Summary - Old Cleeve, Minehead, Somerset, TA24 6HH TA3 7DY
7 double bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom
A commanding Edwardian country house set on about 1.5 acres, this substantial seven-bedroom detached residence offers rare versatility for family living, multi-generational occupation or continued holiday-let income. The main house (seven bedrooms, each with ensuite) is presented in good order and retains period character — high ceilings, original fireplaces, parquet flooring and a grand entrance — while delivering generous reception space for large-scale entertaining. Far-reaching views across Exmoor, the Brendon Hills and toward the Bristol Channel enhance the setting.
The grounds include two separate holiday cottages (a two-bedroom link bungalow and a one-bedroom detached bungalow) that produce immediate ancillary accommodation or income. A former stable block, workshop and groom’s room increase options for storage, hobby use or light conversion. Practical strengths include off-street parking for 10+ vehicles, a garage, a large loft with conversion potential (subject to consents) and secluded, mature gardens with terraces and lawns.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — important if you need reliable remote working. The property uses LPG-fired boiler heating (not a mains gas connection), and exterior walls are traditional granite/whinstone with assumed no insulation, so thermal upgrade work may be desirable. The setting is rural and comparatively remote, which provides privacy but also longer drives to larger service centres.
Overall this is a flexible, characterful country estate in a peaceful hamlet setting, suited to a large family, an buyer seeking holiday-let income, or someone wanting a spacious rural property with scope to adapt or modernise services and energy efficiency over time.
