Property description
The complete package? Characterful detached house, double garage, large agricultural barn (with power and water), gardens and paddocks extending to approx. 6 acres and with a stunning rural outlook to Dartmoor.
Located on a quiet country lane, close to the ever popular Tarka Trail walking route, a circular 163 route based on the Henry Williamson’s much loved novel, “Tarka the Otter”, this neatly packaged small holding is sure to attract a variety of buyers. From the gardens and land, there are far reaching, uninterrupted views to Dartmoor over the surrounding countryside.
The house is detached and has an individual feel with numerous extensions being added over the years. It now boasts 3 bedrooms (one ensuite), a large living room, dining room and kitchen with the addition of a large walk in pantry, utility and a useful wc/boot room close to the front door. It benefits from oil fired central heating and uPVC double glazing.
Immediately outside the house is a gated driveway leading to a detached double garage and plenty of off-road parking. The gardens are well presented having been created by the current owners and offer easily accessible level lawned areas with separate areas for a large chicken run, vegetable patch and an amenity area with chalet and log store. There are a couple of stables in one of the smaller paddocks. The land which in all extends to approx. 6 acres has been laid out into a couple of smaller paddocks and a couple of larger ones, post and rail fencing is in place but could easily be changed depending on preferred layout. There is a large yard which has separate lane access and double gates which gives access to additional parking/storage but is predominantly used for rearing sheep. A large agricultural barn, again set-up for sheep breeding/rearing is in situ with mains power and water. This barn and yard area would suit a number of uses and isn’t limited to livestock or equestrian.
DIRECTIONS From Crediton, head on the A377 through Copplestone and onto Morchard Road. Turn left on the B3220 to Winkleigh. Take the first left as you reach Winkleigh as signed to North Tawton and after approx. 400m, turn right as signed to Monkokehampton and Hatherleigh. Continue straight up the hill, turning left at the top and immediately left into Hatherleigh Road. Continue on this road for approx. 3.4 miles until reaching Monkokehamton. When you reach the junction at the start of the village, take the first right signed to Iddesleigh. Continue for approx. 1.1 miles and take a left turn at Waldons Cross signed to Meeth. After 0.4 miles, at the crossroads, turn left and Netherleigh is immediately on your right.
WINKLEIGH is a gem, concealed deep within the rise and fall of the Mid Devon hills. As far as villages go it is quite large and has a strong communal atmosphere, whilst still retaining many of its unique traditions (including an annual 750 year old country fayre). Winkleigh has many facilities, including: 2 pubs, a post office, general stores, a butchers, a fishmongers, a vets, a doctor’s surgery, mechanics garage, a primary school, a chapel, sports centre, village hall and community hall…certainly enough to satisfy. For history enthusiasts the village is home to the ruins of two 12th Century castles – the only village in Devon that is. The closest supermarkets are in the town of Okehampton about 11 miles away, where access to the A30 dual carriageway is also found (a direct route to Exeter).
