Blake House, Bove Town, Glastonbury, Glastonbury, BA6

This beautiful period home is not only rich in character features but also offers many practical benefits, including three reception rooms, off-road parking, and a detached double garage. The property is situated on one of the town’s oldest roads, conveniently positioned close to Glastonbury’s amenities. It has been significantly improved during the current ownership and has successfully operated as a holiday let. The spacious accommodation will appeal to a wide range of buyers, thanks to its versatile ground-floor layout and the advantage of three en-suite bedrooms on the first floor.

The entrance hallway, featuring flagstone flooring, provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation. This includes a well-proportioned lounge fitted with French doors that open onto the garden, offering lovely views and encouraging alfresco dining. Further doors lead to a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, which has been significantly improved by the current owners. It now comprises a range of “Shaker”-style units and incorporates a Belfast sink and granite work surfaces. The kitchen enjoys an abundance of natural light from a skylight and offers similar garden views. French doors open into a small garden room, providing additional seating space and direct access to the garden. There is separate access to a useful utility room providing further storage and access to shower room with WC.

A charming sitting room, complete with an inglenook fireplace and wood burner, serves as a wonderful focal point. The inglenook is enhanced by an inset oak beam, adding to the room’s original charm. A useful study completes the ground-floor accommodation.

The first-floor layout is perfectly suited for family living or continued holiday let use. There are three generously sized double bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite shower room or bathroom. The largest bedroom is positioned at the rear of the house and enjoys a south-westerly aspect, overlooking the garden, Glastonbury, and the distant countryside.

To the front of the property, a raised garden is thoughtfully arranged with mature shrubs and well-stocked planting beds, with steps leading up to the entrance. To the side, a detached double garage with electric doors provides excellent storage, complemented by secure off-road parking accessed from Rowley Road. The beautifully landscaped rear garden is arranged over attractive terraces and has been meticulously maintained. A paved seating area, enclosed by characterful stone walls and vibrant planting, offers a private and peaceful spot for outdoor dining and relaxation. The garden rises through a series of well-planted levels, featuring an array of mature shrubs, colourful borders, and decorative features, creating a sense of charm and seclusion.

Further up, a delightful summer house, and brick-built shed provide practical storage solutions, while a vegetable garden occupies the upper tier. From here, the elevated position affords wonderful views across completing this exceptional outdoor space.

The historic market town of Glastonbury is renowned for its rich spiritual heritage, long associated with mysticism, Pagan traditions, and holistic living. Dominated by the iconic Glastonbury Tor and steeped in myth and legend, the town has become a vibrant centre for alternative culture, attracting those interested in healing, spirituality, and wellbeing. Its charming High Street reflects this character, offering an eclectic mix of independent shops, holistic services, cafés, and everyday conveniences, alongside a local supermarket. Glastonbury also benefits from a good range of educational facilities, with schooling available from infant through to secondary level, while further education can be found nearby at Strode College. The neighbouring town of Street provides a wider selection of shopping, including the popular Clarks Village outlet centre, and the historic cathedral city of Wells lies approximately 6 miles away. Despite its tranquil and unique atmosphere, Glastonbury is well connected, with access to the M5 motorway around 15 miles distant and mainline rail services from nearby Castle Cary offering direct routes to London Paddington.
