Outside, the grounds are equally impressive with its own pond creating a wonderful natural environment with ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The property is entered through a front door into a welcoming entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor. From the hall, there is access to a characterful sitting room, featuring exposed ceiling beams and a striking stone-pointed fireplace with inset wood-burning stove—creating a warm and cosy space to relax and unwind.
Adjacent to the sitting room is the generous dining room, which opens into the kitchen, forming a sociable and versatile living space. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units, has space for a range-style oven, plumbing for white goods, and enjoys lovely views extending down the garden—making it both practical and picturesque. Also on the ground floor is a convenient downstairs cloakroom.
On the first floor, the staircase leads to a central landing area providing access to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and enjoys attractive views over the front elevation. Bedroom two includes houses the airing cupboard, and also enjoys views to the front. The third bedroom is spacious and light, and all are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside
The property is approached via a shared tarmac drive, which continues to the right through double timber gates into the property's own private driveway. To the front of the house there is ample parking and a turning area, ideal for multiple vehicles and easy access.
The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.4 acres and are a true highlight of the property, offering a peaceful, natural setting that complements the surrounding Exmoor countryside. Mainly laid to lawn, the gardens are interspersed with mature trees, established planting, and hedgerow borders that provide both privacy and seasonal interest.
To the front of the house lies a picturesque pond, attractively positioned and easily viewed from within the property. The pond not only serves as a beautiful focal point but also attracts a variety of local wildlife, enhancing the sense of tranquillity and connection with nature. There is ample space for seating areas or terraces to be created, perfect for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings and rural views.
The grounds also offer potential for further landscaping, kitchen gardening, or even the addition of a summerhouse or studio, subject to any necessary permissions.
