Property Details
Exceptional detached period property (non listed) set in 3.55 acres of gardens and paddocks with a carriage driveway, garage, timber stable block and breath-taking views of Exmoor from most rooms. For sale with no onward chain.
Formerly a Rectory, the property has been well maintained by the current owners and benefits from the comforts of a modern home such as oil fired central heating and secondary glazing, whilst retaining a wealth of original features such as the most beautiful mullion windows, parquet flooring, cornicing, open fireplaces, and 2 impressive ‘turrets’ with window seats enjoying far reaching views of Exmoor. The accommodation comprises, on the ground floor – porch, reception hall, living room, sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, and shower room. The first floor offers 5 double bedrooms, a shower room, and a bathroom. The top floor is given over to the master suite comprising a large double bedroom and bathroom with rolltop bath and separate shower.
Externally there are 2 gated access points from the road, creating a carriage driveway with ample parking space which also gives access to the detached garage. The gardens have been landscaped to provide wide terraces and patios amongst well stocked borders and flower beds. The lawn slopes to the rear and has a variety of mature trees and the most fantastic views. To the rear of the house there are a number of outhouses, an outside ‘gardeners loo’, as well as a timber shed and a greenhouse. The paddock lies to the west of the house and is gently sloping with a levelled area at the foot, ideal for kicking a football or it could be extended slightly to make an arena (stp). The stable block lies at the end of the paddock and has an additional entrance from the highway. Now in need of some repair or replacement, it offers the ideal footprint to create stables, workshop or hobby space.
Whilst the property address is Nettlecombe, the property lies just outside the hamlet of Woodford and is just outside of the Exmoor National Park. Nettlecombe itself has a Church and Nettlecome Court, a field studies council centre. The village of Monksilver (1 mile) offers a highly regarded pub and restaurant, church and village hall. Williton (2 miles) has a wide range of everyday amenities include cottage hospital, medical centre, pharmacy, dentist, vet and library. There are a range of food and other shops as well as a restaurant and local inns. Watchet (3.5 miles) has a harbour for boating enthusiasts and a range of independent gift shops, boutiques and cafes. The coastal resort of Minehead is 9 miles to the west and Taunton (15 miles), the county town, provides access to the motorway network and fast trains (from 1 hour 40 minutes) to London. The whole area is renowned for its walking, riding, and countryside pursuits with access to Exmoor right on the doorstep.
