High Street, Wincanton, Somerset, BA9

This charming Grade II listed Georgian house is situated in a convenient residential area at the upper end of the High Street within a short walk of the town centre amenities.

This property has an interesting history having been occupied in 1851 by Alberto Bioletti, an Italian soldier who fought many campaigns for Napoleon Bonaparte before he settled in Wincanton as a peaceful master clockmaker. His extraordinary past is brought vividly to life in Surviving Napoleon, a novel by local historian John Baxter.

Although the property requires some refurbishment there is the opportunity to create a home to your own taste and style. This delightful home enjoys a cosy sitting room with period fireplace, spacious kitchen/diner, downstairs WC, three bedrooms, large bathroom gas central heating and garden.
