Golden Hill, Wiveliscombe, Taunton

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Somerset’s most distinctive and iconic properties - the former Arnold & Hancock Brewery Tower, beautifully converted into a unique and striking four storey home in the heart of Wiveliscombe.

This extraordinary residence combines industrial heritage with modern, creative design to offer a truly one-of-a-kind living experience. Set prominently above the town, the tower offers panoramic 360-degree views across open countryside - some of the most spectacular we’ve seen.

The building’s rich character is matched by its bold interior: exposed brickwork, stripped floorboards, contemporary finishes and architectural features come together to create a home with huge personality. Perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the space, light and outlook.

The property is approached via a gated driveway on Hauling Way, with parking in front and a large double-height garage with electric roller door that could comfortably accommodate four vehicles. The garage also benefits from a mezzanine level and offers potential for additional workspace or conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The main entrance opens into a welcoming reception hall with immediate visual impact. On the first floor, a spacious landing and inner hallway lead to a superb main bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a second double bedroom with its own shower and wash basin. A cloakroom is also located on this floor. The second floor is the social heart of the home: a vast, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area enjoying quadruple aspect views and finished with a multi-fuel burner and high ceilings - an ideal entertaining space.
A striking spiral staircase rises to the top floor where you’ll find a highly versatile living area with Herringbone wood flooring, bi-folding doors opening onto the roof terrace, and further stairs to a mezzanine level within the roof structure which would be perfect as an additional bedroom, studio or office space. The home is warmed via a mains gas fired central heating system, anthracite-finished double glazing, fire doors, stylish modern radiators, and high-spec lighting throughout, all presented in immaculate decorative order. Wiveliscombe itself offers a thriving community with a wide range of amenities including independent shops, cafes, pubs, a post office, doctors’ surgery, library, primary and secondary schools, and various sports clubs. The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside with easy access to the Brendon Hills, Quantocks and Exmoor National Park. Taunton is just 11 miles away, offering mainline rail and motorway links.
