SITUATION AND AMENITIES Cherryford nestles into a South facing sun-drenched hillside. The views across a wide expanse of Exmoor are both dramatic and beautiful. The property is set back from a little used, no through lane, surrounded by its own grounds, a mixture of gardens, pasture, and woodland, where deer and other wildlife are regular visitors. The location is both timeless and tranquil, and the local area is a walkers paradise with some of the most spectacular coastal walking in the country. With its 3 stables, a tack room, and four acres of pasture, it is ideal for a horse-lover or for a small holding.
