Burgundy Road, Minehead, Somerset, TA24

Peacock Vane enjoys a private and commanding position on the favoured slopes of North Hill with wonderful views towards the sea particularly from the first floor and the gardens. The property dates back to the early 1900’s and was converted many years ago from former grooms quarters and has pleasing stone elevations with brick quoins under a slate roof.

The well proportioned accommodation is of great character with a wonderful charm and atmosphere and the property is ideally located for superb walks in The Exmoor National Park. The vendors have explored the feasibility of building within the grounds by way of a pre planning application for a two bedroom dwelling at the top of the garden which maybe an attraction to some and is included in the sale.
