In brief the accommodation comprises an entrance hall with toilet off and stairs rising to the first floor. An opening leads through to a living room with log burning stove and to the other side is a kitchen with a range of solid work units with matching wall cupboards over and roll top work surfaces. On the first floor there is a light and airy landing with French doors to the balcony taking full advantage of the far reaching rural views, together with three bedrooms, a separate shower enclosure and a roll top, claw footed, free standing bath in the family bathroom. Stairs then lead to the second floor in the roof space which is open plan, having exposed timber trusses. This room currently used as a hobby room, but could be a study or play room.

The Little Barn is a second detached property which has its own entrance gate and private courtyard. Inside is a small entrance lobby with oak flooring and coat cupboard. Leading off is a small kitchen with quarry tiled floor and glazed French doors to the garden. The living room contains a log burner, oak flooring and exposed oak beams. Stairs from here rise to the first floor where there is access to a double bedroom and separate bathroom.

The properties occupy a rural position to the north of Wiveliscombe on the foot slopes of the Brendon Hills. Exmoor National Park lies within a short distance where a plethora of footpaths and bridleways can be enjoyed, along with fishing and sailing at Wimbleball and Clatworthy reservoirs.

Kingsmead Community School is also present and within a 15 minutes’ drive is the larger town of Wellington with Waitrose supermarket, public school and access to the M5 motorway at Junction 26.

The properties are approached over a long private driveway which leads to a gated courtyard to the front providing a parking and turning for several cars. To the side is a stone workshop/store. Steps lead to a terraced garden which is predominantly lawned, interspersed with a number of mature shrubs, trees and bushes, together with a large vegetable garden, all enclosed within hedgerow boundaries. The little barn has a separate pedestrian entrance via a rear walled gate to the upper courtyard.
