Description

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a handsome detached 1931 cottage occupying approximately a quarter of an acre, enjoying far-reaching countryside views and offering exceptional scope to renovate, extend and create a truly outstanding home.

Ross Loves: "I absolutely love properties like Baymead because you simply can't recreate what already exists here. The handsome 1930s façade, the generous plot, the countryside views and the incredible setting provide the perfect foundations for something really special. If I were in the market for a renovation project myself, this is exactly the sort of property I'd have been trying to buy."

Properties like Baymead are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Combining timeless architectural appeal with enormous potential, this charming detached cottage enjoys a generous plot, beautiful rural surroundings and the sort of balanced, symmetrical façade that gives it instant curb appeal. Whilst perfectly liveable today, it offers buyers the exciting opportunity to modernise and create a home tailored entirely to their own tastes.

The accommodation begins with an entrance porch opening into a welcoming entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor. The principal reception room is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the home, featuring an attractive bay window framing the countryside beyond, decorative panelled walls and French doors opening onto the courtyard, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The kitchen/breakfast room centres around a traditional AGA and provides ample room for everyday dining, whilst the ground floor is completed by a bathroom and separate WC.

To the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant views across the surrounding countryside.

Outside, the property's exciting potential continues. The grounds extend to approximately a quarter of an acre, offering generous private gardens and ample space to further enhance the property, subject to any necessary planning consents.

A detached garage provides useful parking and storage, whilst two separate outbuildings present exciting opportunities for a variety of uses. A dilapidated former cabin offers excellent potential to create guest accommodation or an annexe (subject to the necessary consents), whilst the second detached building, known as Treetops, would make an ideal home office, studio, workshop or hobby room.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the property adjoins a bridleway leading directly into Holford Woods before continuing onto the stunning Quantock Hills, providing miles of walking, cycling and riding routes from the doorstep. In the opposite direction, Kilve Beach is also within easy reach, making this an exceptional location from which to enjoy both the countryside and the coast.

Baymead occupies a convenient position adjoining the A39, providing excellent accessibility to Minehead, Bridgwater and the wider West Somerset area. Whilst the road is naturally audible, the property is rewarded with outstanding views, excellent connectivity and a location that places some of Somerset's finest countryside on its doorstep.

Opportunities to purchase detached character homes with views, outbuildings and such exciting renovation potential at this price point are exceptionally rare. Whether you're searching for your forever home, an inspiring renovation project or a lifestyle property with scope to add value, Baymead deserves your attention.
