Fore Street, Othery, Bridgwater

This is a wonderful old house which, until recently, incorporated the village Post Office. The property offers spacious and flexible accommodation, including two garages/stores and a workshop, much of which would benefit from modernisation and improvement. EPC E

A Somerset long house, still with its cross passage, and the remnants of its original thatched roof, and as such, will more than likely date back several centuries. There have been later additions, which are thought to date back to the Victorian era, including extensions on the front and side. The former has most recently been utilised as the village’s Post Office and stores and offers potential for a variety of future uses (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).

In addition, on the rear of the house is what is believed to have once been a separate cottage, which now forms part of the main accommodation. Attached to this are three outbuildings, two with road frontage, which have been used for garaging and workshops – again, these buildings offer considerable scope for a wide range of future uses (STCs).

There are a wide range of character features on display, including inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, flagstone floors, and we are advised that below the kitchen floor is a well. There is also an attractive, enclosed rear garden.

The property does require modernisation and improvement but offers potential for a fine, character-filled family home.
