Marsh Haven, Marsh Street, Dunster, Minehead

Reference Number: RS0802

Tucked quietly on the edge of Dunster, Marsh Haven is one of those homes that instantly feels welcoming. Designed by an architect and built by Ware Construction in 2020, it combines modern comfort and energy efficiency with thoughtful design, creating a home that’s as practical as it is beautiful.

Step inside and the warmth of the home draws you in. The open-plan living and dining area has a calm, natural feel with exposed ceiling beams and engineered oak flooring throughout. Four Velux windows in the living area (all with fitted blinds) fill the space with natural light. On cooler evenings, light the wood-burning stove and settle in with a book, or open the bi-fold doors to the garden when the sun is shining — the perfect spot for long lunches and evening drinks as the sun sets over the hills.

The kitchen is cleverly designed with integrated appliances including a hob and oven, fridge-freezer, half-sized dishwasher, and space for a washing machine. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, keeping the entire area cosy. The hallway includes a built-in storage cupboard, a downstairs toilet, and a handy shoe store under the stairs, with extra under-stair storage. Bespoke wrought-iron railings guide you upstairs.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are generous doubles with soft carpeting. The front bedroom features a Somerset dormer, while the rear bedroom has large Velux windows (with fitted blinds) overlooking farmland and Minehead Bluff. A built-in window seat in the rear bedroom is the perfect spot to enjoy the view. The bathroom includes a stand-alone shower and bath, with a separate electric radiator.

Outside, the garden is private and full of character, enclosed by a refurbished Devon bank and secure hedging including dog rose, hawthorn, and beech. South and west-facing, it enjoys sunshine most of the day and golden light in the evening. The garden features a paved patio, small lawn, raised flower beds, a garden shed, and bespoke storage to the side of the property.

There is off-street parking for two cars at the front, and the home is exceptionally energy-efficient (EPC B) with a combination boiler in the kitchen and a gas central heating system covering three separate thermal zones, keeping running costs low.

Whether you’re looking for a permanent home, a peaceful retreat, or a low-maintenance base from which to enjoy Dunster, the coast, and Exmoor, Marsh Haven offers modern living with style, comfort, and warmth.
