Set on just over 11 acres within Exmoor National Park, this spacious four-bedroom detached house has been recently refurbished to a high standard and extends to about 3,351 sq ft. Principal rooms face south to capture wide panoramic moorland views across the Barle Valley. The house combines period proportions and high ceilings with modern measures: a ground-source heat pump, PV solar array and double glazing. EPC rating C.
The property is configured around a wide entrance hall, large drawing room with wood burner and bay window, separate dining room with terrace access, a granite‑worktop kitchen with solid fuel range and practical utility/boot rooms. Upstairs provides four double bedrooms, including a principal suite with dressing area, shower and bathroom. Detached double garage, workshop and covered walkway add useful ground-floor circulation.
This is a genuinely equestrian-ready holding: five loose boxes, foaling and wash boxes, tack room, hay barn, large agricultural barn, all‑weather ménage and well‑fenced pasture paddocks. There is a former stable building with potential for reinstatement or conversion subject to consents. The grounds are immaculate and the property includes grazing rights on Withypool Common — ideal for a family seeking privacy, riding access and broad outdoor amenity.
Important practical points: mains electricity but private water and drainage; the main heating system still includes oil boiler and radiators despite the GSHP installation; council tax is described as quite expensive. Fixed-line broadband in the area is very slow, although mobile broadband (EE), Airband and Starlink are available locally and PV/GSHP currently produce tariff incomes.
