This is more than just a home - it's a gateway to Exmoor's unique way of life. Whether you dream of keeping horses, exploring the national park on foot, or simply unwinding in a peaceful rural setting, this property offers a rare chance to combine modern comfort with the very best of country living.
Simonsbath is a charming and historic village at the very heart of Exmoor National Park in Somerset. Set within a sheltered valley along the River Barle and surrounded by dramatic hills, it offers an unspoilt setting steeped in natural beauty and history. The area is rich in heritage, with connections to the Knight family estate, and is perfectly placed for exploring moorland, woodlands, and long-distance walking routes such as the Two Moors Way.
At the centre of the village, the Exmoor Forest Inn provides a welcoming hub for residents and visitors alike, while the wider area offers a variety of traditional pubs, hotels, tea rooms, and restaurants showcasing the best of local food and drink. Popular options include the Exmoor White Horse Inn & Country Hotel and Exford Bridge Tea Rooms, perfect for sampling a true taste of Exmoor.
Exmoor itself offers an abundance of leisure opportunities, from a hike up Dunkery Beacon-the highest point on Exmoor with breathtaking panoramic views-to a riverside picnic at Landacre Bridge or a cream tea at the charming Withypool tea rooms. This is a location that truly blends convenience with an exceptional countryside lifestyle.
The North Devon Link Road (A361) is around a 20-minute drive, connecting to the M5 motorway at Junction 27, where Tiverton Parkway provides a fast train service to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. The nearest international airports are at Bristol and Exeter, making the property well connected for both business and leisure.
