Location
West Pennard is a very popular village in beautiful countryside between Wells, Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury. The larger towns of Bath, Bristol and Yeovil are all within easy commuting distance. Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It’s been a religious centre throughout history and further back into the times of legends. Today it’s a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year.
Just 5 miles from Glastonbury is Wells which is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). Its centre is the market place (local markets twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace.
Immediately to the south (2 miles) of Glastonbury is the more recent town of Street and these centres provide a wide range of facilities and amenities to suit most needs.
There are excellent local schools including West Pennard’s Primary School and the independent sector includes Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows and the Bruton schools.

A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help.
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
