3 bedroom detached house

Higher Combe is delightfully located off a bridle way in an idyllic and picturesque setting in the beautiful wooded valley of Hawkcombe within a mile or so of the highly regarded Exmoor village of Porlock and a further half a mile from the sea.

Believed to have been built around 1870 and having pleasing stone elevations under a tiled roof and with a later two storey extension. The cottage offers well proportioned and tastefully modernised accommodation with oil fired central heating and replacement double glazed windows.

The property is set in around 1.77 acres of riverside gardens with paddock and a traditional stable block which will no doubt attract those with equestrian interests given the direct access to bridleways and miles of riding country. There is also the added attraction of having two parcels of woodland amounting to around 2.5 acres.
