The property
Porlock 0.5 miles. Woodedge is a charming mid-terrace cottage nestled in the peaceful woodland valley of Hawkcombe, just half a mile from the picturesque village of Porlock in Somerset. This characterful retreat is ideal for couples or small families seeking a rural escape in the heart of Exmoor National Park. With its tranquil setting, enclosed garden, and traditional features, Woodedge offers a warm welcome to walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers alike. Step through the stable doors into the open-plan living space, where you’ll find a compact yet well-equipped kitchen, a small woodburning stove for toasty evenings, a Smart TV for relaxed entertainment, and a folding dining table with seating for three. The décor is simple and homely, with thoughtful touches throughout. A striking wrought iron spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where two snug bedrooms—a double and a single —share a bright shower room suite. Outside, a footbridge over a gentle stream leads to a peaceful enclosed garden with furniture, perfect for enjoying breakfast in the morning sun or a glass of wine in the evening. Porlock offers a selection of independent shops, traditional pubs, and welcoming cafés, all within walking distance. Nearby attractions include the South West Coast Path, the scenic Porlock Weir harbour, and the ancient woodland of Horner. Explore the heather-covered moorland of Dunkery Beacon, visit the charming village of Selworthy with its thatched cottages, or enjoy a day out in Minehead, home to a sandy beach, heritage railway, and family-friendly amusements. For a taste of local history, Dunster Castle and its medieval village are just a short drive away. Woodedge is a delightful base for discovering the natural beauty and timeless charm of Exmoor and the Somerset coast.
