Description
Occupying an enviable position on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, Oaken Cottage offers the perfect blend of timeless character and modern efficiency, surrounded by some of Devon's most spectacular countryside. With the Granite Way just a short stroll away and the thriving market towns of Okehampton and Tavistock within easy reach, the property enjoys the best of both worlds. Excellent transport links include the nearby A30 dual carriageway and Okehampton Railway Station, providing swift connections to Exeter, Cornwall and beyond by both road and rail.
Steeped in history and believed to date back to the 18th century, this enchanting cottage is brimming with period charm. An impressive inglenook fireplace with substantial granite surrounds and twin cloam bread ovens forms the heart of the sitting room, while a wood-burning stove creates a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere within the spacious kitchen/dining/family room.
Beautifully arranged to suit modern family living, the accommodation offers five/six generous bedrooms, including a ground floor bedroom/Study with an adjacent shower room, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs are five further bedrooms together with a luxurious family bathroom featuring a classic roll-top bath and separate shower. The ground floor also boasts four versatile reception rooms, while the superb kitchen/dining room is fitted with an electric Esse range, integrated dishwasher, double Belfast sink and adjoining utility room.
Sympathetically modernised for today's lifestyle, Oaken Cottage has benefited from substantial investment in energy efficiency, including an extensive photovoltaic solar array and a modern air source heat pump, replacing the former oil-fired central heating system. Combined with double glazing throughout and the comforting warmth of the wood-burning stoves, the property successfully blends period character with the practicality and efficiency expected of contemporary living.
The gardens are every bit as captivating as the cottage itself. A private driveway provides ample parking, while beautifully established gardens offer an array of peaceful seating areas to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the surrounding countryside. A charming summerhouse, currently used as a home office, provides valuable additional space, while expansive lawns, a treehouse, timber play equipment and children's play area create a wonderful setting for family life, all enclosed by traditional Devon hedging and fencing for privacy and seclusion.
