A FIVE-bedroom house in Blue Anchor with beautiful views across the Bristol Channel is on the market for £700,000.
Newlands is an incredibly characterful property located in the coastal village, just east of Minehead, and is situated only a stone’s throw from the beach.
The property is believed to have been built in 1926 with its age providing much character throughout. The house seamlessly balances both historic charm and modern convenience.
When entering the home, an inviting porch leads into a spacious hallway which aims to make residents feel comfortable immediately.
The hallway is incredibly well connected, with quick and easy access to the living room, kitchen, study and the stairs leading to the first floor, providing a convenient level of interconnectedness throughout the house.
Turning right out of the hallway will lead to the living room, which is incredibly generous with its space and possesses incredible home comforts which will be enjoyed by the new owner.
The living room boasts a bay window framing the coastal panorama, providing beautiful and alluring views of the sea. There is also an exposed brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, flagstone flooring, and beamed ceiling that all add to the character of this property.
The balance of the rustic charm provided by these features and the modern comfort available makes this room incredibly cozy, and an ideal place to gather and relax after a long day.
Double doors lead to a smaller reception room which bathed in natural light, thanks to a bay window to the side and French doors opening to the garden.
This makes it a fantastic additional space for accommodating friends or family members, providing a brilliantly comfortable space to relax and talk the hours away.
Opposite the living room is the kitchen, which also doubles up as a dining room given its large, open plan design.
The kitchen acts as the heart of the home, providing a wonderful social space for families and friends to gather and chat while enjoying a meal.
This kitchen is a wonderful social space with a box bay window and French doors leading to a small terrace overlooking the coastline, providing the perfect place to be during early summer mornings to enjoy a cup of coffee.
Modern conveniences blend effortlessly with period charm, with Belfast-style double sinks, a range cooker with an extractor hood, an Aga, and an integrated fridge and freezer sit among the wood panelling, flagstone flooring, and a beamed ceiling, making this a truly inviting space.
Further down the hallway is a utility room, providing a convenient base from which to carry out the necessary chores required to keep this property in the best shape possible and ensure there is a lack of clutter spread around the house.
The utility room boasts a sink and plumbing for a washing machine, as well as a modern shower room.
Opposite the utility room is the study which can be used for a variety of functions; whether that be working from home, pursuing a personal hobby, or even just enjoying a little peace and quiet away from the rest of the house.
It is a flexible space that can be enjoyed by anybody.
A conservatory is a fantastic room to have in a house, particularly for those who want to have an easy place to get comfortable under the summer sun.
The stairs heading upstairs arrive at the landing, which itself leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms - perfect for those with larger families or who often have friends or family members staying over a weekend.
Some of the rooms have their own unique features, such as the principal bedroom boasting its own en-suite bathroom. Another bedroom on this floor also has a pair of built in wardrobes, providing extra storage space to the occupant.
Each bedroom has a window which faces at least one of this house’s four aspects, and given the beauty of the surrounding area, there is no bad choice for those who want to wake up every morning to stunning views.
There is also a separate shower room with an additional W/C to serve the other bedrooms that do not have the benefit of an en-suite.
The stairs also lead to a second floor, where two versatile loft rooms provide flexible accommodation. This is ideal for a number of different functions, such as a home office, a hobby space, or as additional guest rooms accompanied by a second-floor bathroom.
The rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing, features a picturesque archway leading to a separate area with a large wooden workshop, ideal for storage or future creative projects.
There is a charming decked seating area to the side of the house, which offers a perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation, particularly as the sun comes up and meets the natural beauty of the area and the glistening views of the ocean nearby.
The front driveway provides ample off-road parking, suitable for multiple cars parking at the same time. The driveway leads to a detached garage, great for providing space for any tools or other miscellaneous items.
The location of this home is perfect, with Blue Anchor being a picturesque village that is ideal for those who love scenic walks along the beach, while also maintaining easy access to larger towns like Minehead and the amenities they provide.
