West Street, Dunster, Minehead, Somerset, TA24

This fine Grade II listed and deceptively spacious terraced guest house dates from around 1725 with later extensions. The property offers beautifully presented gas centrally heated accommodation of great charm which has been sympathetically improved and provides 4 reception rooms, 6 well equipped en-suite letting bedrooms, fully fitted modern kitchen plus a 2 bedroom owner's wing at the rear of the property overlooking the gardens.


THE BUSINESS
Our clients have been in residence for the last 6 years and have run a successful bed and breakfast business letting 6 bedrooms and opening 9 months of the year (closing early December, January and February) through choice. There is great potential to enhance the business further by providing evening meals/lunches subject to any planning permission required and there is also a license for a shop in what is currently a guest sitting room but could be re-opened if so desired. Accounts will be made available to those seriously interested parties who have viewed the property.
