Welcome to Wilsham Cottage, a charming 3-bedroom detached home situated in the picturesque Exmoor National Park. This tranquil haven offers delightful countryside views, a spacious workshop, garage, and beautifully maintained mature gardens.

As you step into the property, you'll immediately appreciate the warm and inviting atmosphere. The cottage boasts a thoughtfully designed layout, featuring a cosy living room with large window. The room is perfect for relaxing evenings by the fireplace, enjoying the peaceful ambiance of Exmoor.

The Kitchen offers a range of solid units, large range style oven, sink and space for under counter appliances. There is also a Dining room with feature fireplace and multi-fuel burner which provides heating to several radiators. Finally, to the side of the property, off the Kitchen, is a conservatory that also works as a Boot room/ Utility with door to the side elevations.

To the first floor are three bedrooms offering comfortable retreats, each with its own unique charm and fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom is a spacious room enjoying a countryside view beyond with a dual aspect. The additional bedrooms are well-proportioned, ensuring privacy and comfort for family members or guests.

One of the standout features of this property is the expansive workshop, measuring an impressive 21'9 x 13'9. Whether you're an avid DIY enthusiast, an artist, or in need of a dedicated space for hobbies, this workshop provides ample room for your creative pursuits. It's a versatile area that can be customised to suit your specific needs.

In addition to the workshop, there is a convenient garage, providing secure and extra storage space. This ensures that your cars are protected from the elements while offering room for gardening tools, sports equipment, or other belongings. This also homes the bore hole and treatment plant.

Outside, the mature gardens are a true delight, offering a haven of tranquillity. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature as you stroll through the well-tended flower beds and relax on the patio, taking in the panoramic views of the rolling hills and expansive skies. The gardens provide the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, barbecues, or simply unwinding in the fresh country air.

Wilsham Cottage is nestled within Exmoor National Park, an area renowned for its outstanding natural beauty, offering a wide range of recreational activities such as hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife spotting. The location ensures a peaceful and idyllic lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, while still providing easy access to nearby towns and amenities. There is a footpath near the home, which is a some 45 minute stroll from Watersmeet.

In summary, Wilsham Cottage is a truly enchanting property, combining the tranquillity of Exmoor National Park with the comforts of a well-appointed home. With its peaceful countryside views, spacious workshop, garage, and mature gardens, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a slice of paradise. Don't miss your chance to experience the best of country living in this delightful cottage. The property also has been a very successful holiday let and would lend itself to continue doing so.

Lynton offers a range of everyday shops and is linked to its twin village of Lynmouth not only by road but the famed water-powered Victorian Cliff Railway - all lying within the boundaries of Exmoor National Park which is surrounded by some of North Devon’s most spectacular coastline. Barnstaple town centre is within easy driving distance and offers an excellent range of shops, banks and leisure facilities.
