Set within Exmoor National Park, this detached three-bedroom bungalow occupies a large, mature plot with a small stream and established specimen planting. The house, built in the early 1990s, offers generous, versatile accommodation over two floors: a bright sitting room with woodburner and sliding doors to the garden, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite. Two good-sized first-floor double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom complete the living space.
Practical features include oil-fired central heating, double glazing and a single garage with wide gravel drive providing excellent parking and turning space. The property is well presented and sold inclusive of fitted carpeting. A paved terrace and pedestrian gate give easy access into the village centre where local shops and services are a few minutes’ walk away.
Notable positives are the level gardens, privacy from mature planting, and the village location close to amenities and countryside walks. Drawbacks to note: the access lane is narrow (first visits may require parking at the village car park), heating is oil-fired which can be costly and subject to supply/price fluctuations, and council tax banding is described as expensive. Any purchaser should confirm heating and energy arrangements and consider whether modernisation or adaptation is desired.
This home will suit buyers seeking a private village house with sizable gardens and scope to personalise. Investors should note limited rental yield potential in rural settings; families and downsizers will value the level plot, ground-floor bedroom and close village amenities.
