3 Bed Cottage in Skilgate

About this property

Refined details and a premium finish are evident throughout this charming two-storey cottage, making it a perfect space for families, friends or couples. Decorated in an Old English style, it is equipped with quality features throughout. The property sits on the edge of Exmoor National Park (4.5 miles) and the Brendon Hills, promising a never-ending array of incredible daily walks or bike rides, with stunning scenery leading the way. Step out in search of the Coleridge Way, a long-distance Somerset and Devon walking route that captures many of the area’s highlights, including Exmoor and the Quantock Hills (16 miles). Drive to the Somerset town of Taunton (17.5 miles)—a town with beautiful architecture and a towering minster—or make your way to the coast, enjoying golden sands at Minehead (16 miles) or Blue Anchor Beach (13.5 miles).

Despite its contemporary renovation, original beams, stable doors and wooden trusses have been preserved throughout this cottage, creating a perfect balance between the traditional and the new. Kick off your coats and boots in the entranceway and make your way through the ground floor. One highlight is the stunning library, where shelves filled with books line the walls, while armchairs and desk areas invite you to take a pause and enjoy a moment of reflection. Continue through to the first lounge area, a stylish room with comfy sofas, a woodburner and a smart TV, followed by a second lounge space at the back of the house, where more seating and a larger smart TV promise unforgettable movie nights. The kitchen features ornate tiling and pastel-coloured cabinets that lend the space a quirky charm, with a breakfast table for easy dining, plus French doors providing access to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a fully tiled bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. A second bathroom is located upstairs—this time with just a walk-in shower—but finished with the same modern tiling. Also on the first floor, discover three delightful bedrooms decorated in soft tones and sumptuous linens. All three are double rooms, each framing wonderful countryside views in every direction.

Admire those rural views a little closer from the enclosed garden, a stunning space with grassy lawns and plenty of outdoor seating. Dine at the outdoor dining table or relax on the sun loungers in the paved patio area. At the front of the property, private parking is provided for two cars.
