A notable highlight is the spacious workshop/showroom area, which holds significant potential for various uses such as a creative studio or additional living space, subject to necessary permissions. On the upper floors, you'll find five generously sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom and an expansive loft room that could serve many purposes, including storage or play areas. The enclosed gardens present a blank canvas for outdoor improvements, offering ample space for landscaping or gardening projects. Located conveniently near local amenities and just a short distance from Minehead town centre and Exmoor National Park, this property stands as a remarkable investment opportunity for those passionate about historic homes.
