Dating from the Victorian era, the property retains a wealth of original features, including high ceilings, fireplaces and the original joinery.

The accommodation is both generous and versatile. The house was extended in 1996 creating an open-plan kitchen and living space which forms the natural heart of the house, ideal for modern family living and entertaining alike with sliding doors to the south west facing terrace. A good sized entrance hall along with two reception rooms at the front of the house with fireplace and large windows, snug/study, as well as a downstairs bathroom. There is excellent storage throughout the property including a generous boot/cloakroom, plus large walk in storage located off the versatile study/snug with a door leading to the terrace. Located off the kitchen is a further utility room housing the boiler formally the kitchen of the original house.

About the area 
Glastonbury has been a religious centre throughout history and back into the times of legends. The Celtic monastery evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys and the town grew up alongside it. Today it’s a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey which sits within 36 beautifully peaceful acres of parkland.
 
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 huge range of facilities and amenities. There are excellent local schools and the private sector includes Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows and the Bruton schools. About 12 miles south east is Castle Cary station with a main rail line to London.
 
Important Notes

Identity verification & Anti Money Laundering (AML) Requirements.
As Estate Agents we are require by law to undertake Anti Money Laundering (AML) Regulation checks on any purchaser who has an offer accepted on a property.
We are required to use a specialist third party service to verify the purchaser(s) identity.

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 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.
Call us for information on any of these points
