Barn in Somerset

Converted from the original cider barn and approached through attractive grounds it stands alongside the owners' 16th century thatched farmhouse. The cottage is bright and welcoming offering superb views from the patio area. Located only 1 mile from the Devon/Somerset border and 5 minutes from J25 of M5 it is conveniently accessible to Exmoor, Dartmoor, North & South coasts, National Trust properties and theme parks. Walkers can enjoy opportunities to explore the area on foot with footpaths and lanes leading from the cottage linking into nearby farmland, forests & wildlife reserves.
