Long Street, Williton, Taunton, Somerset

Steeped in history and brimming with character, this enchanting Grade II listed thatched cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of Somerset’s past. Proudly displaying a date stone of 1624 on its front elevation, the cottage is now 401 years old – once the central hall of a traditional longhouse and still alive with historic features, from timeworn beams to the magnificent inglenook fireplace complete with bread oven.

Ross loves - "I love the proud date stone of 1624 that greets you at the front door, a reminder that this cottage has been standing for over 400 years. Inside, the warmth of the beams and the spectacular inglenook fireplace with its original bread oven make the living space truly special. And then there’s the garden – a hidden, detached sanctuary that feels like another world, offering complete seclusion! Add in the fact it’s offered with no onward chain, and it’s a rare gem I'm thrilled to share."

Inside, the cottage feels both welcoming and surprisingly spacious. The main reception room provides a wonderful setting for dining and relaxing, with its atmospheric beams and glowing hearth forming the heart of the home. The kitchen, utility and ground floor bathroom all flow neatly from here, while a spiral staircase leads to two generous double bedrooms upstairs, the principal of which enjoys an en-suite shower room.

While the cottage itself is captivating, it is the garden that truly sets this home apart. Beyond a small courtyard and through a shared path lies a large, detached garden – a private sanctuary enclosed by mature hedging and trees. With a lawn, pond, summerhouse, and decked seating areas, it offers complete seclusion and a sense of escapism rarely found so close to the village centre.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a home ready to embrace immediately – whether as a unique full-time residence or a magical weekend retreat.
