... ½ mile from Blackmoor Gate, in a high Exmoor valley, is Bridwick Farmhouse, a large, detached family house, built in 1850s as a ‘gentleman’s residence’ (still has the original brass servants’ bells), in the midst of the owners’ busy, working 500 acre sheep/cattle farm. Wistlandpound Reservoir (trout fishing), ½ mile walk across fields, and beautiful moorland walks within an easy drive; lovely star-gazing skies (no light pollution). The friendly, caring owners, whose families have farmed Exmoor for generations and who will make you very welcome, live 200 yards away. The house is very homely, surprisingly spacious; most windows overlook the working farm (fine views).
