Description

Avalon Priory is a remarkable Grade II listed Victorian folly, originally built in 1838, presenting a unique opportunity for restoration and investment. Nestled in the serene landscapes of rural Somerset, the property covers approximately 9,500 square feet and includes extensive grounds of around 9.5 acres with mature gardens and a separate detached cottage of 1,700 square feet. While it boasts historical charm with unique architectural features such as a three-storey tower and original period materials, the interior requires significant updating to modernize its appeal for contemporary living. The property has previously accommodated multiple occupants but is currently available with full vacant possession, allowing for flexible renovation plans. Various planning consents have already been granted for extensions and internal alterations, making this an attractive proposition for those looking to create a bespoke residence while preserving its historical significance.
