A beautifully presented traditional property on the edge of Withypool village with gardens, a paddock, American barn and close to the open moorland. EPC: E.

Situation - Hill Cottage is in a wonderful position on the edge of the very popular village of Withypool and within a few minutes’ walk of the open moorland. Withypool, which is part of what is known as the golden triangle of Exmoor has a church, village hall, village store, tea rooms and post office and the Royal Oak Inn.

Nearby Dulverton and South Molton offer an excellent choice of day to day amenities including schooling, a wide variety of shops, banking facilities and churches. The county town of Taunton, 30 miles away, has extensive retail and commercial facilities, together with three independent schools and the Somerset County Cricket Ground. There is access to the M5 motorway (Junction 25) and a main line station with fast trains to London Paddington and the North.

Description - Hill Cottage is a charming and traditional south-facing residence, thoughtfully presented and offering exceptional privacy. A striking wisteria covering the walls, while a generous sunny terrace provides a wonderful outdoor space, with steps leading up to the garden and summerhouse. The property is further enhanced by a barn housing two American-style stables, a turnout paddock, a double garage, and extensive parking facilities. Its superb setting, with easy access to expansive open moorland, makes it particularly appealing for those interested in equestrian use or enjoying scenic walks.

Accommodation - The front entrance opens into a covered porch, which then leads through to the main hallway where the staircase rises to the first floor. The sitting room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, featuring a multi-fuel inset fireplace with a marble surround. Beyond this lies an elegant, dual-aspect drawing room, also benefitting from a multi-fuel inset fire set within a Chesney marble surround. A door from the dining room opens into the kitchen, which is fitted with an Aga, along with a generous selection of wall and base units. The kitchen is further supported by a walk-in pantry and a separate utility room. Adjacent to the side entrance of the kitchen is an additional external door providing access to a substantial attached office. This versatile space is suitable for office use, storage or utility purposes and includes a door leading out to the courtyard.
