Ashwick House is unique and snuggles in glorious isolation on the south eastern edge of Exmoor National Park, high above the lush tree clad valley of the tumbling River Barle.It is a place where moorland, pasture and woodland meet. For fugitives from work and the stresses of urban life arriving at Ashwick is like stepping into another world.

Six acres of beautiful grounds surround the house, with sweeping lawns leading down to secluded water gardens. The gardens are home to many kinds of wildlife, including pheasants, moorhens, squirrels, foxes and rabbits. At dawn or dusk it¹s possible to spot magnificent red deer emerging from their woodland hideaways to graze.

At the heart of Ashwick House is a baronial style galleried hall furnished by the new owners with oriental pieces, which blend well with the Edwardian ambience. In winter months and chillier days its focal point is a welcoming log fire. Other reception rooms such as the library or oriental themed lounge are also available to residents.
