Little Thatch is a picture‑postcard thatched cottage tucked close to Porlock village centre and Exmoor National Park. The house blends original character—exposed beams, deep window sills and a cosy fireplace—with practical updates such as a fitted country-style kitchen, modern shower room and a useful rear utility. Freehold and offered chain free, it’s ready to occupy or let straight away.
The property’s compact layout (about 610 sq ft) makes it especially appropriate for downsizers or those seeking a low‑maintenance village base. Two first-floor bedrooms are peaceful and characterful; the rear courtyard opens directly onto the Hawkcombe Stream and the adjacent Recreation Ground, giving a rare sense of immediate outdoor space despite a very small plot.
Buyers should note some important constraints: room sizes and ceiling heights are modest throughout, and the plot is very small. The cottage sits stream-side so there is a medium flooding risk to be considered. The hot water cylinder is supplied via an electric immersion heater, which may affect running costs compared with gas.
Porlock offers everyday amenities within a short walk — shops, pubs, a primary school rated Good, and local leisure facilities — while Exmoor and the coast are close by for walking and tourism. With low council tax, excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds, Little Thatch suits someone after a characterful, convenient village home or a holiday-let/retirement bolt-hole in a highly desirable location.
