The Great Bradley Estate
The Great Bradley Estate Withypool A sportsman’s paradise on Exmoor The Great Bradley Estate, Withypool, Somerset TA24 7RS Withypool 2 miles, Dulverton 7 miles, Taunton 28 miles, Tiverton Parkway 29 miles Exeter Airport 56 miles, London 180 miles Features: Principal house with five en suite bedrooms and indoor swimming pool | Two cottages | Shoot lodge | Stable yard Established high pheasant shoot, fishing and horse training facilities including a six furlong all weather gallop In all 364 acres (147 ha) Situation Great Bradley occupies a fantastic south facing position with wonderful views over the expansive Exmoor countryside and the Barle valley. It is surrounded by it’s own land, which provides useful paddocks and attractive mature woodland including three Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). Much of the land is steep, running down into the Barle valley, so it is ideal for the private but renowned pheasant shoot. Great Bradley sits in a very private position, near the centre of the estate. It has easy access to the small village of Withypool, about 2 miles away which offers everyday facilities and an excellent pub. Dulverton is about 7 miles to the south east and has more amenities and specialist shopping. Slightly further afield Tiverton and Taunton have supermarkets and more comprehensive facilities including leisure and recreation. Although Great Bradley is in the heart of Exmoor National Park, the M5 motorway can be accessed at Taunton (28 miles) or Tiverton (Junction 27). From Taunton the fastest mainline trains take about 1 hour 45 minutes to London Paddington. Exmoor National Park The National Park, which was designated in 1954, provides access for riding and walking over many thousands of acres of open moorland and its historic coastline, all directly accessible from the property. -
