The Gardens, Lady Street, Dulverton, Somerset, TA22

A stunning period home occupying an enviable position quietly tucked away in the heart of Dulverton with a beautiful south facing garden, river views, garage and parking.


Tucked away in an enviable position close to the heart of Dulverton, this elegant period residence enjoys a peaceful and secluded setting with a beautifully landscaped, south-facing garden that overlooks the River Barle. With private parking for 2, a large detached garage, and easy access to the town’s charming amenities, the property offers an exceptional balance of tranquillity and convenience.

Known as “The Gateway to Exmoor,” Dulverton is a picturesque and thriving town offering an excellent range of amenities, including independent shops, pubs, restaurants, a doctors’ surgery, pharmacy, library, and local school. Nestled on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park, the town provides a strong sense of community and easy access to some of the most beautiful countryside in the South West. The market town of Tiverton lies approximately 12 miles to the south, offering access to the M5 at Junction 27 and Tiverton Parkway station, with regular services to London Paddington in around two hours.

Believed to date from around 1850, the property displays classic period character with generous, well-proportioned accommodation and delightful southerly views over the River Barle and wooded valley beyond. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall with original tiled flooring, a sitting room with a marble fireplace and inset electric fire, and a dining room with a fireplace, wooden flooring and a door leading to the utility. Both reception rooms have deep bay windows and feature ornate ceiling cornicing and roses. The kitchen has ample room for a dining table and includes fitted cupboards, a Belfast sink and space for a range cooker. Glazed doors lead through to a light filled sunroom, currently used as a study, with doors opening onto the rear courtyard. Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a spacious pantry, a utility room with sink and fitted cupboards, a cloakroom and a boot room providing access to both the front garden and rear courtyard.

Upstairs, leading off the spacious landing, there are four double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room and stairs to a mezzanine area, ideal for children’s sleepovers or as a study area. The generous family bathroom features both a bath and separate shower.

The garden is a particular highlight, south-facing, level (a rarity in Dulverton) and beautifully landscaped. A paved patio overlooking the River Barle provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining or quiet reflection, accompanied by the sound of birdsong and the flow of the river. Within the garden there is a useful brick-built potting shed and a greenhouse (with power connected). A charming pergola covers the courtyard by the back door, which also features a covered well. From the rear of the property, a separate courtyard and gated alleyway provide easy pedestrian access into Dulverton.

The property is approached via a quiet no-through lane leading to a private parking area and detached garage with power. A gate opens to the path that leads through the garden to the front door.
