Description

This impressive Grade II listed property offers an exceptional opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment. Spanning nearly 4,000 square feet, the main dwelling features six bedrooms and retains many original character elements that can be beautifully restored. While currently in need of modernization, the structure has great potential to become a remarkable family home or a distinctive rental property. The interior layout provides ample space, including a spacious living room complete with a bay window and fireplace, a dining room with an inviting log-burning stove, as well as a practical kitchen featuring an Aga. The ground floor also includes utility facilities and multiple access points to the garden. The first floor boasts five generously sized bedrooms, including a principal suite with an adjoining dressing room. An additional bedroom and secondary kitchen could allow for versatile use, such as creating separate living quarters. Complementing the main house is a stone barn situated just beyond the garden. Planning permission is already in place for its conversion into a two or three-bedroom dwelling, presenting additional income potential or housing for extended family. The consent includes provisions for new access from Old School Lane along with the construction of two detached garages. Set on over half an acre within walled grounds, this property offers plenty of outdoor space that can be enhanced through landscaping or additional structures. Further development opportunities exist with an adjoining parcel of land available by separate negotiation, which comes with outline planning permission for four detached homes. Located in the scenic Polden Hills village of Catcott, residents enjoy proximity to essential amenities such as a primary school, local pubs, and community spaces while being just a short drive from larger towns like Bridgwater and Street, which offer comprehensive shopping and educational facilities. This property stands out not only due to its historic charm but also because of its transformative potential in a desirable area. With careful renovation and vision, it could become both a beautiful residence and a lucrative investment opportunity.
