Meeth, Okehampton, Devon, EX20

This cobb and rendered house under a pitched tiled roof is a property where space, character and potential come together particularly well. Extending to approximately 2,000sq ft the accommodation is arranged across two floors and provides generous proportions that could suit family life, entertaining and those looking for a home with room to evolve.
The reception hall introduces the older character of the building, with slate slab floor, overpainted stone wall and timber details visible within the interior. From here, the principal ground floor rooms offer three distinct reception spaces. The drawing room is especially generous and features a woodblock floor and an impressive stone inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove and herringbone design brick back, creating a memorable focal point. The dining room with its large stone fireplace with inset deep bressumer provides another substantial room for gathering and entertaining, while the family room offers further flexibility for everyday living once finished.
The kitchen/breakfast room is supported by a separate pantry and store, giving the ground floor a practical arrangement alongside its more traditional character. A boiler room provides additional utility space. The photographs clearly show that parts of the accommodation would benefit from updating and improvement, giving a purchaser the opportunity to refresh the house while working with its existing stonework, timber features and generous proportions.
On the first floor, a broad and interesting landing arrangement connects five bedrooms. The largest bedroom is particularly spacious, while the remaining rooms provide flexibility for family accommodation, guests or home working. Character continues upstairs, with exposed timber detailing, traditional doors and a stone fireplace visible within the accommodation. Rounding off the accommodation is a bathroom with separate WC.

Outside, the property is set within grounds of about 1.5 acres. These include areas of formal garden and woodland, giving the setting a strong sense of space and connection with the surrounding countryside. A former shippen and barn add another dimension, providing useful ancillary buildings and potential for alternative uses or possible further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

For buyers prepared to undertake improvement works, the combination of substantial accommodation, approximately 1.5 acres, established character and outbuildings creates an unusual opportunity within this regarded village.
