Overview

The Water House is a delightful family home, offering generous and versatile accommodation set within extensive gardens and grounds of approximately 18 acres. The property occupies an enviable elevated position at the foot of Exmoor’s Brendon Hills, surrounded by mature woodland and nestled within a peaceful valley. The setting provides a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion with good transport connections close by.

The ground floor offers four well-proportioned reception rooms, providing excellent flexibility for both family living and entertaining. The generous sitting room is accessed from the entrance hall through double doors and enjoys a triple aspect, feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the southeast-facing rear gardens. A dining room, snug and conservatory offer additional welcoming reception space. The conservatory looks out over the gardens and adjoins the kitchen in a semi-open plan layout providing a sociable space. The kitchen has a good range of fitted units to base and wall level, plenty of worktop space, integrated appliances and ample room for a family dining table. An adjoining utility room provides additional space for household storage and appliances, while a useful boot room and cloakroom complete ground floor accommodation.

A turned staircase rises from the reception hall to the first-floor landing, where there are five well-presented double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and en suite bathroom, while two further bedrooms are linked by a Jack and Jill bathroom. A separate shower room serves the remaining bedrooms. Stairs continue to the second floor loft space that has Dormer windows providing far reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The loft could also provide an excellent play area for children in inclement weather.

This property has 18 acres of land.
