4 bed detached house for sale

Exton, Dulverton TA22

We are pleased to offer to the market this well presented and spacious four bedroom detached period home. Church Cottage is a spacious and characterful four-bedroom period home, peacefully nestled in an elevated position within the picturesque village of Exton. Overlooking the village church and enjoying far-reaching views across the beautiful Exmoor countryside, this charming cottage offers a rare opportunity for refurbishment and personalisation. Believed to date back to the 1800s, the property retains a wealth of original features including two inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, and a pair of traditional bread ovens. Over the years, it has been thoughtfully extended and now provides flexible accommodation with considerable scope to create a unique country home.

The cottage is approached via a no-through road and opens into a wide hallway. From here, there is access to a converted garage/workshop and a generous, light-filled reception room, ideal as a second sitting room, studio, or home office. The heart of the home is a large, farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room, complete with exposed beams, countryside views, and a feature fireplace housing a log burner. This leads on to a spacious main sitting room, again with views over the church and another impressive inglenook fireplace with a second log burner. From here, a back porch provides access to the parking area beside the cottage.

Upstairs, the main section of the house comprises three double bedrooms, a well-proportioned single bedroom, and a family bathroom. The second bedroom features a large walk-in cupboard with the potential to be converted into an en suite. A separate landing leads to a further, expansive room filled with natural light, incorporating a kitchenette, a bathroom, a double bedroom, and a conservatory opening directly onto the garden. This self-contained space could easily function as an independent annexe or, alternatively, serve as a luxurious master suite.

Outside, Church Cottage benefits from a private lawned garden to the rear, bordered by open sheep fields, offering complete seclusion and a tranquil outlook. A pathway runs from the garden down the side of the house, linking directly to the designated parking area. With its idyllic setting, historical charm, and immense potential, Church Cottage is a rare find in this highly sought-after part of Exmoor.

Dulverton, just 6 miles away, offers excellent day-to-day amenities including a post office, chemist, medical centre, churches, and recreational facilities such as tennis and squash courts, a cricket pitch, and a town hall. The area also boasts excellent dining and community spirit, with unrivalled access to walking and riding across the glorious Exmoor National Park.
