Tucked behind Porlock High Street, this detached two-bedroom cottage blends genuine period character with practical modern fittings. The triple-aspect sitting/dining room features exposed beams, a stone fireplace and woodburner, creating a warm, characterful living space for village life or holiday lets. The kitchen is a modern shaker style with slate flooring and integrated oven; the bathroom offers a roll-top bath plus a separate shower.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, compact enclosed side storage, and central heating. Note the listing references LPG central heating, while other records mention mains gas—buyers should verify fuel type and service history. The cottage sits on a small plot with limited outdoor space, so landscaping potential is modest.
Built before 1900 in granite/whinstone, the walls are likely uninsulated; this is typical of period cottages and could mean higher heating costs unless upgraded. The property is freehold, in Exmoor National Park, with low local crime, good mobile signal and average broadband speeds. Council Tax band D and nearby amenities, village services and coastal walks make it suitable as a holiday rental, second home or a compact main residence for those seeking village life.
Important practical points: measurements are for guidance only and services/appliances have not been tested. A buyer should commission their own survey, confirm heating fuel/source, and consider insulation or energy-efficiency improvements if required.
