Whistlewind is a substantial four-bedroom detached farmhouse set in about 4.60 acres within Exmoor National Park, offering exceptional privacy, sweeping valley and pond views, and direct access to walking country. The house combines period character — exposed beams and granite walls — with generous modern living spaces including a large open-plan kitchen/diner, dual-aspect sitting room and principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling, balcony and en-suite.
The grounds are a key asset: five ponds and woodland to the front, paddocks and a timber stable block to the rear, plus a partially built studio/gym with water connected. The holding already functions as a small residential smallholding or equestrian property and will suit buyers wanting countryside seclusion with practical outbuildings and riding/grazing land.
Buyers should note a handful of practical drawbacks: the oil boiler is currently disconnected, heating relies on the AGA for hot water, and the house uses a private water supply and private drainage. The property is older construction with stone walls likely uninsulated in places and an EPC rating of D; some systems and fittings may need updating. Council tax is in band E and the plot’s size and layout will require ongoing maintenance.
Overall, Whistlewind offers a rare combination of space, privacy and scope for smallholding or lifestyle uses. It will particularly appeal to families or buyers seeking equestrian potential and substantial outdoor space, who are prepared to manage an older rural property’s maintenance and servicing needs.
