A former stables conversion enjoying a delightful rural setting within The Exmoor National Park with wonderful views and versatile 3 bedroom accommodation all set in surrounding gardens with paddock of just over 1 acre.
On the market for the first time in over 30 years, the property was formally the stables for Burnells Estate built in the mid-1920s and later sold off and converted into residential use in the 1970s.
Located off a country lane between the medieval village of Dunster and the Exmoor village of Wootton Courtenay the property enjoys a superb rural setting and has great potential to improve and modernise to individual tastes and needs.
Arranged over two floors the accommodation was originally designed in a reverse style to take full advantage of the views but more recently it has been adapted to allow the vendor to live on the ground floor.
The accommodation in brief comprises; a reception hall running along the front of the building off which are 2 bedrooms, a shower room, boiler room and fitted kitchen. An enclosed inner hall with staircase gives access to the first floor where there is a lovely triple aspect sitting room enjoying wonderful country views with slate fireplace and wood burner, large kitchen/dining room enjoying similar views with door to covered timber decked area overlooking the rear garden, a bathroom and third bedroom which has an external stone staircase down to the front garden.
The property is accessed off the lane with right of way over a concrete drive then onto a private track leading up to the property where there is off road parking and turning. A wide path leads off along the front of the property with lawn garden alongside. To the far side there is a range of part open fronted timber and galvanise barns with track running past and around to the rear. Immediately off the higher ground floor kitchen diner is a covered decked seating area beyond which are lawns with inset trees, flowers and shrub rising up to a woodland boundary. Adjoining the garden and alongside the entrance track is a paddock of just over an acre ideal for those looking to keep a pony, sheep or the like.
