Summary - BILBROOK COTTAGE BILBROOK MINEHEAD TA24 6HE
Five bedrooms, two en suite, generous galleried living spaces
Set well back from a quiet lane, this substantial five-bedroom detached house sits in about 3.33 acres of gardens, orchard and paddock — ideal for a family seeking space, privacy and hobbies such as small-scale equestrian or extensive gardening. Large rooms, vaulted/galleried landings and a bright garden room create generous living areas while two en suite bedrooms help family flexibility.
The property benefits from significant eco-investment: solar panels, an air-source heat pump, rainwater harvesting, grey-water recycling and an EV charger reduce running costs and support low-carbon living. Practical outbuildings include a studio/workshop, two stables, a turnout paddock, polytunnel, greenhouse and a double garage with inspection pit and solar array — useful for hobbyists or those needing home business space.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the main heating fuel remains oil with radiators, the stone walls were built pre-1900 and are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, and the property sits in a medium flood risk area. Broadband and mobile signals are average and the wider area scores as relatively deprived; local secondary schooling has a 'requires improvement' Ofsted rating. These are important considerations for family logistics and future running costs.
Overall this is a well-equipped rural family home with strong outdoor and eco credentials, substantial parking and versatile outbuildings. It will suit buyers wanting space and self-sufficiency, and those prepared to manage older-property maintenance and flood-risk mitigation measures.
