4 bed detached house for sale

Lewdown, Okehampton, Devon EX20

A wonderful, south facing barn conversion located off a private lane with spectacular gardens expanding to 0.39 acres. 'Stable Cottage' is a detached four-bedroom property with a level driveway, garage, and really needs to be seen to be appreciated.

We are pleased to market this detached, four-bedroom barn conversion located in the small village of Lewdown on the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park. 'Stable Cottage' benefits from a level driveway, garage, and beautiful mature gardens all extending to circa 0.39 acres.

Available for the first time in over 30 years, this well-maintained property offers a fantastic opportunity for a family or keen gardener alike. The property is approached via a private lane shared by three properties, with gates that open onto a level driveway with ample parking for 3/4 cars. The property is well positioned within the plot to allow privacy from neighbouring houses and is orientated to make the most of the southerly aspect and views across the garden.

The front door is located to the side of the house which opens into the central hall with windows to the front. The hall affords half turn stairs to the first floor, and a separate cloakroom. The generous, dual aspect living room is located on the east side of the property and enjoys French doors opening onto the patio and a multi-fuel stove. The charming, country style kitchen is located on the other side of the hall in the oldest part of the building, originally 18th century stables, featuring a quarry tile floor, exposed beams and oak lintels over the windows. A large opening leads you into the sun room, a later addition, which is a superb place to enjoy the views across the gardens. This is a very versatile space that has previously served as a day room, office and entertaining/dining space. A door from the kitchen opens into a useful utility/workshop that links the house with the garage.

On the first floor, you are welcomed by a bright landing with window overlooking the garden and an airing cupboard. The principal bedroom is characterful, enjoys dormer windows overlooking the gardens, and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is also a good size and enjoys a dual aspect with more garden views. The third and fourth bedrooms are smaller doubles. The main bathroom has recently been rearranged as a wet room, however could easily accommodate a bath and separate shower.

Outside, the mature gardens slope very gently away from the house to the boundary. The gardens have been beautifully maintained and offer a fantastic display in the spring and summer months. The garden has been thoughtfully laid out and has a wonderful selection of spaces to explore, including the remains of a historic walled garden. Level lawns provide plenty of space for children to play, and patios offer a perfect spot to sit and enjoy the sunshine. There is a variety of trees including Japanese Maples, Yew, Rowan, Apple and Pear dotted throughout the garden and a well-established Wisteria spreads across the main house. At the bottom of the garden, a foot gate opens directly onto the village green which is another lovely feature.

The property is serviced by mains electricity, water, and drainage. The heating and hot water system are oil fired by a boiler located off the utility/workshop.
