The whole area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty with Exmoor
National Park 6 miles to the north with its beautiful deep wooded valleys and
heather moors ideal for a wide variety of country pursuits.
Hamslade Cottage is a most charming, semi - detached Victorian cottage set

windows and Victorian fireplaces. The ground floor comprises a light and airy
sitting room with doors opening on to a decked, covered seating area with the
beautiful backdrop of the stream and woodland. The study/ day room has a
welcoming feel with a stone fireplace and woodburning stove. The dining room
benefits from an electric Aga and steps lead down to the kitchen with fitted
units including a ceramic sink and oven with hob and there is ample room for
an American style fridge. A useful utility room leads off the kitchen with
sink and space/ plumbing for white goods. The rear hallway leads to the walk -

seating area. On the first floor, leading off the landing, there are three
bedrooms, all served by the family shower room.
Outside, the gardens and grounds provide a beautifully secluded setting,
bordered by a stream and surrounded by woodland and farmland. To the front of
the property is the driveway with ample parking for several cars. Immediately
to the rear of the house, leading off the sitting room, is a delightful
decked, covered seating and dining area with the benefit of a separate covered
area for a hot tub. In addition there is a summer house set within its own
enclosed garden, the summer house with light and power and a pull - down bed.
From the driveway, a track leads through the grounds to a gate and the stable
block with three loose boxes, light and power connected. The stables could
readily be converted to provide a workshop or studio if required. There is
also a garden store and log store. The property is approached from the lane by
a driveway to a five bar gate which gives access to Hamslade Cottage.
