Situation
Oakdene is situated within Dartmoor National Park between Hennock and Teign Village towards the eastern side of the moor overlooking the Teign Valley. Hennock is a quiet, peaceful small village clustered around its 13th century church, primary school and a 16th century pub and lies close to the beauty spots of the Kennick and Tottiford reservoirs. Dartmoor itself offers hundreds of square miles of outstanding landscape with a wide array of activities available from walking, riding, and cycling amongst others. Bovey Tracey is located 3.8 miles away, Newton Abbot 8.2 miles with its railway station and larger facilities, and the Cathedral City of Exeter 16 miles with its rail and motorway links as well as the airport.

Description
Oakdene has had many guises over the years and was operated as a plant nursery just before the current owners purchased it in 2010. It is currently just used as a private residence but has potential for a variety of uses. The house was completed in 2007 and sits in a peaceful location below the main village. It is of cavity construction with the exterior being of reclaimed, hand-chiselled limestone under a handmade slate roof with mature and attractive gardens surrounding and some excellent views. The main yard offers a Garage/Workshop, a detached 370 sq meter multi-roomed shed with planning to replace it with a 167 sq meter three bedroom bungalow, and a series of polytunnels.

Accommodation


Outside
From the initial shared turn-in a private hedge and tree lined drive runs up past some of the gardens to the front of the house and into the main yard. The gardens are a particularly attractive feature surrounding the main house with areas of level lawn mainly to the rear of the house and garage, gravelled pathways and a good size pond, all with a riot of colour and well planned planting of a variety of shrubs, flowers and trees. It provides a quiet and secluded seating out area. The lower garden closest to the council lane is uncultivated but offers a blank canvas for further areas of garden or to cultivate a vegetable patch. The main yard is sizeable and provides parking for numerous vehicles and provides access to the various buildings and structures;
