Description
The motivated vendor is offering a substantial period property at the heart of the historic coastal village of Porlock, which includes off-road carport parking and extensive walled gardens with potential to be used as a tea garden, subject to the necessary consents. Dovercourt House is a charming and characterful home of approximately 3600 square feet, featuring a glazed entrance porch, an inviting hall with a staircase leading to the first floor, and doors to the kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, and rear hallway. The kitchen is equipped with traditional cabinetry and a central chimney with a stove. The dining room boasts a fireplace with a wood burning stove and views of the village. The rear hall provides access to a study/home office, a downstairs WC, and a spacious reception room with a fireplace and garden access. Additionally, there is a utility/laundry room, a games room/potential secondary kitchen with a conservatory, and two further reception rooms. The first floor features a split-level landing, three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and one with a balcony, a WC, two en-suite bedrooms including the principal suite with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, and a large loft space for storage. The property, while a family home, has aspects that would benefit from improvement. Porlock is a charming village with a range of amenities, two miles from Porlock Weir and six miles from Minehead, with the Exmoor National Park and other beauty spots nearby. The gardens are a significant feature, offering mature trees, shrubs, a kitchen/fruit garden, and a courtyard, with the potential to operate a tea garden (subject to consent). There is also a carport for off-road parking.
