Ground-floor triple-aspect bedroom with separate entrance (annexe potential)

Set within Exmoor National Park, Evenlode is an attractive early 20th‑century detached house offering versatile accommodation over two floors. The layout includes three reception rooms, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus fitted kitchen, utility and useful outbuildings. Its mature, secluded gardens, stream border and large driveway create a private rural setting with ample parking and a detached garage/workshop.
The property has strong period character—high ceilings, exposed doors, stained glass, original fireplaces and stripped timber floors—paired with practical upgrades such as double glazing and roof-mounted solar PV. A ground-floor triple-aspect bedroom with its own entrance works well as an annexe, home office or holiday-let suite. The garden has a variety of specimen plants, an African Breeze house, greenhouse and access to a wooded area with ponds.
Buyers should note practical issues: the house is oil‑heated (Rayburn and oil boiler) and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, so energy costs and retrofit work will be factors. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the remoter village location. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall, the home suits families seeking rural character, buyers wanting dual‑occupancy or holiday‑let potential, and those prepared to update services and insulation over time.
