Summary - WESTGATE COTTAGES 1 SIMONSBATH MINEHEAD TA24 7SN
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Equestrian-ready home with paddocks, stables and sweeping valley views.
- Renovated 3-bedroom Exmoor cottage with open-plan living
Set in the heart of Exmoor National Park, this renovated 3-bedroom cottage combines traditional character with practical equestrian facilities. The open-plan living and dining area with a log-burning stove creates a warm, social hub, while three comfortable bedrooms enjoy wide countryside and valley views.
For horse owners or smallholders, the property is rare: approx. 1.53 acres divided into two paddocks, with stables and direct access to established riding and walking trails. A gated driveway and substantial off-street parking make arrival easy despite the hamlet setting.
Buyers should note some practical constraints: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, services include private water supply and drainage, and broadband speeds are very slow. The cottage sits in a remote, low-crime area within a national park, which suits those seeking tranquillity but can mean longer journeys for services and schooling.
EPC Band F indicates lower energy performance despite recent renovations; further energy improvements could both reduce running costs and enhance comfort. Overall, this home is a strong choice for families or equestrian buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in rural base with scope to improve energy efficiency and further personalise the property.
