A beautifully remodelled detached cottage within Exmoor National Park. This substantial three-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of traditional character and modern comfort. Set in a practical and accessible position within Barbrook, it lies just moments from the sought-after coastal villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, with their wide range of amenities and access to breath-taking countryside and coastal walks.The property has been extensively refurbished and reconfigured in recent years, resulting in a charming and distinctive home that reflects the essence of a period cottage while providing the ease of modern living. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is tastefully presented throughout and benefits from LPG central heating (via an underground tank), electric underfloor heating, two log burners and double glazing.On entering the home, youre welcomed into a tiled entrance hall, where an oak staircase with stair runner and a cast iron radiator immediately set the tone for the quality and warmth found throughout. The sitting room is a bright, dual-aspect space with a traditional fireplace and wood-burning stove. The kitchen/dining room is both functional and full of character. The dining area features an inset fireplace, engineered oak flooring, a wood burner on a slate hearth, and built-in storage, along with a large front-facing window that fills the space with natural light. The kitchen is laid with subtle quarry tiling and fitted with plywood wall and base units, granite work surfaces, and a central island. A Belfast sink, integrated oven, gas hob with extractor, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer complete this well-equipped space.

French doors made from solid wood open to the garden, while a secondary door leads to the rear of the property. Stairs also lead down from here to the lower ground floor, where a cosy and inviting office or fourth bedroom with a side window and cast-iron radiator offers the perfect retreat.Upstairs, the landing is bright and airy thanks to a Velux window. There are three bedrooms on this level, including two generous doubles.
