  • "Nethercote Byre was light, airy, spacious, well equipped and clean - a high standard conversion in a beautiful location."

    Walking our spaniel off lead right from the door was a real bonus! Yes, the track had to be negotiated, but it was worth it. A previous review comment said the master bed was uncomfortable - if so, this has been replaced - it is now very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful week 'away from it all' and would definitely go back. Thank you.

    Very many thanks for your kind remarks. Yes, we bought new mattresses for the Masterbedroom. Glad to know that was appreciated and your spaniel had fun! Property Owner

The property

A little under 3 miles from Winsford and Exford, off the beaten track in the centre of the moor, is Nethercote Byre.

A lovely, comfortable and relaxed house, Nethercote Byre has been converted from a large U-shaped barn and sits in a wonderfully tranquil spot - perfect for nature watching, walking or simply escaping modern life.

With wooden floors, good fabrics, original artwork and natural timber the huge living room with a wood burning stove is great for getting the family together.

Two pairs of sliding glazed doors lead from here to the courtyard.

A second sitting room/playroom with TV, sofa, table football, table for jigsaws or games provides space for children to play on those not so sunny days.

There are four bedrooms, two at each end of the house, a super king-size double and three twin rooms, all sharing two bathrooms.

Outside is a private enclosed courtyard with table and chairs and you are welcome to wander and explore the owner's’ surrounding land.

Nearby, you can fly fish with tuition in Exebridge or frequent one of the many countryside inns in the surrounding villages.

Dulverton and Bampton are interesting towns to browse and Wimbleball Lake offers a whole range of exciting water sports.

A wonderfully remote place to stay and explore Exmoor on foot.

There is a charge of £40 for a second dog

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

WINSFORD

The picturesque village of Exford is situated in the heart of the Exmoor National Park. In a lovely setting by the River Exe, Exford boasts a village green, tea rooms, a shop, Post Office and two traditional inns serving excellent food and drinks. Exford is at the centre of a walkers' paradise with many miles of waymarked paths down the Exe and River Barle valleys and up to the nearby hills, including Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor, with outstanding views over 17 counties. Exford is renowned for fishing and riding, with the village hosting a horse show every August. The largest herd of wild red deer in England and Exmoor’s unique wild ponies roam the moors just above and around Exford, as they have done since the time of the Domesday Book. Guided walks with a National Park Ranger take place throughout the summer, and Exmoor is home to Lorna Doone and Tarka the otter, it is a place of rolling hills, medieval villages, such as Dunster with its castle, wild moors and a dramatic coastline. The coastal towns of Lynmouth, Porlock and Minehead are only a short drive from Exford and there are a variety of beaches along the coast, consisting of sandy and shingle beaches, plus some are ideal for surfing and bodyboarding. In 2011 Exmoor National Park was designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first place in Europe to achieve this prestigious award and only the second in the world.

Note: This house is approached over 1¾ miles of rough hardcore track, best for 4x4s or sturdy cars, Much regret inconvenience caused by the state of the track, the property land had recently had a major Tree Planting operation within the valley but work on the track is scheduled and with any luck improvements will soon be made, Best to drive slowly and avoid the low-slung cars, and for safety reasons too, please keep speed down!
