Sweetlands presents a considerable opportunity for those looking to invest in a spacious, five-bedroom Devon period property, complete with a detached annexe and numerous outbuildings that hold development potential. The expansive grounds cover approximately 2.2 acres, featuring both a garden and paddock that can cater to various uses. Located on the outskirts of Okehampton in a charming rural setting, this property offers captivating views and is available without any chain from motivated sellers.
Spanning 3,511 sq ft across two floors, this detached family home combines modern convenience with distinctive period elements such as exposed stone walls and original fireplaces. While the current owners have maintained the property well—with features like a new water treatment plant and boiler—the interior could benefit from some upgrading to maximize its potential.
The layout includes a generous sitting room that flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen/family area, enhanced by ample natural light from French doors leading to the terrace. The first floor hosts five double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite facilities and additional bedrooms featuring unique mezzanine levels.
The annexe has been tastefully refurbished, offering additional living space or rental income possibilities with two bedrooms and a contemporary kitchen/living area.
Numerous outbuildings include a sizeable barn ripe for conversion (subject to permissions), alongside a partially built one-bedroom chalet—an exciting prospect for creating further accommodation or enhancing outdoor leisure activities.
The property's extensive grounds not only provide privacy but also offer potential for equestrian use or other agricultural pursuits. With proximity to Okehampton's amenities and excellent transport links—including access to Exeter via Okehampton station—this property stands as an inviting canvas for renovation enthusiasts or investors seeking to capitalize on its diverse features.
