Main Road, West Huntspill, Highbridge, TA9

Formerly The Pimpernel public house, this exceptional property has been transformed into a beautifully presented and impressively spacious family home, offering over 2,500 sq ft of characterful accommodation. Every room reflects thoughtful conversion, blending period charm with well-planned modern living.

You enter through an oak-framed porch into the striking 35ft living/dining room, once the pub’s main bar. The space immediately captures the home’s unique feel, with its flagstone floor, exposed beams, timber panelling and a feature fireplace with built-in display cabinetry. Part-stained folding doors open into a cosy second reception room, warmed by a double-sided wood-burning stove that also serves the kitchen.

The kitchen/breakfast room is another standout space, fitted with Shaker-style units, solid wood worktops, a Belfast sink and natural slate flooring. An oil-fired Marshall Alpha range cooker provides a focal point, with room for an additional range and an eight-seat dining table. Double doors open to the garden, making it ideal for entertaining. The ground floor also includes a study, utility room, cloakroom and lobby, all finished with slate flooring and offering direct garden access. Upstairs, a generous landing leads to four double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite. The main bedroom includes a dressing room and a luxurious bathroom featuring a freestanding slipper bath and twin basins set on an antique sideboard. The remaining bedrooms each enjoy their own private shower or bathroom facilities.

Outside, the gardens wrap around three sides and are beautifully arranged with seating areas, lawns, well-stocked borders and an ornamental pond. To the rear are three private parking spaces. The property benefits from double glazing (excluding porch) and mains gas central heating.
