Set on The Ridge with uninterrupted views across Exmoor, Freshfields is a substantial three-bedroom family home offered chain-free and freehold. The house sits on a very large, well-maintained plot with a private front garden, secluded rear lawn, paved sun terrace, garage, workshop and off-street parking — ideal for outdoor family life and entertaining. The garden room/conservatory and generous living/dining rooms make the most of the outlook and natural light.
The accommodation includes a large ground-floor reception layout (including a ground-floor bedroom), a fitted kitchen with induction hob and double ovens, and a master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. Practical features include double glazing fitted since 2002, oil-fired central heating with boiler and underfloor heating in parts, and useful outbuildings including a workshop and storage shed. Broadband is FTTC (up to 80 Mbps) and mobile signal from major networks is excellent.
Buyers should note the property has some dated mid-century decor and will suit those prepared to modernise to their taste. Running costs may be higher than gas-fired alternatives due to oil heating, and the property is in Council Tax Band F. While broadly well maintained, the age of the house (1930s–1940s construction) means prospective purchasers should allow for typical maintenance and possible upgrades.
This location will particularly appeal to families or those seeking a quieter, rural lifestyle within reach of Porlock village amenities and Exmoor National Park. Internal viewing is advised to appreciate the size of the accommodation, the private gardens and the exceptional elevated views.
