Woodlands House is a handsome 1930s detached family home set on an impressive c.1.58 acre plot in the much‑favoured Woodcombe area of Minehead. The property sits elevated with long views over Minehead, the Bristol Channel and surrounding hills, and offers a mix of original period features—leaded windows, parquet and exposed floorboards—and practical modern fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms.
The house provides comfortable family accommodation across two floors: three reception rooms (including a light garden room), four bedrooms, an ensuite and two further bathrooms. Outside there are mature, terraced gardens, a paddock of c.0.89 acres with woodland boundary, a circular driveway with extensive parking and a single detached garage. The plot’s scale and elevated position provide good privacy and scope for careful extension or refurbishment subject to planning.
Buyers should note a medium flooding risk for the area and that the property dates from c.1930, so a full survey is recommended to assess services, insulation and any period maintenance needs. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the wider area shows pockets of deprivation; nevertheless the setting offers direct access to local walks and Exmoor National Park, good mobile and broadband connectivity, and nearby local amenities and schools.
This home will suit families seeking character, outdoor space and countryside views who are prepared to invest in updating or tailoring the house to modern standards. The generous plot and paddock also appeal to buyers wanting outdoor hobby space, small‑scale grazing or the potential to enhance the gardens.
