This charming Grade II listed period property occupies a 0.84 acre plot in the pretty village of Nether Stowey, with good access to the Quantock Hills and Bridgwater is only seven miles away.

The house has a rich and interesting history and was reputably frequented by the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth as guests of the then owner Thomas Poole.

The property consists of the main dwelling, named The Old House, along with two self-contained cottages and a top floor apartment. Currently, these extra dwellings are used to generate extra income for the owners.

Inside, the Old House has a host of character features and varied accommodation over its three floors. Beyond the impressive entrance hall, there is a beautifully-proportioned sitting room with a wealth of period features including a high ceiling and an ornate fireplace. The dining room and kitchen/breakfast room are equally pleasant living spaces.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Currently, two of the bedrooms are used for B & B purposes.

On the second floor is a self-contained apartment with a kitchen/dining room, a sitting room, a bathroom and two bedrooms.

Further to this, connected to the rear of the house on the ground floor, is a Garden Wing with a kitchen/breakfast room, living room, bathroom and one bedroom.

Outside, the pretty courtyard has an archway that leads through to the well-nurtured gardens that have many different areas of interest and offer an abundance of flora and fauna, and year-round colour. The gardens have large areas of lawn interspersed with several mature trees, well-established flower and shrub beds and numerous sitting and entertaining spaces. There is also a productive ‘kitchen’ garden area.

At the front, the wide courtyard provides ample space for parking and leads to a double garage.
