Character-packed three-bedroom cottage with river views in peaceful Exmoor hamlet.
Riverside views overlooking the East Lyn River
Set in the hamlet of Brendon overlooking the East Lyn River, this well-presented three-bedroom stone cottage offers character, recent upgrades and easy access to Exmoor's walking country. The house spans three storeys with traditional features such as limestone floors, oak doors, a natural wood staircase and a sitting room with a log burner. The kitchen/breakfast room includes integrated appliances and a stable-style door to a low-maintenance garden designed to take advantage of the river view.
The current owner has completed substantial works: roof replacement, new plumbing and wiring, remodelling of kitchen and bathroom, landscaping and installation of a smart electric heating and hot water system. There is off-street parking and the property is sold freehold and with no onward chain, making it straightforward to move into.
Important practical considerations: the property lies in a high flood-risk area and has an EPC rating of E. Heating is electric via room heaters and the smart system, so running costs may be higher than fossil-fuel alternatives. Mobile signal is effectively absent and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect remote working or heavy internet use. The house has traditional granite walls assumed to be uninsulated internally.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a character property in a quiet Exmoor location, walking access on the doorstep and minimal garden upkeep. It will particularly appeal to those who value setting and presentation and who can accept the running-cost, connectivity and flood-risk trade-offs.
