What EX20 covers
EX20 is far larger than a London outward code in geographic spread. Okehampton is the main town. Villages such as Sticklepath, South Zeal, Exbourne, Northlew and Lydford sit in the same district but can be fifteen to twenty minutes’ drive apart with limited buses.
If you searched “ex20” after seeing it on a listing, open the full postcode on a map before you assume you are buying “in Okehampton”.

Living practicalities on the Dartmoor fringe
Buyers move here for space, landscape and quieter living. Trade offs include longer drives for big shops, darker lanes, and heating costs in older stone cottages. Check EPC early. Oil, solid fuel or older electric heating still appears in rural stock.
Okehampton’s restored rail link improved access toward Exeter for some households. Measure the drive to the station from your candidate postcode rather than celebrating the district name.

How to research an EX20 purchase
Compare sold prices only with similar nearby homes (town terrace vs isolated cottage). Ask your surveyor about damp, radon awareness in Devon where relevant, and private drainage on village plots. Order the title register for boundaries and rights of way, which matter more in rural titles.
