About this property
Special cottage for 2-4 in secluded nature reserve in Exmoor National Park.
Mounsey End is a 2 bedroom, self-contained wing of an Edwardian holiday house, within its own 144 acre woodland nature reserve to explore, and 2 miles of River Barle fishing for those that want. 4 miles up the valley from pretty town of Dulverton with excellent late night Co-op and other quality shops, pubs, restaurants. The house is reached down a long Devon style track and hides itself into the top of the wood overlooking the valley and the scheduled Iron Age hill fort Mounsey Castle within the reserve.
The cottage has a well appointed kitchen/dining/living room with Woodburner and micro hifi, and a study/TV room through an arch adjacent. A master double bedroom and light and airy twin bedded room upstairs give off a landing/library lined with books. The ample bathroom has bath with shower, a basin and a WC, with a downstairs loo and basin beside the front door.
There's a washer/dryer with outside drying line and a pull-out one over the bath if needed. The kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.
The private garden area is not fully enclosed but with 140 acres one side and 250 yards remote from the nearest public (infrequently used) lane, we've never seen the need. Ample exclusive parking for two cars. Well-behaved dogs welcome.
