Sticklepath, Okehampton

Nestled in the heart of the ever-popular village of Sticklepath, this charming two-bedroom thatched cottage is brimming with character and offers a wonderful blend of period features and modern convenience. Believed to date back several centuries, the property exudes charm from the moment you arrive, with its attractive thatched roof and cottage-style proportions, perfectly suited to village life on the edge of Dartmoor.

The front door opens into a welcoming living/dining room, a warm and characterful space that forms the heart of the home. Generous in size, this room offers ample space for both relaxing and entertaining, with exposed features, deep-set windows and an abundance of natural light creating a cosy yet airy atmosphere. It’s an ideal space to unwind at the end of the day or to gather with friends and family.

Leading from the living area is the kitchen, which, while compact, is thoughtfully laid out and perfectly functional. The kitchen offers everything required for day-to-day living, with fitted units, worktop space and room for appliances, all complemented by the cottage’s inherent charm. A rear door provides convenient access outside, ideal for bringing in shopping or enjoying the surrounding village setting.

The ground floor also benefits from a separate WC, a practical addition rarely found in cottages of this age, enhancing everyday convenience.

Stairs rise to the first floor where two bedrooms and the bathroom can be found. The principal bedroom is a lovely, light-filled room with plenty of character and space for bedroom furniture. The second bedroom is also well-proportioned, making it ideal as a guest room, child’s bedroom or home office.

The bathroom has been tastefully modernised and features a contemporary walk-in shower, providing a stylish and practical contrast to the property’s traditional features. Finished with modern fittings, it offers comfort and convenience while remaining in keeping with the overall feel of the home.

Outside, the cottage sits within easy reach of Sticklepath’s excellent local amenities, including its well-regarded village shop, pub and access to stunning countryside walks. The village is particularly well placed for those seeking a balance between rural living and accessibility, with nearby Okehampton providing a wider range of shops, schooling and transport links.

This delightful thatched cottage would make an ideal main residence, weekend retreat or investment opportunity, offering character, location and charm in equal measure — a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful home in one of Devon’s most sought-after villages.
