Hidden away in a wooded valley, deep in the heart of Exmoor National Park, this five-bedroom property is the ultimate rural retreat. Set within 385 acres, there are breathtaking walks in every direction. On the banks of the River Barle, the lively market town of Dulverton is lined with over 40 independent shops, some charming tearooms, and a fantastic selection of award-winning pubs and restaurants. Explore the surrounding steeply wooded valley where the River Barle meets the River Exe by taking a gentle walk through Burridge Wood 5.5 miles away via the pretty Marsh Bridge, and spot otters along your journey. Right on your doorstep less than half a mile away, discover the iconic prehistoric clapper bridge at Tarr Steps, the longest of its kind in Britain. Enjoy the fantastic range of water sports, walking and cycling trails winding around the 530-acre site of Wimbleball Lake, 9.5 miles away.
A generous entrance hallway welcomes you into the property and leads into a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, kitted out with everything you may need to cater as well as a large dining table with a set of wooden chairs and a bench. You’ll find another formal dining table set in the cosy lounge, complemented by plenty of comfy seating, a TV, wonderful views over the garden and a gorgeous wood burner housed within a stone inglenook fireplace. A lower-level snug room with a sofa and TV provides another peaceful spot to relax. The rest of the ground floor comprises a utility room and a shower room. Accessed via two separate staircases, the first floor features a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, plus a further double, a king-size, a twin and a single bedroom, all as lovingly furnished as the rest of the property.
Outside, a large, enclosed lawn awaits, with plenty of mature planting, hedges and trees that children will love exploring. Surrounded by far-reaching countryside views, this is the perfect spot to gather for a BBQ before journeying through a neighbouring shared lawn to reach a peaceful lake.
