About this property
This detached Victorian house is situated high on the hill above Dulverton, along a steep drive at the end of a lane. With wonderful views and elegant style, it is excellent accommodation for families or friends, in any weather. Over three storeys, you enter through the hall on the ground floor, which leads you into the charming sitting room for relaxing on the chaise longue or comfy sofas beside the wood burning stove in a marble fireplace. You have the benefit of an additional family sitting room with another lovely wood burning stove, leading through an arch to your dining room, where you can enjoy meals prepared in the well equipped kitchen, complete with old fashioned pantry. For quiet time, head into the study with its desk. On the lower ground floor is a fun games room with Wii, table tennis and table football. The five bedrooms are found up the stairs, two of the doubles boasting views over the town. Beyond your parking area you enjoy the same brilliant views from your lawn garden with table and chairs. Dulvertons good shops and pubs are within easy reach, and with this being the centre of the Exmoor National Park, you are surrounded by marvellous countryside to walk, cycle or ride. If you prefer to take it easy, the drive through woods to the heather hills is lovely. Tarr Steps is an historic beauty spot and the beach at Minehead offers traditional seaside fun. The Mount is a spacious and friendly house to enjoy with lots to see and do all around.
Dulverton is the southern gateway to the Exmoor National Park, a small town standing between the rivers Barle and Exe, which meet further down the valley. Dulverton has some quaint narrow streets weaving between fine Victorian buildings and a three arched bridge crossing the river leading to riverside walks.

We werenât really there long enough to make use of everything, particularly all the board games and the library of books! I found the induction hob a little fiddly although most of the others managed without too much trouble. Personally, I also found the duvet in my room (single beds) too warm in September. But these are minor quibbles and everyone had a really enjoyable long weekend, helped by the local facilities all within walking distance.

We found the house to be very clean and had a great deal to occupy the children in our party, with table tennis, table football and other activities available. The large living areas provided opportunity for our group of ten to enjoy various activities, both communally and separately.

Everything we could have wanted for a comfortable stay was included. The home is absolutely beautiful with stunning views over the village and countryside. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely love to stay in the future.
