We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A rare opportunity to acquire part of a magnificent former manor house, occupying an elevated position with outstanding coastal views.
Offering five bedrooms, delightful gardens, and ample parking, the property enjoys an enviable edge-of-village setting. With charm, space, and excellent income potential. EPC: F.
Situation This impressive property is situated on the north coast of Somerset within the Exmoor National Park with views across the Bristol Channel to Wales in the distance.
With access from the garden to the oak woodlands behind that are crossed by the Coleridge Way footpath to the open expanses of Exmoor.
Conifer House is very well positioned to be enjoyed as a family or holiday home.
Within walking distance from the property, the picturesque small harbour at Porlock Weir is just to the west and is an historic trading port, neatly positioned in a sheltered area of Porlock Bay.
Porlock village to the east has good local facilities, a lovely primary school and is a delightful thriving community.
The well known Victorian coastal resort of Minehead is also within easy reach, offering a wider range of attractions and facilities such as banks, doctors and dentists.
Description Originally constructed in 1922 as the manor house for the distinguished Blathwayt family, this impressive residence was later thoughtfully divided into three individual dwellings.
Occupying the central portion, Conifer House enjoys an enviable position overlooking beautifully maintained gardens with views stretching towards the sea.
Built in traditional style, the property boasts high ceilings and generously proportioned windows, creating a wonderfully bright, spacious, and airy interior throughout.
This charming home seamlessly combines timeless elegance with modern practicality, all while being ideally situated within easy reach of both the coastline and surrounding moorland.
Accommodation The well-appointed accommodation at Conifer House is arranged over three floors, offering both flexibility and generous living space throughout.
On the ground floor, the property features a welcoming sitting room together with an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, complete with stone flooring, fitted units, and a glazed door opening onto the patio area.
A conveniently located cloakroom also serves this level. The first floor provides three bedrooms, comprising a spacious double bedroom, a further small double, and a twin room.
This floor is also served by a family bathroom, a separate shower room, and an additional WC.
Occupying the second floor are two further bedrooms, including a single room and an impressive dual-aspect double bedroom enjoying stunning coastal views, together with a further bathroom.
Leading from the ground floor hallway, a staircase descends to a substantial cellar with excellent head height, providing valuable storage space and further potential, subject to any necessary consents.
Outside The front door steps lead down to a large paved patio and then down to a level lawn from which to enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings.
The driveway at the front provides private parking for several cars. To the rear of the property there is a small patio and an outside utility room/store.
