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.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
