Exebridge is a small, pretty village situated in the stunning Exe Valley on the Devon/Somerset border. The village has a popular public house with riverside garden and is within a short walk of the property. Goviers Cottage enjoys a convenient, yet rural location, within 3 miles of Bampton and 3 miles of Dulverton, both providing excellent local amenities including some lovely shops, pubs, eateries, primary schools, veterinary and doctor surgeries. The larger market town of Tiverton lies 9 miles to the south with major supermarkets and hospital. There are some beautiful walks on the doorstep and the whole area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty with the Exmoor National Park just a few miles to the north and the renowned Wimbleball Lake with its many water based activities as well as numerous walking and cycling trails.

This is an incredibly exciting development opportunity. With three former cottages set on a sizable plot of 5.85 acres, there's plenty of room for creativity and potential. The river frontage adds an extra dimension of charm and possibility to the property. It's a project that would likely appeal to those with a vision for restoration and a love for the outdoors.

Sitting in an enviable plot, with the land and river frontage, Goviers Cottage is located a short drive from both Dulverton and Bampton. The property offers numerous possibilities to a purchaser, including turning the property into one superb house and retaining the land, separating off the adjacent ‘plot’ where the Nissen hut once was and adding the field directly behind, or splitting the main building into two or even three cottages and selling the land off separately.

In need of complete renovation or replacement, the cottages internally amount to over 2,000 sq ft. The current owner was in occupation for over 40 years.

The grounds are a particularly magical feature of the property with fields stretching down to the river Exe with approximately 110 meters of river frontage.
