A PEACEFUL property with views overlooking the picturesque Exmoor countryside is on the market for £625,000.

South Cleeve is a four-bedroom home situated just outside of Cutcombe, close to Wheddon Cross. The astounding views can be thoroughly enjoyed from this house’s elevated position, allowing residents to look over the rolling hills from the balcony.

Deep into Exmoor National Park, the property takes advantage of the excellent opportunities to walk and ride on the open slopes of the moor towards Dunkery Beacon and in the river valleys of the landscape.

The property is approached through a five bar timber gate and onto a tarmac drive which leads to the garage, parking and turning area.

When arriving for the first time, the beauty of the property and the surrounding area becomes immediately apparent. This continues upon entering the house, thanks to an extensive refurbishment by the current owners to make the house look incredibly presented over all three floors.

The porch leads through to a central hallway which connects every room on this floor seamlessly, as well as having easy access to the stairs which lead to the first floor.

Once entering the home, visitors can turn right into the sitting room and kitchen. The sitting room is incredibly spacious with the capacity to host plenty of family members or guests at any one time.

Featuring a large window and glazed doors that lead onto the balcony, everyone can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside when they choose to relax in the sitting room.

This room also has an inset brick feature fireplace with a wood burning stove, which is great for keeping warm and cozy during the colder and wetter months.

The kitchen was one of the areas that was newly refurbished, and as a result it has become a great place to be able to prepare meals from. It s well appointed with base units, space for a range cooker and a dishwasher.

The kitchen also has access to door which takes residents down a flight of stairs to the lower floor, which leads into the garden room and to the spacious dining room.

The large windows provide comforting light to flow into the property as residents dine, as well as a great reminder of the beautiful backdrop for the dining experience, making mealtime just that bit more enjoyable.

This room also offers a lot of flexibility and those who may not need or want a dedicated dining room may opt to convert it into a fifth bedroom for the house.

Two bedrooms are currently situated on this floor. Almost identical in size, these two rooms are incredibly spacious with more than enough room provided to accommodate multiple beds and occupants in one room.

The rooms also give those staying in them a nice personal corner to relax in by themselves, without ever feeling cramped for space.

The floor also features a WC and an air conditioner, ensuring that warmth of the the summer months can be dialled down if necessary.

Walking up the stairs leads residents or guests to the first floor landing which includes storage cupboards and access to the eaves. Here, the other two bedrooms are situated opposite one another.

The smaller of the two bedrooms, although generously sized, can be found to left. This room also boasts plenty of storage space for clothes and any other items needed. Featuring a sloped ceiling with a window, the light will be plentiful and welcoming at sunrise.

Another bedroom also features an en-suite bathroom which is fitted with a corner bath and shower. It also has glazed double doors that open to a glass fronted Juliet balcony, providing perhaps the best vantage point to witness the incredible countryside views in the entire property.

There is also extra storage space and access to the eaves on the upstairs landing.

Heading all the way back down to the lower floor, the garden room provides perfect views of nature and the surrounding countryside. With doors that open out to a porch that sits underneath the balcony, this is a great area to be in when summer rolls in.

Also connected to the garden room is a study, which provides another option for a fifth bedroom if needed.

Also connected to the lower floor is a utility room, storage and large integral garage. Subject to the necessary permissions, this space could easily be transformed into an annex.

Heading outside, the garden, which is accessed through a pedestrian or a five bar gate, is predominantly on two levels, with an upper terrace with raised vegetable beds and a covered patio area underneath the balcony.

Steps lead down to the lower level which is mainly laid to lawn and has a variety of shrubs, plants and fruit trees. These aspects combined together make for a wonderfully maintained garden that is beautiful to be around.

Wheddon Cross has both a pre-school and a first school, a general store incorporating a Post Office and fuel pumps, as well as a village pub.

The walks around the area are incredible, with Exmoor’s beauty on full display. The snowdrop valley is nearby and Cutcombe is ideally located to take advantage of excellent opportunities to walk and ride on the open slopes of the moor towards Dunkery Beacon and in the river valleys.

Heading further out, the coastal town of Minehead is nine miles north and Taunton is 22 miles south where the M5 can be accessed.
