Summary - Kingford House, Longmead EX35 6DQ
6 bed 6 bath Detached
Spacious family living with large south-facing garden and garage.
Six double bedrooms with five en‑suites and a separate family bathroom
Kingford House is a spacious Edwardian detached home set on a very large 0.32-acre plot on the edge of Exmoor National Park. The house offers six double bedrooms across three storeys, five en-suites and a family bathroom, making it genuinely flexible for a large family or multigenerational living. Internally you’ll find high ceilings, large reception rooms, a recently fitted quality kitchen, underfloor heating to the kitchen/utility and cast-iron radiators to principal rooms for character and comfort.
Outside, the south-facing, well-enclosed gardens, separate garage/workshop, and parking for six to seven cars are notable assets for country living. Solar PV panels (installed 2013) and an EV charging point help reduce running costs and provide some export income. The property’s setting gives easy access to the Valley of Rocks, the coastal path and village amenities while being within reach of larger towns and transport links.
Important practical points: the house runs on oil-fired central heating and the EPC is rated F. External walls are original granite/whinstone and are assumed to have no insulation, so heating costs and upgrade work should be anticipated. Planning conditions expressly prohibit occupation as a second home or as holiday‑letting accommodation, so any commercial or holiday use is not permitted.
Overall this is a characterful, versatile family home with significant plot, parking and modernised facilities, but buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and higher council tax (Band F). Its location and scale will suit buyers seeking spacious period living close to Exmoor rather than those wanting a holiday-let investment.
