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. The whole area has an abundant selection of wildlife and the present owners have carried out careful conservation work to nurture the wild flora and fauna. Great Bradley Farmhouse Great Bradley sits in an enviable position hidden from public roads. The main entrance drive is of tarmacadam and leads down through the estate to the house. The house comprises a kitchen/ breakfast room, large dining room, drawing room, all with stunning views out over the Barle valley. Also on the ground floor is the utility room and indoor swimming pool with a small yoga studio. On the first floor there are five en suite bedrooms all of a good size. The master bedrooms also has a dressing room and balcony to enjoy the scenic beauty. The drawing room has large French doors leading out onto the terraced garden.

The Gardens The formal garden has a main lawn and series of terraces and garden compartments. The garden has spectacular views over the valley and the best drives that forms the core of the shoot. The terrace also leads round to a kitchen garden with fruit cage and slate bordered vegetable patches.
