Longdescription

Bridgetown is a pretty village situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the Exmoor National Park. Dulverton, a charming historic town known as "The Gateway to Exmoor", is situated just 5 miles away and provides excellent day to day shopping with amenities including pubs, tea rooms, restaurants, library, doctors, vets, dentist, pharmacy and primary school. Also within 5 miles is Wimbleball Lake, popular for walking and cycling and renowned for its fly fishing, sailing, rowing and many other activities at the Wimbleball Lake Outdoor Centre (). Tiverton to the south is approximately a 35 minute drive with dual carriageway access to Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway and Tiverton Parkway mainline station with services to London Paddington in just over 2 hours.
Riverview is situated in the heart of the village and set in half an acre of pretty cottage gardens, bordered by a stream and adjoining woodland. Believed to be at least 300 years old, this charming property offers spacious accommodation with a wealth of character throughout. A stable door leads into the spacious sitting/ dining room with wooden flooring and a stone fireplace with woodburning stove. The kitchen has ample fitted units, a range cooker and space for dishwasher and fridge, there is a useful pantry cupboard under the stairs and a utility room with a Belfast sink and ample space for white goods. The garden room is well positioned to enjoy the view over the garden and a door leads out to the driveway and garden beyond. Upstairs, there is a wide landing and four bedrooms all served by the family bathroom including a bath and separate shower.

Outside, to the front of the property is a pretty garden set behind a low stone wall. To the side, there is the driveway with parking, and to the rear is a terraced area leading off the sun room. The gardens are a particular feature of the property, the lower part being given to lawns and borders well stocked with shrubs and perennials. The half furthest from the house is given over to the support of wildlife, with fruit trees, wild flowers and a pond. The woods bordering the garden boast snowdrops in February and bluebells in the spring. There remain some goat sheds from Riverview's former use as a smallholding, but these are dilapidated. The garden offers wonderful views across the valley and surrounding countryside.
