Summary - LYN COTTAGE BRENDON LYNTON EX35 6PS
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Charming three-bedroom cottage with river views and detached garage.
Riparian (fishing) rights along East Lyn River included
Set on the banks of the East Lyn River in the Brendon Valley, Lyn Cottage is a newly renovated Victorian stone home with clear riverside character. The house offers three double bedrooms, a 22-foot living room with a log burner, a garden room with bifold doors and framed water views, plus a detached garage and a cottage garden planted to take advantage of the outlook. Riparian (fishing) rights for the property’s river frontage are included.
The current owner completed extensive works including a new roof, double‑glazed sash windows and interior remodelling, so the house feels refreshed while retaining period features. The plot is a decent size with gated access, mature planting and a peaceful natural setting inside Exmoor National Park, ideal for walkers and nature lovers.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the property is in a high flood‑risk area, has limited mobile signal and very slow broadband, and uses electric room heaters with a private treatment plant for drainage. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the EPC is rated E, so there is scope (and potential cost) for energy efficiency improvements. Council tax band is D and the freehold includes the riparian rights but prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves about flood insurance and maintenance responsibilities.
This is a characterful riverside cottage for someone wanting a well‑finished period home in an isolated, scenic location. It suits buyers prioritising setting, views and rural lifestyle over immediate transport or connectivity convenience, and it offers clear potential for further energy and environmental improvements.
