A spacious four-bedroom detached home, offering fantastic potential for modernisation, peacefully situated in an idyllic Exmoor village with beautiful southerly views over the moor.

Tucked away at the end of a quiet close of just two houses, Barle Mist enjoys an elevated position with beautiful southerly views over the moor. Nestled in the heart of Exmoor National Park, the property offers easy access to some of the region’s most stunning landscapes.

This spacious, detached village home offers well-proportioned accommodation with generous room sizes and some lovely views over the moor. Built 37 years ago, the property now offers an exciting opportunity for modernisation, with endless potential to create a wonderful Exmoor retreat.

Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a cloakroom and a fully fitted kitchen, which enjoys picturesque views from the sink. A stable door provides access to the garden, and a useful utility area offers ample space for white goods. The double-aspect sitting room features a charming stone open fireplace, while double doors lead to the dining room, which opens onto the patio and garden.

Upstairs, the particularly spacious master bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with spectacular moorland views and benefits from an en-suite shower room. There is plenty of potential here to create a larger en-suite with walk in wardrobe or even an additional bedroom or study. Three further bedrooms and a generously sized family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower, complete the first floor.
