Ross loves: This property is truly spectacular and incredibly unique and as such an internal viewing really is a must for this one! The owner, with meticulous and creative planning has created an incredible extended home, not just by over doubling the living room, but also creating an incredible roof terrace at the same time along with a carport!
This property also has parking for up to four cars (two in the garage, one in the car port and one on the drive), off road parking in Watchet is a rarity, so to have this luxury is fantastic!
The owner loves: "I've always wanted a house with a large living room and also a sun terrace so this really fits the bill. It's also important to me to have ample parking space and a double garage for the vehicles and to be somewhere fairly quiet. The house is very easy to heat in the winter and gets a lot of natural light all year round. Watchet is a really friendly place and I have good neighbours here. For a small harbour town it has a huge amount of community activities and music, far more so than many places far bigger. And it has the sea! "

Watchet
Fact: Watchet really came to prominence in the Saxon period and was important enough to have its own mint established in 1035. Coins minted in Watchet have been found in Scandinavia, suggesting that they were used to buy off Viking raiders!
