Property information

Ormrods is situated in an elevated position within the village of Withypool off a no-through lane, with far reaching views towards the Moor and over the River Barle. Comprehensively refurbished throughout in recent years to a high standard, this is a very comfortable three bedroom detached house. Ormrods is situated within one acre of private gardens which lead directly down to the River Barle (property not suitable for children under 5 years for this reason). The living accommodation is on the first floor making the best of the extensive views over the Moor towards the south, east and west. Bi-fold doors lead from the living room and dining area onto a south facing balcony with table and chairs to make the most of those long summer evenings. Having been comprehensively remodelled and refurbished throughout 2010 the property comprises very comfortable holiday accommodation for up to 6 guests. Please note: towels, tea towels and bath mats are not provided - please bring your own.

Neighbourhood information

Withypool is a small village in Somerset near the centre of the Exmoor National Park. Interestingly the name Withy means Willow of which many can be seen along the riverbank. Withypool is situated within the Barle Valley with the River Barle running through the middle. The Two Moors Way also passed through the village. To the southwest of the Village lies Withypool Common and Withypool Hill. The area of Withypool has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and a stone circle can still be seen on top of Withypool Hill. Withypool is mentioned in the Domesday Book and in the 14th century Geoffrey Chaucer was in charge of the village in his duties as forester of North Petherton. Other such notable connections are that the artist Alfred Munnings had a studio in the loft of the Royal Oak (the village pub) and R.D Blackmore wrote part of Lorna Doone in the bar. There is also a local shop, post office and tea rooms within the village.
