On the edge of Exmoor National Park, it’s perfect for those wishing to walk or cycle this awe-inspiring landscape.

This charming and spacious former farm building, approached by a private driveway, is situated on the edge of a working farm, nestled in the corner of an open field amongst open countryside and farmland. Upon entering the beautiful accommodation, you are greeted with a light and airy open-plan lounge/diner with rugged exposed beams and a timber floor. In the summer you can open the doors to the sun-trap garden to let the outside in, or in the cooler months snuggle up on the comfy sofa in front of the wood burner while watching your favourite programme on the Smart TV. This room flows through to the perfectly equipped kitchen, a great space for cooking lazy breakfasts or trying out new recipes. There is also a utility/boot room with a washing machine, ideal for storing muddy boots after a walk in the countryside, or drying muddy paws. Head upstairs from the lounge/diner to the spacious master bedroom, complete with super-king-size bed, a spectacular vaulted ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling window boasting gorgeous countryside views. There is a luxury en-suite bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower.
Outside you’ll find a large, enclosed garden with far-reaching countryside views, great for both you and your four-legged friends to relax in. On the patio you’ll find a table and chairs, sun loungers and a charcoal BBQ as well a hot tub - which is particularly inviting at night, when guests can enjoy the warm, bubbling water under the star-filled skies.
