High House

Near Minehead

Exmoor, Somerset, South West England

Set in the heart of medieval Dunster beneath its 11th-century castle, this exquisite home offers a perfect blend of culture and countryside. The village is rich in charm, with boutique shops, historic pubs, acclaimed restaurants and traditional tea rooms, as well as popular events like summer castle fairs and Dunster by Candlelight. Walk straight from the garden into Dunster Deer Park and along The Coleridge Way, with the South West Coast Path, Minehead’s sandy beach, and the stunning Holnicote Estate all nearby. Seaside villages including Porlock, Lynton and Lynmouth are a short drive away, while Dunster Beach is within walking distance.

Inside, period elegance meets comfort. The ground floor features a cosy lounge with open fire, a formal dining room for ten, a well-equipped pantry and French-style kitchen with Aga and large dining table, plus a snug, library, utility room and shower room. Five beautifully styled bedrooms are spread across two upper floors, including two four-poster super-king rooms with en-suites, a characterful king room with arched ceiling, a flexible twin room, and a spectacular top-floor suite with vaulted ceiling and historic beams. Additional bathrooms serve the remaining rooms.

The enchanting gardens include a walled lawn, pergola-covered dining terrace with BBQ and sound system, luxury hot tub, and direct access to the Deer Park. A Mediterranean-style garden offers relaxed seating and views to Conygar Tower. There are also games rooms with pool, table tennis and darts, a Moroccan-style yoga studio, bike storage, and private parking for four cars.
