Ford Wood presents a remarkable opportunity for those with a vision to transform a property into their ideal home, nestled on the edge of Dartmoor's expansive wilderness. This versatile dwelling comprises a two-storey cottage paired with a 20th-century bungalow extension and includes cellars with limited headroom. While the roof has been recently upgraded and outdated lead water pipes replaced, the interior requires comprehensive refurbishment and modernization to meet contemporary living standards. The existing layout features three bedrooms, two reception areas, a kitchen, and a bathroom, all complemented by picturesque rural views. Additionally, redevelopment possibilities exist for the site, pending necessary approvals.
Set amidst approximately 3.25 acres of land that includes paddocks, gardens, and woodland, the property boasts direct bridleway access to Dartmoor—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Access is via a gated entrance leading into the paddock and a winding driveway. Large gardens flank the cottage, with potential to expand paddock space as desired. Across the lane lies about 1.25 acres of woodland.
Situated between the charming villages of Sticklepath and South Zeal, Ford Wood offers easy access to local amenities such as primary schools and shops while maintaining a tranquil setting away from busy roads. The town of Okehampton is just 10 minutes away, featuring various retail options and transport links to Exeter and London within easy reach via road or rail.
