Large rooms, garage and garden near town and seafront — chain free.
Detached period house with prominent Arts-and-Crafts bay windows
Quietly positioned a short walk from Minehead town centre and the seafront, this detached period house offers generous, well-proportioned rooms across two storeys and combines classic Arts-and-Crafts bay windows with practical family spaces. The ground floor layout includes two large reception rooms, dining room, utility and office, giving flexible living and work-from-home options. The property is chain free and benefits from off-road parking, an integral garage and a sizable enclosed rear garden with mature fruit trees and patio areas.
The house is characterful but not brand-new: constructed before 1900 from stone, it has double glazing and gas central heating, yet external walls are likely uninsulated and further updating or sympathetic refurbishment will improve comfort and efficiency. The home currently provides three double bedrooms but just one bathroom and a separate WC, which may be limiting for larger families without reconfiguration.
Practical advantages include very fast available broadband (Openreach ultrafast), excellent mobile coverage and a very low local flood risk. Material considerations: the property sits in an area with higher local crime statistics, council tax is above average (Band E), and garden areas need maintenance and landscaping to reach full potential. These factors are factual points for buyers to weigh against the size, location and no-chain convenience.
This house will suit families seeking space close to schools, shops and the coast, or buyers wanting a period property with scope to modernise. It offers immediate occupation but will reward targeted investment to modernise services, improve insulation and refresh garden landscaping.
