Smithyard Lane, Williton

OPEN HOUSE THIS FRIDAY (7TH FEB) BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! Bowhayes is a rare opportunity to acquire a 1930s detached home set within a substantial 0.5-acre plot surrounded by open countryside. Nestled between Williton and Watchet, the property enjoys stunning views towards the Quantock Hills and offers huge potential for refurbishment, extension, or further development (STPP). With its generous mature gardens, outbuildings, and detached double garage, this is an exceptional chance to create a dream countryside home in a highly sought-after location.

Ross loves: "I love the incredible potential Bowhayes offers to create a truly special family home. With its charming 1930s character, spacious layout, and scope for refurbishment or extension, it’s a fantastic blank canvas. The expansive 0.5-acre gardens are a delight, set against a backdrop of rolling countryside and stunning Quantock Hills views, this is such a rare opportunity to craft a beautiful home while still being close to coastal charm and village amenities."

The house, in need of modernisation throughout, provides a flexible layout ready for transformation. The ground floor comprises a spacious entrance hall, leading to a dining room, sitting room, garden room and a kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility/boot room area. Large windows throughout bring in plenty of natural light and frame the beautiful outlook over the gardens. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms (two doubles and a single) and a family bathroom, all offering scope to be reconfigured or updated to suit modern living.

Outside, the 0.5-acre plot is wrapped in mature hedgerows, creating a private and peaceful setting. A large sweeping driveway leads to the detached double garage, providing ample parking and storage. There is also a range of outbuildings, offering further potential for workshops, home offices, or additional accommodation (subject to planning). The expansive gardens present an opportunity to landscape, extend, or redevelop, making this a truly versatile property.

Perfectly positioned between the bustling village of Williton and the coastal charm of Watchet, Bowhayes offers the best of both worlds. Williton provides a range of amenities, shops, schools, and transport links, while Watchet offers a vibrant marina, independent cafes, and coastal walks. The surrounding countryside and nearby Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offer superb walking, riding, and outdoor pursuits, making this an ideal location for those seeking rural tranquillity with excellent accessibility.
