About this property

Exmoor Farmhouse is tucked away on the grounds of the owner's home in the quaint village of Bampton, Devon just a stone's throw from the picturesque landscape of Exmoor National Park. Offering a traditional and welcoming setting, Exmoor Farmhouse is perfect for both family and friends alike looking to explore the peaceful surroundings of this Devonshire beauty spot. You'll be delighted by the charming whitewashed and wooden cladding exterior of this lovely dwelling, giving a real country farmhouse feel. Step over the threshold and into the open-plan living space, beautifully appointed with a charming décor, complimented by traditional wooden features. The sociable spaces boast a snug corner sofa, inviting you to put your feet up after a day full of adventure, alongside a marvellous fitted kitchen, fully-equipped with all of the modern amenities necessary to prepare a heart-warming meal to enjoy gathered around the dining table with your loved ones. Continuing through the property, enter a second seating area, decorated with exposed wooden beams and an eye-catching inglenook fireplace, housing a warming woodburning stove, where you can snuggle up in the cooler evenings to enjoy a movie night. Stepping outside, end each day in style with a luxurious seat amongst the bubbles of the hot tub, soaking in the scenic views over the rolling countryside, or escape the excitement and enjoy an hour of peace and quiet as you delve into a captivating book in the charming snug. As the day draws to a close, head upstairs where you'll find three bedrooms, a super-king-size, benefiting from it's own en-suite bathroom, and two double rooms, traditionally decorated with characterful features and serviced by the neighboring family bathroom. Take a break from doing the cooking and head into the heart of Bampton, where you'll be spoilt for choice with eateries to suit all tastes, including the award-winning traditional English country inn, The Swan, serving hearty meals prepared with seasonal and regional ingredients in a charming and rustic setting. Head off to explore your scenic surroundings, where you'll find a host of walking and cycling trails on your doorstep, with the picturesque open moorland of Exmoor National Park within easy reach, one of the smallest and prettiest national parks in Britain, decorated with ancient wooded valleys, magical waterfalls, dramatic coastline and home to the still waters of Wimbleball Lake, where thrill seekers can learn to kayak or paddleboard. Head further afield and visit the coastal village of Minehead, just across the border in Somerset, to spend a fun-filled day at the beach where you can enjoy an invigorating dip in the scenic waters of Blue Anchor Bay, or if you'd prefer to stay on land, there are an exciting selection of National Trust properties worth visiting, including the gothic Victorian mansion house of Knightshayes Court. Whether you're planning a day at the beach, or exploring the rugged landscape of Exmoor, choose Exmoor Farmhouse as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.
