A beautiful home perfect for a countryside retreat is available for £995,000.
Bridleside is nestled in the heart of the charming village of Monksilver, and is an impressively designed property offering a perfect blend of luxury, versatility, and income potential.
Thoughtfully designed by its current owner, this substantial home sits within its own private grounds which makes up approximately two-thirds of an acre, and offers breathtaking views across the stunning Exmoor National Park.
With its proximity to the Brendon and Quantock Hills, Bridleside is ideally positioned for those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat with modern conveniences.
Bridleside features flexible living spaces that cater to a variety of needs, whether you’re looking to accommodate a large family, generate income through a bed and breakfast, or manage a well-established holiday letting business.
The property comes as its own home with an attached holiday cottage on the side named Bridlecott, which provides additional accommodation with its own separate entrance, making it perfect for guests or extended family, or to provide a potential source of income.
Upon entering the property through a traditional wooden door, you're greeted by a spacious entrance hall with beautiful quarry tile flooring. From here, the ground floor unfolds into a series of reception rooms, each with its own character and charm. All rooms are all easy and convenient to get to thanks to the hallway’s strong flow.
One of these spacious reception rooms can be found immediately to the right of the front porch, which can also be utilised as an additional bedroom if needed.
Next to this reception is a guest room which has a stunning inglenook fireplace with a traditional beam, perfect for cosy evenings in. Double doors open into the orangery, seamlessly connecting the two spaces and allowing natural light to flow throughout this space.
This airy, light-filled space features a sky lantern and triple-aspect windows, creating a wonderful connection to the surrounding gardens. Karndean flooring and patio doors provide a modern touch, making it the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining.
The dining room is found just next to the guest room, and highlights wonderful rural views of Combe Sydenham Country Park, providing a fantastic backdrop for any meals whipped up.
The dining room connects directly to the heart of the home, which is the well-appointed kitchen. This room is equipped with oak cabinetry, modern appliances, and an Aga. It opens directly to the garden, allowing easy access for al fresco dining, and connects to the utility room.
It offers ample storage space, a sink, and room for additional appliances. This space also provides access to the Bridlecott holiday cottage and to the rear garden. Additionally, the utility room nearby has a door leading into the shower room.
The kitchen also links up to the sitting room, which has its own inglenook fireplace, providing a comfortable and cosy place to relax after a long day or a big meal.
Heading upstairs, six beautifully presented double bedrooms are available, offering ample space for family and guests. No matter which room anyone takes in this house, there is simply no bad choice, and everyone has their own sizeable corner of the house to stay.
The master bedroom features two double wardrobes and a vanity unit, creating a tranquil retreat.
The second bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, while three further double bedrooms all enjoy rural views, including across the nearby deer park. There are two family bathrooms on this floor, each finished to a high standard.
Bridleside’s exterior grounds are just as impressive as the interior. Accessed via a private gated driveway, the property is surrounded by a stone wall, leading to a tarmac drive with ample parking for multiple vehicles.
The surrounding gardens are immaculately landscaped, featuring a large lawn, flower borders, and a variety of trees and shrubs, creating a beautiful landscape for residents and guests to enjoy.
The garden is bordered by the local bridleway and the neighbouring deer park, providing a scenic and tranquil setting. The property also includes a fruit orchard with six apple, two plum, and two cherry trees, fantastic for those who enjoy their own gardening and picking fruit.
At the side of the property is a double garage. Built in 2000, it features loft access, and is a fantastic area that can be used for additional storage space or could be converted into a workshop.
The grounds also include a lovely lawn area and hedgerows, ensuring privacy and enhancing the rural feel.
Bridlecott offers an opportunity for additional income or private guest accommodation for the owners of this property. The cottage is beautifully designed with an open-plan living area that enjoys double-aspect views of the surrounding countryside.
The modern kitchen is fully equipped, while the upstairs offers a vaulted ceiling master bedroom and a second bedroom, accessible from both the cottage and the main house. This flexibility allows Bridlecott to be used either independently or as part of the main residence.
