4 bedroom detached house for sale

As the name would suggest this most attractive detached period cottage was formerly the village Post Office and is delightfully situated on the edge of the Exmoor National Park in a peaceful West Somerset village enjoying wonderful views over farmland towards the Bristol Channel and set in lovely large mature and private gardens.
