About this property

This period detached cottage is on the outskirts of the village of Exford, in the Exmoor National Park, in North Somerset. Ideal for countryside lovers, horse riders and families looking for a break from their day to day busy life, this charming cottage offers peace and quiet within a short stroll of the friendly village pub and shop. The cottage feels warm, welcoming and is beautifully presented. The character features including a large inglenook fireplace and oak beams throughout remind you of its age, and the modern touches of the range cooker, Smart TV and WiFi access, make it a high quality property.

The cosy kitchen leads through to the dining area, a sociable area for family mealtimes and the patio doors mean that on fine evenings it is a joy to spread into the pretty garden for drinks, relaxing and listening to the birds. The night skies on Exmoor are a magical show of stars as it was designated the first Dark Sky Reserve in Europe. After a bit of stargazing, a night in front of the woodburner will warm you ready for a comfy night. On the ground floor there is an additional snug with woodburner and sofa bed, ideal for teenagers or anyone wanting to avoid the stairs, and there is a ground floor shower room for their convenience.
