Directions - W3W//////charted.magical.scorpions
Travelling on the A399 from Combe Martin Eastwards, ignore the turning to Kentisbury on your right, pass Waytown Tea Rooms on your left and take the next turning left signed ‘Trentishoe 4 Miles’. Continue on this road past Holdstone Down until you reach a fork in the road. Ignore the turning left to Trentishoe Church and continue down the hill. Take the next turning left at Rhydda Bank Cross. Climb the hill and Heddons View will be clearly seen on the right-hand side.

Description - This splendid individual detached single storey residence presents elevations of black brick and painted render, with double glazed aluminium framed doors and windows beneath a slate roof. We understand that the property was built around 2020 and replaced the previous bungalow on site, which burnt down. Individual modern homes within Exmoor are rare to say the least, and given the stunning position and views, we are anticipating that Heddons View will prove to be a highly desirable opportunity. Internally the accommodation is bright and spacious. The ‘Wow’ factor, apart from the views is the fabulous open-plan reception area and kitchen, with vaulted ceiling and atrium style windows, as well as two sets of bi-fold doors, which frame the best of the view, bringing the outside in. Outside, there is extensive parking, and a double detached garage which is of cavity construction and may be suitable for conversion to separate annexe accommodation (subject to planning permission). Otherwise the garden is a blank canvas, and includes an area of hillside pasture. This is certainly a property which needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
