Westbrook House

Within a short driving distance of wild Exmoor, the North Devon and Somerset coast, and many pretty villages and river valleys.

A large secluded house with lovely views overlooking 60 acres of its own woodlands and the Exe Valley. 1 mile from Bampton.

The house stands in the Exe valley between Bampton and Dulverton. The area is full of quiet and unspoilt corners for those who wish to walk or watch wildlife.

Dulverton and Bampton are both old and pleasant towns – small but with simple shopping facilities. Dulverton, four miles from Westbrook, is the gateway to Exmoor and headquarters of the National Park Authority.

 

Tiverton is 7 miles away. Taunton or Exeter are 22 miles away. The North Devon link road, five miles away, provides fast access for those who wish to strike further afield – to West Devon or Dartmoor and the South coast.

The house is set in extensive gardens. Behind it are open fields and, at the top of the hill (with long views in all directions), is our own farm, Westhill Farm, over which visitors can walk. An all-weather tennis court can be used at any time.

To the front of the house, running down to the river Exe, are wooded grounds of 60 acres with good tracks for walking and picnics. In the woods (and often the garden!) are badger, roe and red deer, foxes, rabbits and a wide variety of birds.
