Keld is a spacious (1220 sq ft), bright and tranquil, first floor apartment, built around 1900, and situated in the heart of the charming village of Porlock. It has been restyled and improved by new owners in 2023. New facilities include an electric shower, new cooker, dishwasher and a new front door. Several rooms have new carpets (March 2025). Photographs on canvas of coastal and Exmoor scenes adorn the walls, to inspire your exploration of Porlock and the beautiful Exmoor national park.
Keld Apartment is accessed via stone steps (with hand rail) up to the front door. Inside, eight stairs lead up to a small landing. From this landing there are three further stairs up to the master bedroom. From the landing to the right, there are five stairs to the kitchen and the rest of the apartment. An internal hallway leads away from the kitchen to the living-dining room, the twin and triple bedrooms and bathroom. The apartment has well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings. Please see the virtual tour which shows the exact layout of the apartment.
