CHANIN & THOMAS
Chartered Surveyors, Auctioneers and Estate Agents
Established in 1919 the firm of Chanin and Thomas has offices throughout West Somerset and is managed and run by friendly staff with many years of local knowledge and experience.
West Somerset is steeped in history, poetry and romance. From Nether Stowey in the Quantock Hills (the first Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England), where both Coleridge and Wordsworth spent part of their lives, to the Exmoor National Park, the legendary home of the Doone family made famous in R D Blackmores “Lorna Doone”, where Red Deer still roam free.
Its spectacular coastline was the inspiration for “The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner” and the delightful unspoilt countryside and picturesque villages, such as medieval Dunster with its historic castle, where the hymn “All Things Bright and Beautiful” was conceived, together provide an area of unsurpassed scenery and rich cultural heritage.
A recently established yachting marina at Watchet, the West Somerset Steam Railway, village cricket, walking, riding, fishing, etc., all combine to offer numerous recreational activities. Shopping, commercial facilities and schools are well provided for in Minehead, Williton or the County Town of Taunton.
West Somerset – a very special area of great variety and beauty, is indeed a truly idyllic place to live.
