Description
A striking gentleman's residence offering flexible 7 bedroom living accommodation together with a two bedroom bungalow & a one bed detached bungalow with a former stable block enjoying breathtaking views of West Somerset.
The sale of this striking Edwardian period property comes to the market following the
vendors’ decision to downsize. Built in 1906 as a Gentleman’s residence, the property is presented in excellent order throughout and offers flexible accommodation. Currently run as a five-bedroom holiday let with two futher letting units, it could equally be enjoyed as a substantial private home or for multi-generational living. Occupying a commanding position on the edge of the picturesque village of Old Cleeve, this handsome residence offers a rare combination of rchitectural grandeur, generous proportions and exceptional versatility, with far-reaching views towards Exmoor, the Brendon Hills, the Bristol Channel and, South Wales.
Set within approximately 1.5 acres of mature, well-established gardens, the detached
property provides seven spacious bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities. The five elegant reception rooms are ideal for both refined living and large-scale entertaining. Character features typical of the Edwardian era include parquet flooring, original fireplaces and an impressive entrance hall with the original staircase, all of which highlight the quality and craftsmanship of the period.
Approached via a long, sweeping driveway, the property offers ample parking, a garage and
an attached stable block with workshop and groom’s room. In addition to the main residence,
there are two further dwellings within the grounds:
A link-detached two-bedroom bungalow, with kitchen, sitting room and patio.
A detached one-bedroom bungalow, with conservatory and utility room.
Both enjoy their own garden space and provide additional flexibility, whether for extended
family, holiday letting or guest accommodation.

between the Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park in the heart of West Somerset’s countryside. Old Cleeve itself is a charming village known for its period thatched cottages, church and strong sense of community. The area offers an abundance of outdoor pursuits, from walking and cycling to birdwatching and beachcombing along nearby Blue Anchor beach.The seaside town of Minehead, the harbour town of Watchet and the amenities of Williton are all within easy reach. There is an excellent view of the The West Somerset Steam Railway and a number of stations nearby.

westerly outlook. The mature, landscaped gardens offer a sense of privacy and tranquillity
from the moment you arrive. Wide lawns, established trees and secluded seating areas
provide plenty of space to relax or entertain. A sun terrace on the southern elevation is ideal
for outdoor dining, while several patios allow guests or family members to enjoy their own
private corners. The grounds also include a large garden shed and well-tended borders. It
neighbours onto an orchard and alpacas adding to the charm of the setting. In all, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.5 acres.
