Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Minehead, TA24 :
Two character properties in one!
Substantial 16th century 4 bedroom house and delightful 2 bedroom former bakery with balcony set in beautiful secluded gardens. Situated at the heart of the lovely coastal village of Porlock, ideal family home with annexe or guest house.
The challenge for an agent selling this property is to ensure that interested parties appreciate the extent and quality of property that lies behind the road frontage. The main house combines all the character features of a property of this age with all the comforts of modern living. The master bedroom has the feel of a suite and has picture window views over the magnificent rear garden and a large beautifully presented en-suite bathroom. There are three further double rooms and two further bathrooms. The ground floor has a substantial lounge with large beams and an inglenook fireplace, impressive, fully fitted kitchen breakfast room, utility, dining room and study area.
The gardens are a special feature of the property and as will be seen from our photos are very well stocked with many tender and exotic plants which thrive in the coastal sheltered micro climate. At the end of the garden adjoining Hawkcombe Stream is an annexe converted from a former bakery. The conversion has skilfully used the character features to provide a highly attractive two bedroom dwelling. This could either be used for a family seeking two generation living space or as principal accommodation for the owners who could then use the main house as a 4 bedroom Bed and Breakfast or Guest House.
Situation
The property is situated right at the heart of Porlock which has a good range of local shops, restaurants and galleries. The village is a highly attractive and thriving coastal centre set on the edge of Exmoor and adjacent to large areas managed by the National Trust. The area is ideal for walkers and those who enjoy country pursuits with many walks directly accessible from the village. Nearby is the quaint and much photographed Porlock Weir Harbour. The coastal resort of Minehead 6 miles to the East provides a wide range of facilities and the county town of Taunton provides access to the motorway and fast trains to London (from 1 hour 40 minutes)
