Description
WINDMILL COTTAGE,
WINDMILL ROAD, HIGH HAM, LANGPORT, TA10 9DL
Langport 3 miles, Somerton 5 miles, Street/Glastonbury 10 miles, Taunton 16 miles.
A very charming, detached period country home, set within a peaceful yet accessible village setting.
Full of character and constructed of attractive local lias stone, occupying a truly exceptional, elevated position close to the historic High Ham windmill with outstanding, panoramic countryside views.
Accommodation briefly comprises entrance porch, three bedrooms, two receptions, a shower room, cloakroom and a spacious, open plan kitchen/dining room.
Offered for sale with or without an addition paddock of circa 3.35 acres (by separate negotiation, ask for further details), the property offers beautifully established, south facing gardens within a plot of approaching 0.5 acres, two double garages, useful outbuildings and plenty of off road driveway parking.
Location
High Ham is a particularly attractive and historic South Somerset village, characterised by period houses, a traditional village green, and the landmark St Andrew’s Church. The village benefits from a well-regarded primary school, a strong sense of community, and the nearby Stembridge Tower Mill, the last remaining thatched windmill in England, now owned by the National Trust.
The property lies in the heart of the village, surrounded by open countryside, while remaining conveniently placed for Langport, just three miles away, which provides an excellent range of everyday amenities including shops, supermarkets, medical facilities, schools, and leisure facilities at Huish Episcopi Academy and Sports Centre.
The regional centres of Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater, and Street (home to Millfield School) are all within comfortable driving distance. Mainline rail services are available at Taunton, Castle Cary, and Yeovil, with the M5 motorway accessible at Junctions 23 and 25 and the A303 within approximately nine miles.
Accommodation
The property is approached via a front porch laid with flagstones, leading into an entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor, together with useful storage cupboards and a cloakroom/utility fitted with WC, basin, and plumbing for a washing machine.
To the left lies the kitchen/dining room, fitted with a comprehensive range of smart, painted wooden wall and base units with work surfaces over, stainless steel sink and drainer, ample space for a fridge/freezer, and integrated appliances including an electric oven, hob with extractor over, and dishwasher.
This bright and spacious room enjoys a triple aspect, ensuring that it is flooded with plenty of natural sunlight, whilst the dining area comfortably accommodates a family table and benefits from French doors to the south aspect, opening directly onto the garden.
A door from the dining area leads into the sitting room, a welcoming space with a rear aspect window and the focal point being an attractive, large inglenook fireplace with bread oven, which houses a newly installed (2024) log burner and offers considerable character, as well as a nod to its history.
At the far end of the ground floor is a versatile study or potential ground floor bedroom, together with a well-appointed shower room fitted with a shower enclosure, WC and basin with vanity cupboard, which was also replaced in 2024.
On the first floor, a landing provides access to three bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is a generous dual-aspect room with fitted storage and superb countryside views. Bedrooms two and three are both comfortable rooms enjoying similarly attractive outlooks, including a particularly fine view towards the windmill.
Outside
To the front, the property is approached via a gated gravel driveway providing parking for several vehicles and access to the two detached garages, both of blue lias construction with tiled roofs and timber double doors. Both have light and power fitted and provide useful storage space.
At the rear, the south-facing rear garden is a particularly attractive feature, laid mainly to lawn with established hedging, mature trees, and shrubs, together with a generous patio which spans the full width of the house. A range of useful outbuildings are positioned towards the rear boundary and within the additional paddock.
Beyond the garden lies the 3.35-acre paddock, with double timber gated access onto Stembridge Road, as well as gated access from the garden. The field is enclosed by stock-proof fencing and natural hedging, offering excellent potential for equestrian, smallholding, or amenity use (subject to any necessary consents).
The paddock is available to be purchased as an addition to the house if required, or the house can be purchased separately without, depending on the purchasers’ preference. The guide price will be negotiated accordingly.
Agents Note
We understand that any potential development would require written consent from the National Trust, who own the nearby mill and hold a restrictive covenant over Windmill Cottage. We understand that the cottage has been extended several times over the years, together with an additional detached garage.

P.S.
A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help.
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase need 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.
