming stone wall and well-stocked cottage-style garden that sets the tone for what lies beyond. A traditional gate opens into the garden and leads you along a pretty path to the front door, where you enter into a striking hallway. With painted floorboards, exposed beams, and a bright, airy atmosphere, this welcoming space gives an immediate sense of the home’s unique style and thoughtful design.


To one side of the hall, the living room offers a superb space to relax, with a feature inglenook fireplace, exposed stonework and a wealth of character. To the other side, the spacious dining room is ideal for entertaining, with its own fireplace, complete with bread oven, and a seamless flow into the kitchen. The kitchen itself is light and well-appointed, with views over the garden and a layout that maximises both practicality and charm.


Upstairs, the home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own character, including exposed beams and traditional-style windows that frame views over the surrounding village rooftops and countryside beyond. The main bedroom is particularly spacious, while the third bedroom makes for a perfect guest room, nursery, or home office. There are also two bathrooms upstairs (one en-suite), offering both a bath and a generous separate shower, ensuring comfort and convenience for a family or visiting guests.


Outside, the property continues to impress. To the rear, a delightful garden unfolds into a peaceful and private haven. Beautifully planted with mature shrubs and flowers, it offers a tranquil space to unwind or potter. There’s also a large timber studio/workshop for storage or creative use, a generous greenhouse, and a private well — adding a touch of traditional charm and excellent practicality for gardening or self-sufficient living, especially useful during hosepipe bans.
