Ross Loves: One of my favourite things about this period home is its fantastic location right at the very heart of Watchet, the town has such an incredibly friendly feel and the independent shops, galleries, eateries and pubs are fantastic, not to mention the beach, marina and East Quay development! I also love the quirkiness and flexibility of the house, arranged over five floors with a loft room and cellar to boot, this property is an incredibly unique find!

The Owner Loves: We love the house because you can wake up hearing the seagulls, take a leisurely two minute stroll to the beach, grab fresh croissant for breakfast on your way back and sit with papers in our lovely airy living room. The house can be used in so many ways and offers the chance to be a really flexible living/work space.
