Holmbush is a delightful period property, unlisted, which dates back to the 17th century. The house has been recently refurbished, and used as a holiday let, but would make a perfect family house.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with lots of entertaining space on the ground floor, in the drawing room and the conservatory, while the breakfast kitchen is a useful, welcoming place. Upstairs are the master bedroom suite and two further bedrooms, plus a family bathroom.

Outside the gardens are immaculate and include terraces, borders and an ornamental pond as well as spacious lawns with views which stretch for miles towards the Bristol Channel.
A selection of stone outbuildings are currently used to store machinery but have lots of potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
The village of Porlock sits between Minehead and Lynmouth and is surrounded by Exmoor to the south, Selworthy Hill to the east and Culborne Hill to the west. It has a number of good hotels, inns, restaurants and shops and the harbour at Porlock Weir, to the west, is extremely pretty.
The guide price is £625,000. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01392 423 111 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
