Hawkcombe, Porlock, Minehead, Somerset, TA24

A quintessential 3 bedroom Exmoor cottage in an idyllic woodland setting nestled in the heart of the enchanting wooded Hawkcombe Valley and just a mile or so from the coast.

Rencott is a truly charming and beautifully presented semi-detached period cottage tucked away in a sheltered position on the edge of this thriving Exmoor village offering peace, privacy, and proximity to nature. Surrounded by ancient woodland and just half a mile from local shops, cafés and amenities, with immediate access to some of the region's finest moorland and woodland walks and perfect as a primary residence, countryside escape, or high-end holiday let.

This delightful home seamlessly blends characterful period features with tasteful modern touches and has been sympathetically updated and offers comfortable accommodation with LPG fired central heating, extensive double glaszing and in brief comprises; a stained glass and leaded front door opens into an inviting entrance porch with quarry tiled floor, leading through to a characterful reception room with slate flooring, timber panelling, and an open staircase.

The cosy sitting room features exposed ceiling beams, a charming window seat, and a woodburning stove set into a traditional fireplace the perfect spot for unwinding after a day exploring the moors. The kitchen/diner is a standout feature: a beautifully styled and light-filled space with bay window seat, Belfast sink, a mix of fitted and freestanding dresser-style units, timber and slate worktops, ceramic hob, oven, Rayburn, and ample room for family dining.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three delightful bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes and delightful views over the surrounding woodland.
