Greenaleigh Farm, which once formed part of Dunster Castle estate, was once the main dairy farm supplying milk for Minehead. The original farmhouse was probably extended in the 19th century and has now been divided to provide the main living accommodation in one area and a holiday wing in the original farmhouse, which could easily be incorporated into the main house again. The main house currently has four bedrooms, sitting room, dining room, study and kitchen/breakfast room as well as a family bathroom.
The original farm buildings provide storage and parking at the current time whilst one of the original barns has been converted into a detached holiday cottage with its own garden and seating areas.
The land around the house and cottages includes gardens and terraces and the vendors have enjoyed the tenancy of the adjoining 30 acres of National Trust ground which they hope to transfer to the purchaser of Greenaleigh Farm.

The house is situated in a remarkable position on the northern edge of Exmoor which plunges into the Bristol Channel along a dramatic coastline running west from Minehead. The farm sits on a gently sloping shelf surrounded by the magnificent towering hills that form the National park running inland. The property also has access to Greenaleigh Beach.
The house has uninterrupted views of the Bristol Channel and Wales in the distance. From the property there are a number of paths linking with the South West Coastal Footpath and the ruins of Burgundy Chapel and inland to the Exmoor National Park.
Situated around a mile from Minehead, the property is 26 miles from Taunton.
