SITUATION The property is situated on the edge of Simonsbath, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the many rural activities for which the area is so well renowned. Set in the splendour of the Barle Valley, Simonsbath lies in the heart of the Exmoor National Park and has a hotel, a Public House, and the parish church.
DESCRIPTION Rose Cottage is a four bedroom character cottage offering very comfortable accommodation. The property originally formed part of the Fortescue Estate and benefits from a collection of very useful outbuildings including stables in a traditional stone barn and paddocks. The house has been modernised and extended by the current owners.
ACCOMMODATION The kitchen/breakfast room has glazed doors from the yard and is fitted with a range of reclaimed pine units with oak surfaces, Stanley oil-fired range cooker, a tall picture window and ceramic tiled floor. The enclosed front porch leads into the cosy sitting room with an original stone fireplace, inset multi fuel burner and storage cupboards beside. Leading off is a further reception room with slate flooring, pine panelled walls and access to the rear hallway and bathroom.
There is a large ground floor double bedroom with en suite wet room. There is level access from the kitchen into this bedroom and wet room. Upstairs there are three more double bedrooms, two with en suite bath/shower rooms.
OUTSIDE Approached through a private gated entrance, the concrete drive leads to the courtyard providing plenty of parking. The stone outbuildings house three light and airy stables and a separate feed barn or lorry store. The stable partitions are easily removable. The extensive modern buildings are suitable for covered parking, a workshop or as a games/hobby room. A further building is used as a large log store. Behind the house is a sheltered walled garden with pretty stone potting shed and a large vegetable garden. To the front of the property are two small turnout paddocks and to the rear is a grazing paddock (2.65 Acres). Further paddocks may be available to rent.
