Bramble Cottage - Wiveliscombe

This beautifully converted former farm building is nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Waterrow on the Somerset/Devon border at the foot of the Brendon Hills. Set in a 33-acre estate, this property offers pure peace and serenity in the comfort of the secluded countryside. Comprised of woodlands, pastures, ponds and the River Tone, the small country estate is perfect for anyone that enjoys walking, hiking and cycling, with the Brendons, Quantocks and Blackdown Hills all reached within 10.5 miles. Those looking for adventure can conquer the winding valleys and heather-clad moorland of Exmoor National Park, 9 miles away, whilst closer to home keen anglers can cast off in the River Tone with the farm holding fishing rights for over half a mile (license required). The call of the coast is never far away; enjoy skimming stones out to sea at Doniford Beach 13 miles away and Kilve Beach (16 miles) is perfect for fossil hunting and both welcomes dog all year round

Renovated with both style and comfort in mind, yet sympathetic to the original barn features, this charming country property boasts a truly warming ambience. The reverse-level layout has two double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms on the ground floor, an oasis of calm to retire to, and a light and bright living space occupying the first floor maximises wonderful views across the estate from sunrise to sunset, framed by the impressive large picture window. Brimming with character, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner upstairs perfectly combines authentic rustic features, including beautiful, exposed ceiling beams, with sophisticated homely touches that invite weary walking muscles to unwind and dine at the end of a busy day.

Soak up the soothing sounds of birdsong when dining alfresco on the patio; follow the whistle of the evening breeze to explore over 30 acres of the surrounding estate, which features nature trails, pastures, woodlands, unfenced ponds and a small lake. The estate also boasts dog exercise fields enclosed with stock fencing where your playful pups can roam and play to their heart’s content. There is also private parking for two cars.
