Marleys Row, Porlock TA24

Charming period cottage presented in excellent condition throughout with 3 double bedrooms, large open plan living space, garden and off road parking. Situated in the heart of the popular Exmoor National Park village of Porlock and for sale with no onward chain.

Benefitting from full double glazing and electric night storage heaters, the property has been lovingly upgraded and maintained, whilst retaining many character features such as open fireplaces, flagstone floors and shuttered windows. The accommodation comprises, on the ground floor - porch, open plan sitting/dining room with wood burner, kitchen with stable door to the garden, and a bathroom. The first floor offers 3 good sized double bedrooms.

Externally the property is accessed via a small lane off the centre of the village, making it a perfect mix of being quiet but still very accessible to the village amenities. On reaching Marleys Row, off road parking for 1 car can be found. The garden leads on from here and is made up from patios, a small area of lawn, gravelled areas, and a wide variety of mature shrubs and trees. A path leads through the garden and then splits, leading down both the front and rear of the terrace. There is scope to redirect the path to create a more private garden, subject to the relevant consents. There is also considerable scope to create more parking, again subject to any relevant consents.

The property is situated a short walk from the centre of Porlock which has twice been named best village in Somerset with the judges saying 'the range of facilities for young and old would be impressive in a settlement many times bigger - but in a village with 1,188 people on the electoral role it was "remarkable". There is good range of local shops, restaurants, galleries and a large range of pubs which are patronised year round by locals and visitors alike. The village is a highly attractive and thriving coastal centre set on the edge of Exmoor and adjacent to large areas managed by the National Trust. The area is ideal for walkers and those who enjoy country pursuits with many walks directly accessible from the village. Nearby is the quaint and much photographed Porlock Weir Harbour. The coastal resort of Minehead 6 miles to the East provides a wide range of facilities and the county town of Taunton provides access to the motorway and fast trains to London (from 1 hour 40 minutes).
