4 bedroom character property for sale

Tenure: Freehold

DESCRIPTION: Sea View terrace, built at the end of the Georgian period is a Grade II listed property located in a conservation area where properties rarely come to the market. This fine period home is thought to date from around 1840 and offers a mix of Georgian and Victorian features with well-proportioned rooms, good ceiling heights, balustrade and floor to ceiling sash windows. The property is set over four floors with the kitchen/breakfast room, utility, cloakroom and study/dining room set on the first floor. To the second floor there is a large entrance hallway leading to two spacious reception rooms both with floor to ceiling windows and sash bays both offering coastal views. To the third floor there is a large landing with a seating area, master bedroom with the most wonderful views overlooking the historical harbour, marina, West Somerset steam railway and the coast line; there is a further bedroom and a family bathroom. To the fourth floor there are two bedrooms and a further reception room. The garden is mostly to the front which offers a good degree of privacy with its mature shrub borders and is laid to lawn with a large decked area. To the rear of the property there is a private courtyard garden which enjoys plenty of sunshine and a further garden which is accessed from the courtyard along a pathway; this is currently used by the owners for growing a variety of vegetables and fruits. The garden has been fenced to three sides and offers plenty of storage facilities and parking for many vehicles. To fully appreciate the position of this exceptional and individual family home viewings come highly recommended.

LOCATION: Situated in the ancient harbour town of Watchet, boasting a colourful maritime history dating back over two thousand years. Nestled between Exmoor National Park and the Quantock Hills it is hard to believe that the M5 is only half an hour away, with Bristol and its international airport easily commutable. 21st Century Watchet still hold all the charm from long ago while offering the amenities essential to modern living including; junior school, bank, a post office, hairdressers, convenience stores and a host of antique, gift and art shops as well as pubs, hotels, a museum and a doctor’s surgery, the town certainly has a great deal to offer anyone wishing to make their home here. The coastline and the recently constructed marina, opened in 2001, are notable attractions of the area. For steam enthusiasts, The West Somerset Railway runs regularly throughout the year connecting Bishops Lydeard and Minehead with Watchet and all local stations on route.
