Applegreen Court is a unique architect designed coastal residence built in the mid 1980’s and offers over 4000 sq. ft. of accommodation which has been designed with the extensive and innovative use of glass and oak. The property is positioned to take full advantage of the wonderful setting and panoramic views over Porlock Bay towards Porlock Weir, Hurlstone Point and the surrounding Exmoor Hills.
ACCOMMODATION WALK-THROUGH
The understated pillared entrance with remote controlled gates hides a hidden gem. After passing the gatehouse a long drive sweeps through parkland style gardens and as you approach the property the coastal views are simply breathtaking.
Once inside you are immediately struck by the feeling of space, light and coastal views through tall glazed panels. Double opening glazed doors lead through to the sitting room with woodburner, picture windows with sea views together with fine views of Bossington Hill from a corner window seat. The kitchen which was refitted in 2021 offers an excellent range of base and wall units with matching island unit, heavy slate working surfaces and integrated appliances to include range cooker, tall fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Sliding glazed doors give access to a separate dining room with picture windows and coastal views and a door from the kitchen leads outside to a paved terrace with fire pit and bench seating. A long hallway well lit by tall glazed panels gives access to a conservatory overlooking the garden, two double bedrooms with shared bathroom and the master suite with woodburner, wonderful inland and coastal views, double glazed door to outside and door to an en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath, open wet shower area, low level WC, his and hers sinks and dressing rooms.
The gatehouse which cannot be seen from the main house offers centrally heated and double glazed accommodation arranged over one floor in brief comprising; reception hall, sitting room, fitted kitchen opening to a dining room, three bedrooms, one en-suite and a bathroom. The gatehouse also has the benefit of having its own private garden, parking and would also be suitable as a holiday or permanent let.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Applegreen Court is beautifully set in 6.88 acres of predominantly landscaped gardens which are an undoubted feature of the property and has its own borehole for watering. The entrance drive meanders through sweeping lawns with inset specimen trees and shrubs with a former ornamental lake and with many areas to sit and revel in the tranquillity. The private tarmac drive leads to the main house where there is a parking area and turnaround. A track leads off the drive and around the bottom of the gardens to a large detached oak barn/garaging, various timber garden sheds, poly tunnel and access to your own private woodland.
