Andrew's House is the far right-hand end of this historic property on the edge of the beautiful little Exmoor town of Dulverton.
A contemporary kitchen makes use of some original features to link into the rest of the living-space.
This is the lovely terrace at the front of the house. Steps come down to the left-hand side from the parking-area. You are not overlooked by any other property.
The ground floor has an open plan layout which makes this a really sociable place to stay.
Snuggle up on the comfortable furniture, for an evening in front of the wood-burner.
Exmoor offers miles of open space, stunning walking trails, deep valleys and tumbling rivers.
The spacious main bedroom.
There is also a double bedroom with a view out over the terrace and the wooded hillside.
The third bedroom can be set up as twins or pushed together as a double, if you wish.
The dining-table has pride of place looking out over the terrace. The French windows open up to bring the outside in on a warm day.
A comfy room to relax in.
The River Barle flows through Dulverton and passes just below Andrew's House. There is a lovely riverside walk into the beautiful little town.
This is the bridge that you will cross into the town for all the lovely local shops, cafes and pubs.
Andrew's House is very stylish but also feels like a home-from-home.
Andrew's House is really homely and you will feel very welcome.

This property is great for a family holiday - children are made very welcome with plenty of toys and games to enjoy.
There are two bathrooms - one with a large shower and the other with a bath and shower over. Both are a really good size.
This is the bathroom with the shower over the bath.
Andrew's House has a wonderful terrace for dining al fresco and listening to the river on the other side of the road.
Fresh coffee and chocolate biscuits - what a place to sit outside before going out for the day.
Wimbleball Lake is not far. There are amazing walks around the lake, a tea shop and water sports if you want to really make the most of it.
This is the third bedroom made up as a 6' king-sized bed with the two single beds pushed together.
This is a view of Dulverton. The footpath from Andrew's House comes out just by the bridge.
Heading up from Dulverton towards the moors you will be rewarded with fabulous open space and panoramic views.
Children will love the park just across the road - do supervise them crossing though.

TwinThis spacious period house is on the edge of Dulverton, the gateway to Exmoor National Park, seconds from the riverside walk into this lovely little town.
Andrew's House is on the corner of a little lane and the road into Dulverton, with woodland on one side and the sound of the river on the other. The open plan ground floor has a stylish kitchen and the living-room has a cosy wood-burner and Smart TV with BT Sport. The double doors open out from the living-room onto a wonderful terrace with beautifully planted borders, perfect for al fresco dining.
Upstairs are three bedrooms (one with two single beds, which can be pushed together to make a double), a bathroom and a further shower-room with super-size shower. This is an exceptionally high quality semi-detached property in an excellent location.
Andrew’s House has 16th Century origins but has just been completely refurbished and is stylish and welcoming at the same time – with thoughtful extra touches, such as a Nespresso machine in the kitchen (do remember a supply of your favourite pods!) and even a secure storage safe in the main bedroom cupboard, just in case you do bring any valuables.
This is a great base for exploring the area or simply winding down in comfort, with the occasional stroll into the town for local provisions from the deli or a pub lunch by the river.
Dulverton is a very small town but one that is at the heart of life on Exmoor. There is a useful Exmoor National Park Centre, a good range of small independent shops, tea shops and cafes – try Tantivy for a morning coffee when you wander into the town for the papers and highly recommended for an evening meal is Woods restaurant – you will need to book your table! Beyond Dulverton are the open moors where you can stride across the hillsides with a packed lunch and a map. Withypool is a great starting point or perhaps Simonsbath or Tarr Steps and Landacre Bridge.
Dunkery Beacon is the highest point on Exmoor, for panoramic views as far as the eye can see. You will love discovering all these places and more during your stay here.
Please note: A flying freehold means that the main bedroom is over the neighbouring property, as this is the way that this large period property was converted many years ago.
