Substantial Grade II Listed house originally part of the former Rectory with impressive views to the sea and hills of Exmoor. 4 Bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, 3 bathrooms, potential for annexe, beautiful gardens and double garage.
SITUATION
The property is situated in a stunning location above the town of Minehead, with panoramic views towards the Exmoor National Park and the Bristol Channel. Located in the popular residential area of North Hill, the property benefits from glorious views whilst also having easy access to the centre of town. Minehead, being the principal town of West Somerset, provides a wide range of shopping, banking and educational facilities, whilst also catering for various leisure interests, including an 18-hole Golf Course and marine activities.
.
Taunton, the county town, provides a comprehensive range of shopping, schools and recreational facilities as well as a mainline railway link to London (Paddington) and a M5 motorway interchange.
.
The property lies in a lovely position taking advantage of the excellent footpath and bridleway network up onto North Hill, the South West Coast Path and across the Exmoor National Park.
DESCRIPTION
Part of a former Rectory dating back to the 18th Century with later 19th Century additions, the property is Listed Grade II for its architectural and historic importance and offers comfortable and flexible accommodation whilst maintaining many character features. Characteristically for a property of this age, the rooms are very well proportioned with excellent ceiling heights and large windows.
ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation is particularly well appointed, as illustrated by the floor plan, and benefits from many features, including casement and sash windows and a lovely fireplace. A covered porch leads through a particularly noteworthy door into the dining hall and to a stunning drawing room, which enjoys spectacular views of the hills of Exmoor, a kitchen with gas-fired 4-oven Aga, and a large utility/office room on the ground floor. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, the master having lovely views over the sea and the Quantock Hills. In addition there are three bath/shower rooms.
OUTSIDE
The property benefits from two good sized garages and off-road parking. From here steps lead up to the front of the house and around to the side to a patio area placed to enjoy the stunning views over the town and out towards the coast and the hills of Exmoor. To the rear of the house is an outbuilding, the ground floor of which is split into useful storage areas and a gardeners loo, whilst the first floor has been converted and now accommodates a bedroom and en-suite shower. The ground floor of this building, which leads down to a wine cellar, has the potential (subject to the usual consents) to be converted along with the first floor, to form a self-contained annexe.
.
The gardens are a particular feature of the property and have been beautifully landscaped to create a number of distinct areas, with a large patio, gently sloping lawns, various flower and shrub borders as well as a more natural wooded area. Also, there is a beautiful Mulberry tree which is said to have been planted at the order of King George 3rd when he decreed that all vicarage gardens should have one in order to encourage the silk industry in the area.
.
Extending in all to approximately 1670 sq m (18,000 sq ft).
