Summary - Heber Vale, Timberscombe TA24 7TU
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Secluded countryside home with over six acres and substantial parking.
Four/five bedroom detached home with character features
Heber Vale is a rare, chain-free four/five bedroom detached home set deep within Exmoor National Park, offered with about 6.24 acres of grounds including pasture, orchard and private gardens. The house blends 17th-century character—exposed stone, vaulted bedrooms and a rustic sitting room with wood burner—with a modern farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room and versatile ground-floor bedroom with shower. Its private drive and extensive parking deliver seclusion and practical access for multiple vehicles.
This property will suit buyers who value space, landscape and outdoor pursuits: the large pasture is suitable for grazing, equestrian or amenity use and the recent orchard planting adds immediate interest. The village of Timberscombe provides essential services and easy access to Minehead; the location is excellent for countryside walking and country sport while remaining within reach of regional centres.
Important practical points are clear: the house uses electric night storage heaters and mains electric, water with private drainage. The stone walls are thought to be uninsulated, glazing has been upgraded post-2002 and broadband speeds are slow. The property has experienced partial flooding (January 2023 and previously) and lies in a high flood-risk area; it is currently insurable for flooding. A public footpath crosses part of the land as shown on mapping.
Overall, Heber Vale offers significant land, privacy and period charm with ready-to-enjoy accommodation. It is a strong opportunity for families or buyers wanting a countryside lifestyle—though expect running-cost considerations, potential insulation/energy improvements, and flood-mitigation planning before making longer-term changes.
