Sanctuary Cottage is a 17th‑century Grade II listed thatched semi with immense character in the heart of Porlock. Interior features include exposed beams, inglenook fireplace with multi‑fuel burner, window seats and three versatile reception rooms — one formerly a shop — giving flexible family living space close to village amenities.
The house provides four bedrooms (two en‑suite) and a family bathroom across an approximately 1,610 sq ft layout. A fitted kitchen/breakfast room and useful cloakroom serve daily life, while secondary glazing and storage/panel electric heating are already installed.
Outside, a small front shrub garden, an enclosed rear courtyard with climbing plants and a private stone‑walled seating area provide sheltered outdoor space suited to low‑maintenance entertaining. The cottage sits within Exmoor National Park and is roughly a mile from the sea.
Important practical points: Grade II listing and thatched roof will restrict changes and increase maintenance and insurance costs. Heating is electric storage/panel-based, which may be more expensive than mains gas alternatives.
