A spacious three-bedroom semi-detached cottage in the heart of Exmoor National Park, The Old Chapel offers generous living space across two floors and a large plot with courtyard garden. The open-plan kitchen/diner and double-aspect sitting room both feature multi-fuel stoves, creating warm, sociable spaces for family life or relaxed retirement living. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and two further well-proportioned bedrooms complete the first floor.
This property is being marketed as suitable for retirement living and can be purchased via the Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise for over‑60s. The Lifetime Lease guide price is £251,250 (illustrative average saving ~33%); full market value is £375,000. Homewise allows purchase of up to 50% of the property value to safeguard an equity share — actual Lifetime Lease price varies by age and circumstances. If you are under 60 you may purchase at the full market price.
Important practical points: the house has experienced flooding in 2012, 2016 and 2023; flood boards and three internal sumps are in place. Flood risk is recorded as medium. There is no mobile signal at the property, though broadband speeds are reported as fast. Tenure details are not confirmed—your solicitor must verify tenure, fixtures, and any planning consents.
For buyers seeking a large, characterful home in a remote, low-crime setting with substantial garage and garden, this offers strong potential. It suits those prioritising countryside lifestyle and space, who will account for past flooding and remote-location limitations before viewing.
