The living rooms are downstairs, and the house has under-floor heating and four fireplaces!
Guests enter the house via a large entrance hall with loads of space for coats and boots. This leads to a large corridor which forms the artery for all the downstairs rooms. There is a central entrance hall with doors leading to a useful utility room with two washing machines, a tumble dryer, and a large airing cupboard with shelves and rails. There is also a butler’s sink. As you would expect with a house of this size the kitchen is very impressive and has been finished to a very high standard with everything you need for large group entertaining, including a large electric cooker with warming oven and induction hob, four dishwashers of varying sizes and a handy pantry where the fridge/freezer is located. Also, in the kitchen is a large wood table to seat at least six and two comfy armchairs perfect for relaxing. There is also direct access to the rear garden and a fire for winter months.
Off the kitchen is a massive dining room with glass windows and doors from ceiling to floor allowing uninterrupted views over the garden and moors. The room has a large table and chairs that seats 10 people and a second, round table that caters for 4 extra guests, ideal for children to eat together. There is another open fire, which makes for wonderful cosy meals in the winter.
The other very impressive room is the living room with triple aspect views over the garden and moorland. It has loads of sofas and chairs for relaxing and two occasion tables for card games all in front of the main feature, a huge open fire-place. The room is an ideal place for large gatherings at any time of year whether cosy winter evenings or long summer ones with a door leading out onto the terrace and garden.
Apart from the main drawing room, there are three other living rooms. Tucked in between the main living room and the dining room, the snug is a cosy room for the kids to watch TV on a large flat screenTV and Blu-ray player. The study is next to the living room and has two “his and hers” desks for guests who might need to work when away or just escape and read the many books to be found in this room. Finally, there is the games room, which offers table football and table tennis, plus loads of other board games, ideal for wet days with nothing else to do. There is also a back staircase to the first floor. The last room on the ground floor is a handy cloakroom with wash-basin and loo.
Upstairs there are 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The feature room upstairs is, without a doubt, the master en-suite bedroom. This massive room has windows overlooking the amazing views on 3 sides, as well as high vaulted ceilings with old wood beams. The room is large enough to be split into three areas, one featuring a king-size bed, the mid-section has a sofa and the far end has an en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath and a walk-in shower plus a wash-basin and a loo.
The first double of the main staircase has a sloping ceiling and views over Exmoor. The second double is larger and has a built-in wardrobe and lovely views. The next bedroom is a pretty twin and has two full-size single beds. Next, come two bathrooms, one with a large walk-in shower, a wash-basin and a WC and the second has a lovely roll-top bath, a wash-basin, a loo and a comfy chair. Then located at the rear of the house, there are two further doubles, one with views over the garden, and then the other is a good sized double bedroom with quirky wallpaper and artwork.
The fourth bathroom is situated between the final two double bedrooms and has a bath with a hand-held shower attachment plus a wash-basin and a loo. And finally, the last bedroom is a double on a par with the master bedroom, only not as big. It has high vaulted ceilings and wood beams plus a king-size bed, and lovely Exmoor views.
Outside the house is surrounded by gardens. The large terrace can be accessed via the living room and has a table and chairs plus a BBQ. The garden also has sun-loungers and deck-chairs. There are steps down to two other garden levels one with goal posts for a quick game of football. There is another garden to the front of the house and ample parking for cars. The driveway leads back up the lane where the stabling can be found.
Exmoor Farmhouse is perfectly placed to enjoy the delights of Exmoor and the miles and miles of unspoilt wilderness and the many pretty villages that are dotted over the moor. However, as Exmoor rolls down to the sea at Porlock, guests staying can reach the stunning North Devon beaches of Putsborough and Saunton Sands within 40 minutes or enjoy some of the Somerset coast, including Minehead and Dunster, which is an ancient market town of Dunster with a National Trust managed castle and many craft shops that line the cobbled street.
