Two double bedrooms in a character Victorian cottage
Brook Cottage is a charming two-double-bedroom Victorian character cottage tucked in the heart of Timberscombe within Exmoor National Park. Presented with a pleasing mix of period features — exposed beams, brickwork and sash windows — and modern comforts including double glazing and LPG central heating, the house offers immediate move-in appeal for a small family or downsizer seeking rural life. The sitting/dining room, kitchen, utility and handy ground-floor WC give practical family living space across an efficient 620 sqft footprint.
Outside, the property benefits from a south-easterly main garden with a sunny patio, mature shrub beds and a small shed—ideal for outside dining and children's play—plus one allocated off-street parking space and further on-street parking. The front has been landscaped for low maintenance and there is a useful log store and bin area. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent, making the location workable for occasional remote working and day-to-day connectivity.
The cottage sits in a popular Exmoor village that offers countryside access, a primary school rated Good, a post office, pub and local amenities; Minehead (6 miles) provides larger shops, services and rail connections. Notable negatives are the property’s modest internal size, classification of the wider area as relatively deprived and ageing, and a medium flood risk which should be considered by buyers. Overall, this freehold cottage is a characterful, well-presented home suited to buyers prioritising village life and outdoor access rather than large modern living spaces.
