Grade II Listed cottage — restrictions on alterations
Moorside is a roomy Grade II Listed two-bedroom semi-detached cottage set on the lower slopes of North Hill, on the edge of Exmoor National Park. Recently updated, it retains original character — exposed beams, feature fireplaces and a sunroom — while offering modern comforts including a fitted kitchen and gas central heating. The mature, well-established front garden, covered patio, summerhouse, workshop and greenhouse give generous outdoor space for gardening and entertaining. A garage and off‑road parking add practical convenience.
This property will suit buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing space or character: two substantial double bedrooms, two reception rooms and ample built-in storage mean comfortable everyday living. The large plot and prominent position offer pleasant outlooks and easy access to coastal and country walks. Broadband is FTTC with typical top speeds around 58 Mbps; mobile signal is excellent for calls and data.
Buyers should note material constraints: its Grade II Listed status will restrict external and some internal changes and may complicate major alterations or extensions. Although the house has been newly renovated, ceilings are generally low and some rooms are compact — typical of period cottages. There is a medium surface-water flood risk (very low river/sea risk). Crime levels in the area are reported above average; purchasers may wish to check local statistics.
Practical details: freehold tenure, gas central heating, garage and parking, council tax band D. The location offers schools, shops and leisure in Minehead and immediate access to Exmoor for countryside activities, making this a characterful, low-maintenance option for buyers prioritising location and period charm over scope for large-scale remodelling.
