Chapel Cottage is a three-bedroom period semi-detached cottage tucked in the picturesque Exmoor village of Bridgetown. Light fills the sitting/dining room where character features and wood-burning stoves create a warm, cosy centre to the home. The well-equipped kitchen links to a practical utility and a downstairs shower room; upstairs the principal bedroom includes an en-suite WC with scope to add a shower.
Outside, an enclosed southerly-facing garden with paved patio, lawn and flower beds offers private outdoor space and direct side access to the lane. The cottage sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is minutes from Wimbleball Lake and five miles from Dulverton’s shops and services — ideal for countryside living and outdoor recreation.
Practical points to note: heating is by LPG gas; there is no private parking (on-street parking nearby); mobile signal is reported as none. The property lies in Flood Zone 3 — the garden flooded in 2023 and a small amount of water entered the kitchen (no insurance claim required). Floors downstairs are tiled. These are important considerations for insurance, access and future maintenance.
This freehold cottage is best suited to buyers seeking a characterful rural home or a country base close to Exmoor’s amenities. It represents comfortable, modest-sized accommodation with potential to improve or adapt subject to preference and costings.
