Dulverton, known as the Gateway to Exmoor, is a historic and vibrant town situated on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park. It offers a good range of independent shops, pubs and restaurants, together with a doctors’ surgery, pharmacy, library and local school. The surrounding countryside provides a wealth of opportunities for walking, riding and outdoor pursuits, with the River Barle and Exmoor on the doorstep. The market town of Tiverton is approximately 12 miles to the south, providing further shopping and leisure facilities, together with access to the M5 at Junction 27 and Tiverton Parkway mainline station, with regular services to London Paddington taking around two hours.

The property is thoughtfully arranged over two floors, with the spacious sitting room positioned on the first floor to take full advantage of the superb outlook. Featuring a central granite fireplace with woodburning stove and two sets of patio doors opening onto the south facing, wrap-around balcony. From here, there are far-reaching views across the River Barle and the wooded valley beyond, creating a lovely setting in which to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape. Also on the first floor are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and a door opening directly onto the balcony. Two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, fitted with a bath, wash basin and WC.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to the dual-aspect kitchen, fitted with Howdens units and equipped with a dishwasher, double oven, electric hob with extractor over, together with a wood-fired Rayburn. The Rayburn provides heating to two gravity-fed radiators and also supplies some hot water. The kitchen leads through to a utility room with fitted units, plumbing and space for a washing machine, together with the oil-fired boiler and a separate WC. A door from the kitchen opens into the dining room, which in turn leads through double doors into the dual-aspect sun room. With two Velux style windows this is a lovely additional living space, with doors opening directly onto the patio and garden.

Outside - approached from Northmoor Road, a gated and stone-walled driveway rises to a generous parking area. Beyond this is a detached garage with power, lighting and an up-and-over door, together with a log store to the rear. Steps from the driveway lead up to a paved patio and the front door, with the gardens extending beyond. The landscaped gardens provide an attractive and private setting, with a lawned garden to the front and a rockery garden arranged over different levels to the rear. The gardens are well established, with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and perennial planting, including rhododendrons, hydrangeas, buddleias and roses, providing colour and interest throughout the spring and summer. The elevated position, mature planting and outstanding views combine to create a particularly appealing outside space.
