Mount Lodge is an attractive stone-built period home with double glazed gothic style windows set in a glorious rolling countryside setting. It offers a wealth of accommodation comprising the main house, a self-contained annexe above the double garage and two barns, all in the wonderful surrounding gardens and substantial grounds. The large drawing room is a grand space with double-height beamed ceilings giving rise to the mezzanine level enjoyed by the first-floor office space, and access via double doors onto the properties’ sunny terrace. The sociable kitchen, dining and utility spaces all have tiled terracotta floors, with the dining area having a stone fireplace and log burner and the adjoining kitchen offering a variety of traditional in-keeping units, range cooker and double Belfast sink. The next-door utility also benefits from an array of corresponding built-in storage and leads to a bright conservatory/orangery; a pleasing space in which to take in stunning countryside views, with bi-fold doors onto the lush garden. There is also a central sitting room, featuring all exposed stone walls and an inglenook fireplace with log burning stove, as well as stairs to the first-floor accommodation. A ground floor shower room and storage area complete the floor.

Outside

Mount Lodge enjoys extensive grounds, formed of a variety of wide, open fields and woodland areas, as well as two large stone barns. Beautiful and well-kept gardens surround the home, with enviable views across the undulating countryside beyond. A broad range of mature trees, hedges and shrubs populate the space, along with areas of well-designed decorative flowerbeds, paved areas and shrubbery. A long block-paved driveway arches around and down into a substantial space with ample parking for several vehicles and a further sizeable garage. Attached to this is the hobby room which is currently used for wildlife rescue. This could potentially be incorporated to the annexe above subject to the necessary consent.

The impressive annexe sits above the garage and consists of a reception room, bedroom and a shower room. The bedroom benefits from large glass doors and a balcony. A wide, paved terrace to the rear of the property also makes excellent use of the sunny aspect and picturesque views and offers an ideal position for al fresco dining.

Exmoor National Park, Wimbleball Lake and Dulverton are all just a short drive away and offer picturesque walks and natural beauty spots, whilst the beaches of the scenic North Devon coast are also within easy reach.
