Land for sale

Petrockstowe, Okehampton EX20

This site has approval in place to build a large 4 bedroom bungalow, and once completed this property will be one of the most impressive bungalows in the area. With long range views toward Exmoor, a plot in the region of 0.7 acre and accommodation space of nearly 2,200 square feet, this is an outstanding opportunity. This property is ideal for those seeking the potential for a luxurious edge of village / semi-rural property set on a single level that does not compromise on accommodation space. The plans call for four double bedrooms, all with en suites, an office, spacious living room, WC and the showpiece kitchen / diner / family room with pantry and separate utility. We envision this property being finished to a high specification and to command superb sale value when complete.

The property is located at the edge of the North Devon 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 St. Petroc’s church. For outdoor enthusiasts, the 180 mile Tarka Trail and Meet Quarry Nature Reserve are on the doorstep. There is primary schooling available in the nearby village of Merton (2 mi) and town of Hatherleigh (5 mi), and secondary schooling is available in Great Torrington (9 mi) and Okehampton (11 mi). Hatherleigh offers a Coop, doctors’ surgery, cafes, pubs and shops, with both Great Torrington and Okehampton offering a wider range of amenities.

The property will share an entrance with the neighbouring property, which will then split into separate drives for each. The plans include an attached garage along with driveway parking. The plot is approximately 0.7 acre and is gently sloping pasture at present, and it benefits from outstanding long range views.
