Lower Marsh, Dunster, Minehead, Somerset, TA24

Dating back to the 18th century and sympathetically converted in 2001, Duck House forms part of an exclusive courtyard of just four charming barn conversions, set within the historic grounds of an old manor. This unique detached single-storey home enjoys a peaceful rural setting on the edge of Dunster — one of West Somerset’s most sought-after medieval villages — surrounded by open farmland with lovely country views, yet within easy reach of the sea and the West Somerset Steam Railway.

Immaculately presented throughout, the accommodation retains original character features such as beautiful stone pillars, complemented by modern comforts including double-glazed timber-framed windows. The welcoming reception hall leads into a generous sitting/dining room featuring a cosy woodburner and quality Karndean flooring — an inviting space for relaxing or entertaining.
The bright fitted kitchen/dining room is well-appointed with matching base and wall units, an integrated oven and hob, built-in fridge freezer and dishwasher, a charming butler-style sink, and space for a washing machine.

There are two comfortable double bedrooms: the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom enjoys a rear aspect with views towards Conygar Tower. A modern bathroom with a crisp white three-piece suite completes the accommodation.

Outside
Gated communal gravel driveway gives access to two private parking spaces. Duck House enjoys a delightful enclosed courtyard garden with original cobbled pathways, a raised timber decked area perfect for outdoor dining — a rare find in such a character setting.

Services
Mains water, drainage and electric.
