This superbly appointed, Edwardian-style residence occupies a south-facing position on the lower slopes of North Hill, in the popular coastal town of Minehead.
The four-bedroom detached property sits within large but secluded gardens that extend to around half an acre, and from where it’s possible to appreciate the special views over the town, along the coast, and towards the surrounding countryside.
Over the years, the current owners have extended and refurbished the house to a high standard, resulting in a comfortable family home that, although modernised throughout, still retains its original charm. Characterful period features include bedroom balconies, sash windows, picture rails, stripped wood flooring, and fireplaces.
Inside, the sitting room is well-proportioned, with a focal fireplace, a bay window, and French doors that open to the veranda. The dining room is equally pleasant with a double aspect and an attractive brick-built fireplace. The breakfast room leads into the modern fitted kitchen with a large island unit, integrated appliances, and bi-fold doors to the side leading to the patio. There is also a hobbies room with windows to the front and rear.
On the first floor, the landing is spacious enough to accommodate a quiet area for reading or studying and leads to the four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a large bay window, French doors that open out to a balcony, and an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom also benefits from an ensuite shower room and double doors opening to a Juliet balcony, while the further two bedrooms also have lovely balconies. A family bathroom completes this floor.
Outside, a good-sized patio area sits right next to the house and affords stunning views over the surrounding countryside. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn and features raised vegetable and herb beds, a greenhouse, a large shed, and an attractive seating area.
To the front, the short driveway provides space for off-road parking and leads to a garage.
