This attractive four-bedroom mid-terrace sits in the heart of Porlock within Exmoor National Park, offering period character and practical family living across three floors. The house combines original features — bay windows and fireplaces — with a modern fitted kitchen and an open-plan lounge/diner, giving immediate move-in comfort with scope to personalise. A small, low-maintenance front garden and an enclosed rear garden with decking extend the living space outdoors.
The accommodation works well for family life: two generous double bedrooms, a converted attic room and a fourth bedroom/office provide flexible space. Oil-fired central heating and double glazing (installed post-2002) are in place, but the stone walls appear uninsulated which may affect running costs. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, simplifying a quick sale.
Important practical points: the recorded flood-risk flag for the plot is high, so buyers should obtain specialist flood and insurance advice. The house is an older build (pre-1900) and, while presented in good decorative order, the walls are assumed to lack insulation and there may be opportunities to improve energy efficiency. Broadband and mobile coverage are good for the area, and local amenities — primary school, shops and cafés — are within easy reach.
For buyers seeking a village home with character and clear potential, this property is a solid proposition. It will suit families or those wanting a second home close to the coast and countryside; expect modest running costs until insulation and energy upgrades are addressed.
