Elegant Grade II Home with Charming Cottages in Stawell, Somerset

Tucked quietly within the gentle southern slopes of the Polden Hills, Abbots Grange is an exceptionally handsome Grade II listed home of considerable presence and charm, accompanied by two beautifully proportioned two-bedroom cottages. Set within a peaceful village setting, the property offers a rare blend of architectural heritage, versatile living and refined rural tranquillity.

The main house has an immediate sense of scale and character. A grand entrance hall, with its galleried landing and oak parquet flooring, sets a confident tone, from which the principal rooms radiate. The drawing room is both elegant and welcoming, centred around a carved stone fireplace and softened by natural light through French doors opening to the garden. A more formal dining room, complete with an impressive inglenook fireplace and flagstone flooring, provides a wonderful setting for entertaining, while a snug and a conservatory offer more relaxed spaces from which to enjoy the surrounding gardens.

The kitchen-diner forms the centre of the home, well appointed and practical, with adjoining utility and boot room spaces that serve everyday country living with ease. Across the house, period detail remains beautifully intact — from exposed beams and Gothic arched doorways to original stonework and joinery — reflecting both its early origins and later Arts & Crafts influences.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around the generous landing, including a principal suite with dressing room and en suite, enjoying far reaching views towards the Polden Hills. A second en suite bedroom and family bathroom complete the accommodation.

Cottages
Garden Cottage and Courtyard Cottage — offer exceptional flexibility. Whether used for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, home working or income generation, both cottages are self contained and characterful, each with two bedrooms and well balanced living spaces.

Outside
The gardens are a particular highlight, extending to just over 0.8 acres. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully established, they offer a series of spaces to explore and enjoy — from sweeping lawns and a formal pond to a Bath stone colonnade draped in climbing roses. Sheltered seating areas, a stone bothy and a small spinney add to the sense of quiet seclusion and timeless appeal.
A range of outbuildings, including garaging, workshop and stores, provide further opportunity, subject to the necessary consents.
