A compact 1940s timber bungalow tucked into 2.3 acres of sessile oak woodland within Exmoor National Park. The single-storey layout includes a living room with mezzanine and log burner, open-plan kitchen/dining, double bedroom and bathroom — a proven holiday let in a highly private setting. The site’s woodland and immediate terrace create strong appeal for short-term holiday rental or as a secluded weekend retreat.
This is non-traditional construction (timber) and sits in a high flood-risk area; any redevelopment or substantial alteration will need planning and statutory consents. Services are basic: private spring water, private drainage, mains electricity, and an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating. Mobile reception is absent and broadband speeds are very slow — factors that will affect year-round residential use and some holiday renters.
There is clear upside for an investor or owner-occupier seeking a rural holiday income or smallholding extension: two nearby parcels (6.46 acres in total) and a stone linhay can be bought separately by negotiation. The property’s seclusion, Exmoor location and existing holiday-trading history are strong marketable advantages, but buyers should budget for timber maintenance, possible refurbishment and consider flood resilience measures.
In short: an attractive, characterful woodland cottage with holiday income potential and room to expand land holdings — balanced by access, service limitations and material flood risk that require careful due diligence.
