Property Summary In a tranquil corner of Exmoor National Park, The Old Malt House offers the perfect combination of modern living and character and charm. The property has been lovingly renovated by the new owners whilst retaining period features including beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplace and a hidden well.

The property has been lovingly renovated by the new owners whilst retaining period features including beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplace and a hidden well. Main Description The Old Malt House is a detached period property dating back to the 1800s. It was formerly the stables and outbuildings to the old village Inn - hence the name! - and the garden was reportedly once the village pound, housing the local animals. The property was sympathetically converted into living accommodation in the 1990s, retaining a wealth of original features to include exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and working hand pump for the well, which still exists under the kitchen floor. It has recently been renovated to provide modern comfortable accommodation. The accommodation is all on the ground floor but there are a number of steps to reach the garden and the front entrance is via an old uneven cobbled courtyard, making it unsuitable for those with restricted mobility. The first floor of the building housing The Old Malt House is used only for storage and thus there is no noise from above. The Old Malt House is accessed from a sunny cobbled courtyard, which is shared with the owners' other property next door. The front door to the property leads straight into the open-plan living area, with a small area for muddy boots and coats immediately inside the front door. The main living area is open plan, with ample seating, a 50" smart TV, inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and a dining area and well equipped modern kitchen. A door at the far end of the living area leads into an internal hall, from which both bedrooms and the bathroom are accessed. Unusually for Exmoor, the property is on mains water, meaning excellent water pressure for that much needed hot shower at the end of a wet and muddy walk! A few steps from the kitchen area lead up to the games room and from here there are a few more steps up to an external door opening onto the garden. This is private and enclosed with lovely countryside views, and enjoys all day sunshine. Sleeps up to 4 guests One double bedroom with king-sized bed One bedroom with twin beds Large open plan kitchen/dining/living room with wood flooring, inglenook fireplace and wood-burner Ground floor bathroom with shower over the bath Games rooms with vaulted ceiling, complete with table-tennis table Private and enclosed SW facing garden with outside seating Off-road parking for 2 cars Secure bike storage Outside tap for muddy boots, bikes and dogs Bed linen and towels provided Wifi, heating and electricity included Dogs welcome (maximum of 3) for supplement of £15 each Small market town of Dulverton only 6 miles Arrive from 4 pm Depart by 10 am Indoor Description The Old Malt House kitchen has recently been renovated and fitted with new appliances to include electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine, slimline dishwasher, kettle, filter coffee machine and toaster. There is a 50" Smart TV in the sitting room area, which is on a swivel arm so can be enjoyed from the large four seater sofa or from the kitchen/dining area. The property benefits from ultrafast fibre broadband, though due to the thickness of the internal walls, there is limited wifi available in the bedrooms and bathroom. There is also no phone signal on most mobile networks, though wifi calling is possible. The Old Malt House houses a games room, which is accessed from the kitchen, and includes a table-tennis table plus a selection of board games, books and extensive DVD collection. Please note that the games room has not yet been renovated and is not quite as luxurious as the rest of the property! Electricity and heating costs are included in the price of your accommodation. The Old Malt House has recently been fitted with state of the art 'smart' electric radiators, which ensure cosy evenings in the winter. These radiators are pre-programmed to provide optimum comfort but can be adjusted to suit your preferences. There is also a large wood-burner in the sitting room; a starter basket of logs, kindling and firelighters will be provided and further logs can be purchased locally. The cottage is double glazed throughout. In the summer months, the thick external walls keep the cottage deliciously cool. Bed linen and towels are provided for your convenience. Dogs are welcome (maximum of 3 dogs per booking), for a supplement of £15 per dog. Please do not leave your dog/s alone in the property at any time or allow them on the furniture or in the bedrooms. Outdoor Description The Old Malt House benefits from its own private, enclosed garden, which is accessed internally from the games room and can also be accessed externally through a gate leading off the entrance courtyard. The garden is elevated and
