Set on over 10 acres of hillside gardens and mixed woodland within Exmoor National Park, this modern detached cottage offers striking elevated views and privacy. Built in 2015 with stone-faced elevations and hardwood double glazing, the home is arranged over two storeys to make the most of the panorama: a triple-aspect open-plan living room with woodburner and bifold doors leads to a large paved terrace, while the principal bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling and full-height glazing.
The accommodation is straightforward and low-maintenance in layout: fitted kitchen with appliances, ground-floor cloakroom, two double bedrooms (one en-suite) and a family bathroom. Zoned electric underfloor heating provides comfortable warmth, and an attached double garage with gravel drive offers parking and turning space. A residual Buildstore 10-year guarantee remains in place from the original build.
There are practical considerations for modern life in this remote setting. The property relies on private water (spring supply) and private drainage; mains electricity only. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — suitable for countryside living but limiting for heavy home-working or streaming. Access is off a bridleway, which adds seclusion but may be impractical for frequent deliveries or large vehicles.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a quiet rural retreat or a retirement base with substantial grounds and sweeping views. It also offers renovation or landscaping potential across the sizeable plot. Buyers should be comfortable with self-sufficient services, occasional access constraints, and planning restrictions that can apply inside a national park.
