About five acres of pastureland and paddocks
A rare equestrian holding on the edge of Exford within Exmoor National Park, Monks Cleeve sits in about five acres of pasture with an American barn, four looseboxes, tack room and large manege/parking area. The main house is a substantial mid‑20th century detached home with four bedrooms (three ensuite), a conservatory, wood burner and wide views across moorland. Opposite sits a self‑contained one‑bed bungalow with private garden, currently used as a holiday let and offering immediate rental or multi‑generational use.
This is a practical, working property: oil‑fired central heating, private water supply (well/borehole) and septic tank drainage, plus a water filtration/pump room and useful outbuildings including log storage. The site is well laid out for horses and small livestock, with direct access from the barn to paddocks and a secure, level garden for the bungalow. Excellent mobile signal and low local crime add to rural convenience.
Considerations: the principal house dates from the 1950s–60s and has cavity walls with assumed no added insulation; the building will therefore benefit from energy upgrades. Broadband speeds are limited relative to urban areas. Council Tax is Band F (expensive) and the fuel is oil rather than mains gas. The property is sold freehold and in a largely rural, remote setting — ideal for country living but less convenient for frequent commuting.
For buyers seeking an established equestrian base, holiday‑let income or a multi‑dwelling country home with scope for upgrading, Monks Cleeve offers immediate utility and long‑term potential. The combination of substantial pasture, ready‑to‑use stabling and separate accommodation makes it a versatile purchase for families, small commercial equestrian operations or those wanting a rural retreat with income possibilities.
