LUDSLADE is a beautiful, spacious four-bedroom farmhouse set in a rural location in Exford on Exmoor.

The home has lots of charm with old-fashioned featureslincluding large fireplaces and wooden beams. 

The house has stunning views over its own land and the surrounding countryside. It was once a working farm, and therefore Ludslade benefits from pleasant gardens, fields, woods, ponds, and even an extra cottage.

As you approach the property via a private driveway, passing the additional cottage on the way to the main home, you’ll find there is ample room for parking several cars.

To gain access to the property, you take the outside step up to the rear of the home, where you find access via a porch. The porch is of fine proportions and allows for room to store shoes, coats and umbrellas.

Moving forward from the porch, leading into the sitting room and stairs to the first floor, which is the heart of this rural retreat. 

The sitting room makes for the perfect place to cozy up, featuring an inglenook fireplace housing and wood burner for those colder months.
