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
Imposing detached 5 bedroom period property situated in a slightly elevated position just outside the centre of Porlock with panoramic sea and countryside views from almost every room!

The first floor offers 2 double bedrooms with ensuite shower rooms, and 3 further double bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom.

The property is situated in a slightly elevated position with breath-taking views of the sea, Hurlstone Point, and Bossington Hill.
It is a short walk from the centre of Porlock which has twice been named best village in Somerset with the judges saying 'the range of facilities for young and old would be impressive in a settlement many times bigger - but in a village with 1,188 people on the electoral role it was "remarkable".
There is good range of local shops, restaurants, galleries and a large range of pubs which are patronised year round by locals and visitors alike.
The village is a highly attractive and thriving coastal centre set on the edge of Exmoor and adjacent to large areas managed by the National Trust.
The area is ideal for walkers and those who enjoy country pursuits with many walks directly accessible from the village. Nearby is the quaint and much photographed Porlock Weir Harbour.
The coastal resort of Minehead 6 miles to the East provides a wide range of facilities and the county town of Taunton provides access to the motorway and fast trains to London (from 1 hour 40 minutes).
