Mount Royal, Weirfield Road, Minehead, Somerset, TA24

This superb second floor apartment offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and exceptionally spacious home in one of Minehead’s most desirable residential settings. Occupying part of an imposing Edwardian building originally designed as two grand semi-detached houses and later converted into just eight apartments the property combines elegant period character with stylish modern living.

The apartment retains much of the original character features including deep skirtings, large picture windows and high ceilings with moulded covings. The generous, light and airy accommodation remodelled to make the most of the views to the front of the spacious apartment has been completely renovated by the current owner and amounts to over 1,200 sq. ft, with no onward chain.

The apartment is accessed via a private entrance at first floor level, opening into a welcoming reception hall with built-in storage and a double-fronted boiler cupboard. The sitting room is a wonderfully bright and elegant space, with a feature fireplace and electric woodburner effect fire inset, high ceilings and large picture windows, together with direct access onto the balcony – the perfect spot to enjoy the coastal and hillside views. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of modern base and wall units with oak work surfaces, ceramic sink, integrated fridge and space for a dishwasher. A charming square bay, with access onto the balcony, frames far-reaching views and provides an ideal setting for dining or entertaining.

The principal bedroom is a delightful retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious free-standing bath. The second bedroom is a generous double, while the third bedroom offers flexibility as a study or guest room. The stylish shower room, in keeping with the character of the property, is positioned to the rear, and a useful utility space with plumbing for laundry appliances.

A rear door leads out to a private gated courtyard with timber shed and direct access to the garden. There is an additional garden storage area to the rear set into the bank.

The apartment enjoys its own private, tiered garden area with patio terrace and flower and shrub borders. The gardens have inland and coastal views, and include access to the rear and a pedestrian gate leading directly onto Burgundy Road, with easy access to superb walks on North Hill and the South West Coast Path.

The property further benefits from a concrete sectional garage (15’10” x 7’10”) and a designated parking space.
