"NEW PRICE" 500 Year Old Thatched Cottage - Somerset

Limewalk Cottage is a gorgeous 500 year old thatched cottage set in the older part of Monksilver village, which is in the Exmoor National Park (an area of outstanding natural beauty).  This village is one of the most attractive and sought after within West Somerset and is lovely and peaceful and unspoilt with lots of walks on your doorstep.  The house has recently been re-thatched (Dec 2007). The house is lovely and cosy in the winter with the aga in the kitchen (cooks the best roast ever and cakes to dream of) and the woodlburner set into the large inglenook of  the large lounge.  In summer, due to the thickness of the walls and the one foot thick thatch roof, the house stays wonderfully cool.  Lots of character with exposed beams throughout, 3 large inglenook fireplaces (kitchen, dining area and lounge) and window seats in lounge and dining area.
