Description

This distinctive property, a former Rectory, offers significant renovation and investment potential along with additional accommodation options. Set within approximately 60 acres of scenic pasture land in the picturesque hamlet of Aisholt, this site is located in one of the most appealing areas of The Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The surrounding landscape features numerous bridleways and footpaths, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities. The quaint village of Spaxton is just 2.7 miles away, offering a selection of local amenities including a shop, Post Office, village hall, and primary school. Further services can be found in the nearby community of Nether Stowey, located 3.6 miles from the property. For those seeking more extensive shopping and entertainment options, Taunton—situated 8 miles to the south—provides a variety of shops, educational institutions, cultural facilities such as a theatre and racecourse, as well as direct train connections to London Paddington. Having undergone a comprehensive restoration over the past twelve years by its current owners, the main house boasts over 5,200 square feet of living space spread across three floors. The residence retains many period features that may appeal to investors looking to enhance value while preserving character. These include flagstone and timber flooring, cast iron fireplaces, and large windows that invite natural light throughout. The ground floor comprises various living spaces including a modern kitchen with an Aga cooker that flows into a dining area overlooking gardens and a lake. The layout offers several cozy rooms suitable for both family life and entertaining guests. Notably, there are eight bedrooms; five are situated on the first floor where you'll also find an en-suite master bedroom equipped with classic fittings like a roll-top bath. Beyond the main residence lies Mellors—an attractive stone outbuilding once used as stables—which has been transformed into ancillary accommodation featuring its own charming details. Furthermore, there is planning consent for converting an adjacent barn into a separate dwelling. This barn overlooks the valley and stream below and presents exciting possibilities for further development or rental income. The diverse land surrounding the property includes grazing fields as well as pockets of woodland and former quarry sites that add unique character while enhancing its ecological value. With some sections steeped in natural beauty leading down towards water sources such as streams and lakes, this land holds considerable appeal for both agricultural use and leisure activities. Significant investment possibilities arise from acquiring the existing structures combined with any future enhancements on these expansive grounds. Given its location
