Private hilltop estate with panoramic views and strong development potential.
Elevated hilltop position with panoramic Exmoor views
Set on an elevated hilltop with no immediate neighbours, this seven-bedroom detached home occupies about 2.77 acres and enjoys panoramic views towards Exmoor. The current layout provides versatile family accommodation including two ground-floor reception rooms, a large farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room and seven double bedrooms, four with en-suites.
Significant development upside is a genuine strength: planning consent (commenced) exists for a substantial extension and remodelling of the main house, and a separate planning permission (April 2024) covers a four-bedroom detached new build on an adjacent building plot. Further land and woodland are available by separate negotiation, creating scope for an expanded holding or income opportunity.
Practical points to note: the property uses oil-fired heating and a private septic tank, internet speeds are very slow locally, and the EPC rating is E. There is a bore hole on site and extensive outdoor features including an oak-framed outdoor kitchen/entertainment area with hot tub, pizza oven and shower room, plus stables and a manege.
This home will suit buyers drawn to rural privacy, outdoor space and development potential—families wanting long-term flexible accommodation or buyers seeking a renovation/development project with exceptional views and land resources.
