An attractive pair of detached traditional cottages enjoying an outstanding southerly facing rural position in the Exmoor National Park with an adaptable range of outbuildings, productive pasture, woodland and amenity land.
The property extends in total to about 27.82 Acres and is offered for sale by private treaty either as a whole or in up to 3 lots as follows:-
Lot 1: East Harwood Cottage, Stables and Grounds extending to about 4.31 Acres - Guide Price £395,000
Lot 2: Pero Cottage, Outbuildings, Pasture and Woodland extending to about 10.79 Acres - Guide Price £425,000
Lot 3: Amenity Woodland extending to about 12.72 Acres - Guide Price £80,000
The sale of East Harwood and Pero cottages provides prospective purchasers an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding and versatile rural property package, affording an eclectic mix of residential, agricultural, equestrian and amenity appeal. East Harwood Cottage is believed to have been in the current vendor’s family for over 65 years, with Pero purchased in the 1970’s. Set in beautiful Somerset countryside, they comprise two detached cottages of traditional stone, slate and rendered construction affording well proportioned two and three bedroomed accommodation. Despite both now requiring renovation and refurbishment, the cottages afford the potential to create two charming country homes.
The cottages benefit from a range of adaptable outbuildings and are well positioned within an attractive block of agricultural and amenity land, principally contained within a ring fence and comprising sloping pasture together with an attractive parcel of similarly sloping mixed deciduous woodland and scrub. The land enjoys a primarily south easterly aspect and may be well suited to a variety of agricultural, equestrian, conservation or other amenity uses. In total, the property extends to about 27.82 Acres and is offered for sale as a whole or in up to three lots.
The cottages occupy a delightful rural position within the stunning and unspoilt countryside of the Exmoor National Park, initially accessed over a quiet no-through road known as Harwood Lane, with a private track leading to the cottages. Tucked into the hillside the cottages enjoy superb views over the picturesque valley of the River Avill, which gently winds its way from Wheddon Cross down to the charming medieval village of Dunster. The property is ideally situated to take full advantage of both the Exmoor National Park, which is widely regarded as some of the most attractive countryside in the county and the spectacular north Somerset/Devon coast.
The nearby sought after village of Timberscombe nestles in the valley of the river Avill and is an ideal base to make the most of the many delightful walks and nearby beauty spots and, as would be expected of this location, there is a comprehensive range of country and sporting activities. The village enjoys a church, public house, village shop/post office, first school and recreation ground, whilst a useful range of everyday services can be found in the nearby larger medieval village of Dunster. The property enjoys convenient access to the surrounding districts with the A396 affording an easy link to the West Somerset regional centre of Minehead, with its extensive range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities. Taunton, the county town, is a pleasant drive away and provides excellent communication links to the rest of the country with main line rail connections (London Paddington) and the M5 motorway (Junction 25). International airports are available at Exeter and Bristol.
