Set in the heart of Porlock within Exmoor National Park, this substantial three-bedroom detached home combines period character with practical modern upgrades. Flagstone floors, exposed beams and dual wood-burning stoves give the house a warm, historic feel, while recent landscaping has created an attractive, low-maintenance garden and generous off-street parking.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors with a large kitchen-diner running the full depth of the house, a double-aspect lounge opening to a paved veranda, two first-floor double bedrooms and a spacious top-floor principal bedroom with exposed beams, storage and an en-suite. The house benefits from double glazing and an oil-fired central heating system that serves the Rayburn and radiators.
Practical positives include vacant possession with no onward chain, a decent plot and easy parking for several vehicles via double gates. The location delivers village convenience, low local crime and excellent mobile signal; Exmoor’s walking and country pursuits are literally on the doorstep. Broadband is average and local services such as a primary school, shops and eateries are within easy reach.
To be clear on the compromises: the property is of traditional stone construction likely without cavity wall insulation, the heating runs on private oil (not a communal or mains gas supply), and the principal bedroom has some restricted head height in areas. The EPC is modest, so further insulation or heating upgrades would improve long‑term running costs and comfort. Overall, this is a characterful, chain-free family home with good scope to enhance energy efficiency and personalise finishes.
