Situated within the grounds of a 33-acre country estate in the shadow of the magnificent Brendon Hills, escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this remote, romantic bolthole surrounded by the calm and tranquillity of the rural Somerset/Devon border. Alive with wildlife and natural beauty, the country estate provides a playground of outdoor activities, from strolling through lush green fields to casting off in the River Tone for trout, with the farm holding fishing rights for over 0.5 miles (license required). The surrounding picture-perfect hamlet of Waterrow provides the perfect base for keen walkers, with the Brendons, Quantocks, Blackdown Hills and the magnificent walking country of Exmoor National Park all reached within 10.5 miles. From countryside to coast, those who love life by the sea can explore the rocky Doniford Beach 13 miles away, and Kilve beach (16 miles) which is perfect for fossil hunting and both welcomes dogs all year round.
Boasting earthy, neutral hues that perfectly blend into the colours of your lush, green surroundings, the countryside never feels far in the delightfully light and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Combining country cottage style decor, reminiscent of the rich heritage of this former stables, with contemporary homely touches, this endlessly social space beckons tired travellers to unwind and dine; on a fine evening, throw open the patio doors to relax amongst the sound of birdsong. In keeping with the peaceful atmosphere of the rest of the cottage, the king-size bedroom offers a haven of tranquillity to retire to, as well as a Jack and Jill-style en-suite shower room which can also be accessed from the hall.
Enjoy your morning coffee at sunrise or a glass of something chilled at sundown in the charming courtyard garden before exploring the wider estate, with woodlands, pastures and riverside walks alongside unfenced ponds and small lake to discover. Your four-pawed third wheel can let off some steam in the dog exercise fields enclosed by stock fencing. You’ll also find private parking for two cars.
