Dulverton

A beautifully presented 3/4 bedroom period cottage, enjoying a south-facing position on the edge of Exmoor National Park, with far-reaching countryside views, gardens and off-road parking.

The property offers versatile and generously proportioned accommodation, combining character features with modern comforts, including two woodburning stoves, double glazing and an oil-fired central heating system.

West Knowle is a small hamlet situated approximately 3 miles from Dulverton, along a quiet country lane between Dulverton and East Anstey. Known as the Gateway to Exmoor, Dulverton is an attractive town on the Somerset/Devon border, set between the Rivers Barle and Exe. It offers a good range of independent shops, boutiques, pubs and eateries, as well as a primary school, doctors, dentists and vets.

This south-facing, mid-terraced period cottage is beautifully presented throughout, with rendered elevations beneath a slate roof and double-glazed windows. The entrance porch provides useful space for coats and boots and leads into the sitting room, featuring a fireplace with the original bread oven and a woodburning stove. There is also a walk-in shelved storage cupboard, stairs to the first floor and a versatile fourth bedroom, ideal for use as a home office.

The fitted kitchen incorporates a Belfast sink, integrated oven, hob and extractor, fridge and dishwasher. This opens into the dining room, where sliding patio doors take full advantage of the wonderful countryside views. A further sitting room provides additional living space, with a woodburning stove and door to the garden. Rooflights in both of these rooms create a light and airy feel. A WC/utility room provides space and plumbing for a washing machine, while a storage cupboard houses the oil-fired boiler. Wooden flooring runs throughout the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, the family bathroom and a store room. The principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and original cast-iron fireplace. The bathroom is fitted with a bath, separate large walk-in shower and wash basin set within a vanity unit, together with an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

To the front, a pretty garden is enclosed by a picket fence. The rear garden is principally laid to lawn, with a gravelled seating area from which to enjoy the impressive, far-reaching views across rolling countryside towards Exmoor. A wooden gate provides access to a right of way used for access and oil deliveries.

The property benefits from two parking spaces in the car park which is immediately opposite the cottage.
