Middle Staunton Cottages, Staunton Lane, Minehead, Somerset, TA24

Nestled at the foot of Alcombe Combe, in the historic and much sought-after area locally known as Old Alcombe on the edge of Minehead, this delightful Grade II Listed thatched cottage offers an exceptional blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Beautifully presented and maintained to an excellent standard, the cottage is currently operated as a successful high-quality holiday cottage and is offered in first class condition throughout.

The property enjoys a peaceful and picturesque setting, while still being within easy reach of local amenities and wonderful countryside walks. Internally, the cottage retains a wealth of original character features including exposed beams, deep window reveals and a striking inglenook fireplace with inset gas stove and traditional bread oven, creating a warm and inviting focal point within the main living space.

The welcoming sitting/dining room provides a cosy yet versatile living area, perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of fitted units complemented by granite work surfaces and integrated appliances, while a stable door opens directly onto the patio, enhancing the connection between the house and its outdoor space.

The ground floor also benefits from a modern fitted shower room with contemporary fittings and built-in storage. To the first floor are two charming bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks and continuing the cottage’s characterful feel with exposed timbers and traditional detailing.

Outside, the south-facing garden provides a delightful setting to relax and enjoy views towards the surrounding countryside. A paved patio area directly outside the kitchen offers an ideal space for alfresco dining, with the remainder of the garden laid mainly to lawn with flower and shrub borders. A raised patio area with summer house provides an additional sheltered seating area, perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Opposite the property there is a parking bay currently used by the owners, although this space is not formally owned by the cottage.
