Magdalene Street, Glastonbury, Somerset, BA6

An impressive and finely-proportioned Grade II Listed period townhouse, prominently situated within the heart of Glastonbury with a superb outlook over the Abbey and grounds. With light and airy accommodation over three floors, the property includes three double bedrooms, a home office/fourth bedroom, a fabulous sitting room, a sunny garden and allocated parking.


Priory House is located within the heart of this historic and mystical town, opposite Glastonbury Abbey and its grounds and close to the Tor and Chalice Well. The property, as well as the neighbouring house, were formerly part of Abbey School, once the Pre-Prep for Millfield, which was a successor to St. Louis Convent School. Now a well-balanced three-storey family home, Priory House is beautifully presented throughout with large sash windows (plus secondary glazing) and high ceilings. Viewings are highly recommended.

A door to the front of the property opens into a spacious and welcoming hall, which incorporates a walk-in cupboard and a second cupboard for coats and shoes. To the right of the hall is a home office, a versatile room which could be utilised as a fourth bedroom or hobby space, if desired. Beside this room is a downstairs WC with a wash hand basin, and access to the rear hallway which has a traditional staircase to the first floor (with additional storage beneath) and a door to the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen/dining room is located at the rear of the property and is dual-aspect, benefitting from plenty of natural light. Generous in size with plenty of room for a table and chairs, the kitchen is perfect for families and those who enjoy entertaining. Tastefully fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units, the kitchen includes hardwood worksurfaces plus an integrated washing machine, oven, hob, extractor fan and a dishwasher. Adjoining the kitchen is a delightful and sunny garden room, looking out over the garden. Providing a further space for seating, the garden room has a glass roof and French doors opening outside.

On the first floor is the sitting room, a fine reception room with proportions typical of the period and two magnificent sash windows to the front affording views of Glastonbury Abbey. To one wall, bespoke bookshelves and cupboards are fitted from floor to ceiling (complete with ladder) providing a superb feature of this fabulous space. Across the landing is the first of three double bedrooms, this one with built-in wardrobes and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom.

The second floor gives access to the two remaining bedrooms, both of which are generous, as well as the family bathroom.
