West Huckham Barn is a charming holiday accommodation located in the picturesque Quarme Valley of Exmoor, near Wheddon Cross, Somerset. This 200-year-old detached barn offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside, rich in flowers, wildlife, and historical significance. The property comfortably sleeps up to five guests across three bedrooms, consisting of two double rooms and one single room. The barn's open-plan living area, complete with a dining and kitchen space, boasts a high vaulted ceiling and wooden beams, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere. An adjoining conservatory provides an ideal spot for guests to soak in the beautiful scenery, particularly during sunset or when outdoor conditions are unfavorable.
Accommodations include a ground floor double bedroom and a single bedroom, along with a shower room, while the first floor features another double bedroom with an en-suite. The living area is enhanced by a wood-burning stove, perfect for cozy evenings. Guests can also enjoy the large garden, which includes a pond (not fenced, so children must be supervised), and take advantage of the breathtaking countryside views. The property is conveniently located near public footpaths, offering wonderful walking opportunities right from the doorstep. Essential amenities such as towels, bed linen, Wi-Fi, heating, and electricity are included in the rental.
Accessibility is considered for those with restricted mobility, as the living area and one double bedroom are situated on the ground level. There is a single step up to the shower room and the other bedroom, with level access from the entrance. The conservatory is one step down from the living area, and all steps have handholds for safety. The nearby village of Wheddon Cross is just a short drive away, providing access to a mini-supermarket, petrol station, and a family-friendly pub known for its delicious carvery meals on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The property is approached via a private gated drive shared with two other dwellings, with the last 400 yards being steep, leading down into the valley that offers remarkable views. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome for a supplementary fee, but guests are advised to keep their dogs under control due to nearby livestock. It is also important to note that online grocery deliveries are not suitable for the access lane; however, local options for shopping are readily available in Wheddon Cross and Dulverton. Nearby attractions include cultural landmarks such as the Dunster Dolls Museum, Dovery Manor Museum, and beautiful sites like the Chocolate House and Blenheim Gardens, making West Huckham Barn an ideal retreat for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
