Shore Edge Cottage, St Audries Estate

Tucked away on a private lane, with sweeping sea views and surrounded by unspoilt countryside, Shore Edge Cottage is a coastal home like no other. Steeped in history and full of charm, this beautifully restored period property dates back to around 1700 and once formed part of the historic St Audries estate. Today, it blends its heritage roots with thoughtful, high-quality bespoke updates to create a warm, elegant home that feels both timeless and welcoming. Offered to the market with no onward chain.

Ross loves - "This home has a real sense of peace to it. You feel it the second you arrive. It’s the combination of those sea views, the thoughtful restoration, and the way the gardens have been so carefully designed – everything works in harmony. The extension is one of my favourite spaces – it’s the kind of room you could sit in for hours, watching the light shift over the water. It’s just as perfect for quiet moments as it is for entertaining friends and family."

Inside, original features steal the show – exposed beams, two handsome inglenook fireplaces (one with its original bread oven), and beautifully proportioned rooms that are filled with natural light. Set over three floors, the layout is flexible and spacious, with potential to create a self-contained annexe – ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or simply more breathing room.

The heart of the home is the more recent French oak and glass extension, complete with a vaulted ceiling and panoramic windows that frame the ever-changing view across the Bristol Channel. It's a space made for quiet mornings, dramatic sunsets, and everything in between.

But the real magic continues outside.

The current owners have lovingly created a series of garden ‘rooms’ – each with its own character and purpose, all enjoying stunning views across the water. There’s a natural garden designed to blend into the surrounding countryside, a classic cottage garden bursting with colour and seasonal planting, and a productive kitchen garden and orchard complete with raised beds, a Rhino greenhouse, fruit cage, and mature trees. Every part of the 0.58 acre plot has been considered and cared for – from the timber pergola draped in climbing roses, to the tranquil fishpond and the original stone well, which still holds water.

With a double garage, electric gated driveway, former piggery turned workshop, and ample storage throughout, this home is not only beautiful – it's incredibly practical too.

West Quantoxhead offers a peaceful, rural setting at the foot of the Quantock Hills, with footpaths, bridleways, and the coast right on your doorstep. Whether you're looking for your forever dream home, a multi-generational setup, or your very own slice of paradise, Shore Edge Cottage is a rare opportunity to make that vision a reality – in one of Somerset’s most spectacular coastal locations.
