Rose Cottage is a compact, characterful one-bedroom terrace tucked in Timberscombe, inside Exmoor National Park. The stone façade, slate roof and period windows give immediate cottage appeal, while a small allotment-style garden offers private outdoor space without heavy maintenance. Sold freehold and chain-free, the property suits buyers seeking a countryside retreat or short‑let investment.
Internally the layout is simple: an open kitchen/living space on the ground floor and a double bedroom with en‑suite above. Fixtures are functional — fitted kitchen, integrated hob and oven, double glazing and electric storage heaters — making the house habitable on purchase but with obvious scope to refresh and personalise.
Practical considerations are clear: the footprint is small (c.345 sq ft), ceiling heights are low and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs can be higher than modern homes. The property is affected by a flying freehold; buyers should obtain legal advice. Broadband and mobile connectivity are adequate for rural standards, and local amenities and walks are immediately accessible.
For investors the location inside Exmoor and the village setting create straightforward holiday‑let potential; for an owner‑occupier it’s best suited to a single person or couple looking to downsize or have a second home. The motivated sellers and chain-free status may assist a swift purchase, but factor in modest renovation and insulation work to improve comfort and running costs.
