About the area

Pilton is an historic village with a splendid 11th century church, a 14th century tithe barn and many period houses and cottages.

According to legends this is where Joseph of Arimathea entered Britain and is now internationally famous for its festival (with tickets provided to the residents). It's certainly, and justifiably, one of the most popular villages in the area with a very active and friendly community and a wide range of activities and amenities. These include the church, pub, village hall, nursery and preschool, community orchard and recreation ground.

The property is not to far from the local towns of Wells, Glastonbury, Bruton and Shepton Mallet. The major towns of the area being Bristol, Bath, Taunton and Yeovil are all within commuting distance and there are excellent road networks to London and the South.

Castle Cary is the nearest train station with fast links to London.

Wells, the smallest city in England, nestles close to the Mendip Hills – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty-has excellent local markets twice a week and many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace.

Nearby, Glastonbury grew up alongside the Abbey and is a thriving major tourist area.

Stoney Drive is well situated on the edge of the village with access from a quiet country lane. It's worth noting there is easy access close by to many miles of footpaths crossing the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Accommodation

Stoney Drive was built in 2010 and has been owned by the same family ever since. The property was built using structural insulated panels (SIPs), has solar panels providing electricity and receives its hot water from an air source heat pump making this an extremely cost effective house to run. Good quality oak timber-work has been used in the flooring, doors and staircase.
