1 The Coach House

About this property

Located inside the Exmoor National Park, the principal part of this stunning converted Georgian coach house is perfect for a family retreat to the Somerset coastline. Explore Exmoor and the ancient parish of Nettlecombe from the doorstep, hunt for fossils along Somerset’s Jurassic coast or take a steam-train ride on the West Somerset Railway. Visit Cleeve Abbey, an ancient English Heritage monastery, the enchanting Dunster Castle, a National Trust gem, or the picturesque harbour town of Watchet, home to a marina, museums and thriving street markets. Or relax in the secluded and enclosed garden with a traditional open fronted barn. A south-facing outdoor sofa area is a real sun-trap. Enjoy an evening stroll to the nearby Notley Arms gastro-pub, for a drink in the beer garden or an award-winning meal. Or spend evenings cooking up a storm in the amply-equipped kitchen/diner before gathering round the dining table or enjoying a spot of alfresco dining on the patio. A magnificent first floor sitting room awaits upstairs, bursting with original features and local art, exposed oak beams, and a polished wooden floor. The ground floor houses a twin bedroom with doors out onto the garden and a double bedroom with en suite shower room, as well as a separate cloakroom with basin and WC. A third bedroom awaits on the first floor, with a double bed and an elegant en suite bathroom. There are a range of amenities located nearby, including the shops, pubs, restaurants, and cafés in Williton and Watchet. The Quantock Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is a short drive away.

Yarde is a peaceful hamlet, situated in the foothills of the Exmoor National Park. Close to the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the west Somerset coast, you are within easy reach of a number of fantastic walks and picturesque beaches. The area is well served by local shops and pubs, for grabbing essential items or for treating yourself to a tasty meal and refreshing beverage. The attractive West Somerset Railway also passes through the area, where you can enjoy journeying along the coast from Minehead and admiring unspoilt countryside.
