Thorndon Cross, Okehampton, EX20

With parts dating back to the 15th Century, this stunning Grade II Listed country house offers space, charm and character throughout. Believed to have originally been thatched, the house now sits under a tiled roof, but still boasts a range of delightful features such as exposed beams, cruck frames and inglenook fireplaces. Sitting in approximately 4 acres of grounds and gardens in a quiet rural location, this charming property offers a peaceful retreat away from it all! The property is under 10 minutes’ drive to both the A30 corridor as well as the bustling town of Okehampton which offers a wide range of local amenities and three supermarkets including a Waitrose. From Okehampton you can travel by rail to Exeter and from there connect on to London. Dartmoor National Park is on the doorstep, and the beautiful beaches of the north coast are about a 35 minute drive away. Inside the house are three characterful reception rooms, with wooden and stone floors, original wooden beams and charming nooks and cupboards throughout. The ‘breakfast room’ complete with Aga leads through to the galley style kitchen, which spans the back of the house. Upstairs are 4 beautiful bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, and one, which if combined with the existing open plan kitchen/living room below, can be split off as a separate annexe. A sweeping driveway leads up to the expansive gravelled frontage, offering parking for multiple vehicles. There are two useful barns and a vibrant pond set across from the farmhouse. The gardens to the rear have been landscaped, and there is a charming octagonal summer house to enjoy. Tucked away from the main garden is a cedar lodge, which overlooks the paddock and hills beyond, and could be a fantastic studio, office or workshop – with a view! The fenced paddocks slope down to the large pond which could host wildlife and waterfowl or even fish, and there is a small field shelter perfect for sheep or storage, the choice is yours!
