Set on approximately 6.81 acres within Exmoor National Park, this spacious six-bedroom detached house combines countryside seclusion with practical outbuildings and extensive parking. The principal rooms enjoy wide, uninterrupted rural views; a dual-aspect living room with woodburning stove and an adjoining dining room both take full advantage of the elevated position. Large gardens, a productive vegetable patch, a barn and paddock create strong potential for smallholding or equestrian use.
The house has useful modern energy features — solar PV and an air-source heat pump — alongside an oil-fired AGA and boiler serving radiators. Accommodation is arranged over two storeys with six bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate shower room, plus ground-floor cloakroom, utility and pantry. A double garage and sweeping driveway provide generous parking for visitors and vehicles.
Important: the property is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC). Occupation is restricted to those employed in agriculture/horticulture/forestry (or retired/dependent of such a person). Prospective buyers must confirm eligibility or secure necessary consents before purchase; independent legal or planning advice is recommended. Additionally, drainage is to a septic tank, broadband speeds are limited (up to c.38 Mbps download), and the property dates from the 1950s–1960s, so buyers should expect period maintenance and possible modernisation in parts.
Offered by motivated sellers, this home will suit someone who can meet the AOC criteria or obtain consent — ideal as a family farmhouse, smallholding or rural retreat for those wanting immediate access to Exmoor’s walking, riding and wildlife. The combination of sizeable land, barn and panoramic views makes it a rare opportunity in a protected landscape, provided the occupancy conditions are satisfied.
