Full Property Details
Fir Tree Cottage is situated on a quiet lane on the edge of the very pretty and sought after Exmoor village of Withypool. The property lies just 8 miles north-west of Dulverton, a delightful country town known as the Gateway to Exmoor with good shopping facilities together with a post office, doctors, dental and veterinary surgeries, library, recreational facilities and schools. The village nestles around a lovely old stone bridge which crosses the River Barle and has a church, village hall, village store and post office, tea rooms and the renowned Royal Oak Inn. Close to open moorland and river valleys, the property is ideally placed to enjoy many country pursuits including walking, cycling, horse riding and fishing. To the south, at Tiverton, there is fast access via the A361 North Devon Link Road to the M5 Motorway and Tiverton Parkway mainline station which provides regular intercity services to London (Paddington 2 hours).
A spacious, detached village house offering light, well proportioned accommodation with generous room sizes and some wonderful views over the moor.
