Summary - HIGHER SMINHAYS COTTAGE BRENDON HILL WATCHET TA23 0LG
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Charming rural retreat with large garden and excellent broadband.
Two double bedrooms with exposed beams and countryside views
Higher Sminhays Cottage is a quintessential thatched stone cottage set on the edge of the Brendon Hills within Exmoor National Park. The house offers two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a country-style kitchen-diner, all arranged over two floors and benefitting from exposed beams, a feature fireplace with wood-burner and wonderful uninterrupted countryside views. The gardens are extensive for the plot type, with lawn, vegetable beds, outbuildings, a chicken coop and a large gravelled parking area.
Practical connections include private water supply, septic tank drainage and ultrafast broadband (Openreach). Note the low internal ceilings and generally small room sizes typical of older cottages; these create a cosy feel but limit some modern layout changes. The building is stone (granite/whinstone) constructed before 1900 and the walls are assumed uninsulated internally.
Buyers should plan for routine thatch maintenance and investigate the heating/fuel arrangements: the particulars reference electric boiler/radiators and elsewhere mention Calor gas central heating, so prospective purchasers should confirm current heating type and fuel costs. The property is freehold, has very low flood risk, very low local crime and sits in a peaceful, remote hamlet — ideal for walkers, riders or those seeking rural tranquillity, but less suited to buyers wanting an urban commute lifestyle.
