3 Bed in Skilgate (oc-w46009)

This beautifully appointed two-storey cottage exudes refined charm and a premium finish, making it an ideal retreat for families, friends, or couples. Decorated in a classic Old English style, it features high-quality furnishings and thoughtful details throughout. Nestled on the outskirts of the picturesque town of Dulverton, the property offers easy access to the stunning Exmoor National Park (1.9 miles) and the surrounding Brendon Hills, providing endless opportunities for scenic walks and bike rides. Explore the historic town of Dulverton itself or venture to the nearby villages of Porlock and Dunster, renowned for their charming streets, traditional shops, and inviting cafes. A short drive will take you to the vibrant coastal towns of Minehead and Blue Anchor, where golden sands and seaside promenades await (both within 16 miles). Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures or relaxing coastal escapes, this cottage provides the perfect base to discover the beauty of Somerset and Exmoor.


Despite its contemporary renovation, original beams, stable doors and wooden trusses have been preserved throughout this cottage, creating a perfect balance between the traditional and the new. Kick off your coats and boots in the entranceway and make your way through the ground floor. One highlight is the stunning library, where shelves filled with books line the walls, while armchairs and desk areas invite you to take a pause and enjoy a moment of reflection. Continue through to the first lounge area, a stylish room with comfy sofas, a woodburner and a smart TV, followed by a second lounge space at the back of the house, where more seating and a larger smart TV promise unforgettable movie nights. The kitchen features ornate tiling and pastel-coloured cabinets that lend the space a quirky charm, with a breakfast table for easy dining, plus French doors providing access to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a fully tiled bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. A second bathroom is located upstairs—this time with just a walk-in shower—but finished with the same modern tiling. Also on the first floor, discover three delightful bedrooms decorated in soft tones and sumptuous linens. All three are double rooms, each framing wonderful countryside views in every direction.


Admire those rural views a little closer from the enclosed garden, a stunning space with grassy lawns and plenty of outdoor seating. Dine at the outdoor dining table or relax on the sun loungers in the paved patio area. At the front of the property, private parking is provided for two cars.
