Tithebarn Cottage is a Grade II* listed stone barn conversion tucked in the National Trust village of Selworthy, within Exmoor National Park. The house balances historic character — exposed beams, leaded windows and fireplaces — with practical rooms, including a generous kitchen/dining room that looks towards Dunkery. The setting is peaceful, with woodland walks nearby and coast a few miles away.
The layout works well for downsizers seeking a comfortable, characterful home: principal and second double bedrooms on the first floor, a study/third bedroom on the ground floor, and a sitting room with an open fire for cosy evenings. Electric heating provides simplicity, and a walk-in pantry and built-in cupboards add useful storage.
There are some important practical considerations. The Grade II* listing restricts alterations and may complicate maintenance or upgrades. Broadband speeds are very slow, and heating is electric rather than gas, which could affect running costs. Parking is limited to an off-street space rather than a garage, and the property sits in a hamlet environment with limited local services.
For someone who values period charm, scenic views and a quiet National Trust village lifestyle, this cottage offers immediate enjoyment and long-term appeal. Buyers should budget for listed-building care and accept some compromises on modern connectivity and heating efficiency.
