5 Bed Cottage in Old Cleeve

About this property

This stunning property is positioned on the edge of the historic village of Old Cleeve, surrounded by the rolling landscapes of the Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park. The village itself is full of character, with thatched cottages and an historic church. There are endless opportunities for walking, cycling and wildlife watching in the local area, while the coast is close at hand for beach walks and sea air at Blue Anchor, 2 miles away. Minehead and Watchet are both within 7 miles and provide charming harbours, shops and cafés to explore, and the village of Williton offers everyday amenities (3 miles). A particular highlight is the view from the property of the West Somerset Steam Railway, adding a touch of heritage and romance to the setting.

Set in 1.5 acres, this charming holiday retreat is semi-detached. The owners have a separate annexe and there are three other holiday cottages privately situated within the grounds. Step inside the covered porch, which opens into an impressive entrance hall that immediately sets the tone for the house, with its generous proportions and strong sense of symmetry. From here, the home unfolds beautifully. The elegant sitting room provides a wonderful space for relaxing, with ample seating and views over the gardens and beyond. The TV lounge offers a more informal retreat, with comfortable seating and a Smart TV – perfect for movie nights. The well-appointed kitchen is an exceptional space with everything needed for cooking up group feasts. The dining room enjoys stunning views and comfortably accommodates a large table seating 10 people. Moving upstairs, five gorgeous bedrooms await all with TVs. Choose from a master super-king-size room with panoramic views to Exmoor and an en-suite bathroom, a king-size room with sea views and an en-suite shower room, a king-size room with views of Exmoor and a bathroom, a twin-zip-and-link which can be a super-king-size on request with sea views and a shower room, and a bunk room with an en-suite bathroom.

Outside there is an enclosed area for your four-legged friends with a picnic bench. The rest of the gardens and grounds that extend to approximately 1.5 acres and are shared with the owners and three smaller holiday cottages. The mature, landscaped gardens create an immediate sense of privacy and tranquillity from the moment you arrive. Expansive lawns are framed by established trees and thoughtfully positioned seating areas, offering both open spaces for socialising and secluded corners for quiet relaxation. Beyond the boundaries, the gardens neighbour an orchard and grazing alpacas, enhancing the rural charm and sense of connection to the surrounding countryside. Ample private parking is available.
