At the foot of the quietly beautiful Brendon Hills and on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, near the small hamlet of Waterrow is Surridge Farmhouse. This handsome, detached Grade II listed farmhouse, dating back to the 17th century, stylishly combines elegant modern living with original period features. On the ground floor, you'll find a smart kitchen/breakfast room with AGA and additional conventional oven, an excellent dining room with wood burning stove and an enormous 29ft lounge with fireplaces at either end, traditional beamed ceilings and original window seats. The games room with TV/DVD, bean bags, table football is perfect for rainy days or just keeping the children occupied. The original half-turn staircase leads up to five bedrooms; the enormous master double with lovely views and an en suite shower room, two smart doubles, a twin and a single room. Two further bathrooms complete the accommodation. Surridge Farmhouse sits in a ring fence of 80 acres of pasture and woodland with its own Iron Age Fort perfect for exploring, or perhaps relax in the illuminated six person hot tub on the large south facing patio whilst taking in the endless views across the surrounding countryside. Whichever you choose you're sure to have a fantastic holiday in a truly peaceful spot.

This town is on the edge of Exmoor in the Brendon Hills. A base for outdoor pursuits from fishing on the Clatworthy Reservoir or Wimbleball Lake, horse-riding or walking through countryside. There are shops in Wiveliscombe as well as a butcher, antique shops, a gunsmith and Court House shop. The village is half an hour from North Somerset's beaches. The towns of Dulverton and Bampton are within driving distance. A perfect holiday destination with good facilities and leisure pursuits.
