Description

NO ONWARD CHAIN - A rare opportunity to acquire a semi detached thatched former fishermans cottage occupying a stunning and unique harbour side setting at Porlock Weir with direct access to a pebble beach. 2 x allocated parking spaces over footbridge.

The property enjoys magnificent views over the Bristol Channel, the Harbour, the Weir and woodlands and open countryside above. The 'landmark' property has been featured in numerous magazines and publications over many years and offers good sized three bedroom accommodation with gardens, two car parking spaces, gas fired central heating (bottle supply) and is of mainly stone construction with a predominately thatched and part tiled roof.

The small hamlet of Porlock Weir is situated within the Exmoor National Park with its attractive Harbour and local facilities including a Public House/Restaurant. It is of course situated in the Exmoor National Park and provides a fine base from which to engage in a variety of rural activities including fishing, sailing, walking and riding. The village of Porlock is approximately two miles distant and the larger coastal shopping centre of Minehead is approximately seven miles from the property with its wide range of shops, supermarkets and local schools. The County Town of Taunton with it access to a mainline railway station and the motorway network is approximately thirty miles distance. Many of the renown attractions of the Exmoor National Park and the North Devon Coastline are within easy motoring distance.
