It’s not just a view , it’s a whole landscape…ranging over the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument in the distance, across the end of the valley and west out to glimpses of Exmoor. And such big skies! Both inside and out, we have created spaces where we can sit and enjoy glimpses of the views, landscaping the garden in particular to be able to choose spots to follow the sun, and watch stunning sunsets. And, of course, the view ever changes with the seasons. Plenty of places for calm and quiet working or dreaming, but also great entertaining space. Having family and friends over for barbeques or pizza nights on the deck overlooking the pool, or, on colder nights, all together in the big kitchen for tray-bakes, followed by gathering in cosy rooms around the fires…and on warm summer evenings the big skies turn to dark skies, no light pollution, so plenty of stargazing, competing to find the constellations… Services Shared septic tank for all of the properties Mains water and electricity Oil fired central heating Broadband is currently sourced via Starlink.

The private heated swimming pool enjoys spectacular views towards Wellington Monument and is complemented by a hot tub and a dedicated pool house and home office with a wet room, the perfect place to either host parties or unwind and make the most of the very best weather. Vehicular access through the courtyard, past the cottages and main house, leads directly to the land and outbuildings. Conveniently located close to the house are well-maintained stables for both ponies and horses, along with a secure store/tack room and workshop. Nearby, a turnout yard includes additional field shelters, while a track continues past an orchard to a useful pole barn and further shelter. This area opens onto two enclosed paddocks, together with an additional enclosure featuring a wildlife pond. A double carport is located opposite the farm house and there is an additional garage/workshop in the courtyard. The large field is currently rented to a neighbouring owner who keeps alpacas and has some adjoining land, and we understand they would be happy to continue this arrangement if desired. Sellers Insight Within moments of walking in through the back door, we were hooked, turning to see the first hint of the great views, framed by the Tudor inspired arch…. What is so surprising is that you get no inkling at all as you drive to the house, or from the outside. It’s only when you get to see the other side you get to appreciate the magic of what the elevated position gives. It’s not just a view , it’s a whole landscape…ranging over the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument in the distance, across the end of the valley and west out to glimpses of Exmoor. And such big skies! Both inside and out, we have created spaces where we can sit and enjoy glimpses of the views, landscaping the garden in particular to be able to choose spots to follow the sun, and watch stunning sunsets. And, of course, the view ever changes with the seasons. Plenty of places for calm and quiet working or dreaming, but also great entertaining space. Having family and friends over for barbeques or pizza nights on the deck overlooking the pool, or, on colder nights, all together in the big kitchen for tray-bakes, followed by gathering in cosy rooms around the fires…and on warm summer evenings the big skies turn to dark skies, no light pollution, so plenty of stargazing, competing to find the constellations… Services Shared septic tank for all of the properties Mains water and electricity Oil fired central heating Broadband is currently sourced via Starlink.
