The House
Head up the drive and you’ll find plenty of parking; get your bags out and step inside to beautiful interiors that blend the traditional and the modern to perfection. Off the wide entrance lobby there’s a utility room with laundry facilities, straight ahead is a huge open plan kitchen and dining room with full height doors that open onto the terrace. Continue round to a hall, a snug with an inviting U-shaped sofa, and living an elegant living room.
On the first floor are Bedrooms 1-6; Bedroom 1 has a free-standing bathtub by the window and a gorgeous Art Deco style shower room, Bedrooms 2 and 3 have shower rooms just across the landing, and full height doors opening onto a large balcony, Bedrooms 4-6 all have ensuite shower rooms. Bedrooms 7 and 8 are on the second floor and have an ensuite bathroom and shower room respectively. Bedroom 8 makes a great family room as it can have 3 single beds as well as the double.
A few strides away from the main house, the annexe brings you luxury loft style living with an open plan kitchen/dining/living area, Bedrooms 9 and 10 and a bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower. This works well if you have a family, elderly grandparents, or couples who like to have their own space.
Outside the grounds are enormous with heaps of space to run and play or to wander carefree among the trees. Steps lead down from the terrace to sweeping lawns; to the side of the house is a large terrace with an outdoor kitchen, seating and a 12 person hot tub.
Local Area
Huxhay is on the edge of Dulverton, so get up early, stroll into town to browse the little shops, buy freshly baked bread and pastries, local meats and veg, and wander down to The Bridge Inn for lunch beside the River Barle. Book for dinner at Woods Wine Bar or Tongdam Thai Restaurant.
Lace up your boots and follow footpaths through fields and woodlands with spectacular views of the countryside. Plan an Exmoor Adventure, a whole day discovering the beauty of the National Park; cross the ancient clapper bridge at Tarr Steps, stroll along the river at Watersmeet, puff your way to the top of Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on the moors, with a panoramic vista that stretches for miles. Look out for red deer and Exmoor ponies grazing on the bracken clad heaths.
Take a family trip to Exmoor Zoo, venture over to the coast for a day on the sands at Blue Anchor or Minehead, dive into the history of Dunster Castle, explore the state rooms and the spooky dungeons.
Sample award winning gins on a tour of Exmoor Distillery, while away an afternoon at The Grand Western Canal Country Park in Tiverton, hire rowing boats, mosey along the towpath, or relax on a horse drawn barge, drifting lazily along watching ducks dabble and swans sailing by. If surfing is your thing, good to know is that the North Devon coast is little over an hour away.
