Lane End Cottage is a rare, beautifully presented Grade II listed cottage on the edge of Exmoor, marrying 16th‑century character with a substantial modern extension. The current owners have sympathetically renovated and extended the property to create generous living spaces, including a 32ft kitchen/dining/family room with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and underfloor heating — perfect for family life and entertaining. South‑facing gardens of around two‑thirds of an acre offer far‑reaching Mole Valley views and multiple outbuildings useful for hobbies, home working or storage.
Internally the house offers flexible accommodation: a spacious open-plan family hub, two reception rooms, a ground‑floor double bedroom and shower room, plus two first‑floor double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Character features — flagstone floors, inglenook fireplaces, a thatched roof and mezzanine office reached by a spiral staircase — give the home a distinctive historic atmosphere while the recent works deliver modern comfort.
There are practical considerations to note. Grade II listing and the thatched roof restrict alterations and may lead to higher maintenance or specialist repair costs. Council tax is above average and broadband speeds are only average, reflecting the remoter village location. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal, very low local crime and off‑street parking for several vehicles.
For buyers seeking a substantial, characterful rural home within striking distance of village amenities and schools, Lane End Cottage offers established grounds, superb internal space and scope for adaptable use of workshops and studios. It will particularly suit buyers who value period detail and countryside views and who understand the responsibilities of owning a listed thatched property.
