Description

Nestled in the picturesque Somerset countryside, just outside the charming village of Mells, Station House presents an intriguing opportunity for renovation. This former station master's home sits on approximately a quarter-acre plot adorned with well-established gardens. The property comprises three bedrooms within the main house and a separate log cabin featuring two additional bedrooms, showcasing potential for family living or as an income-generating holiday let (subject to permissions). The residence boasts a tranquil yet conveniently accessible location, a mere five-minute stroll from the exclusive Babington House. A quaint brick wall and wrought-iron gate frame the property, leading through a lush front garden to the entrance. Inside, an ante-hall opens into a front study fitted with a Victorian fireplace and generous windows, while the inviting sitting room features wooden flooring and a corner log burner that complements garden views. A spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area are enhanced by exposed beams and a large gas range cooker, offering views of the south-east facing garden. The ground floor also includes a utility room and convenient WC. Upstairs are three well-sized bedrooms accompanied by a family bathroom. Many rooms retain charming original fireplaces and showcase sweeping countryside vistas. The fully enclosed garden to the south-east offers privacy with mature tree borders. A gated driveway leads to double garage space along with a workshop and the two-bedroom log cabin—perfect for guests or extended family living arrangements. Station House is rich in period character while presenting ample scope for modernisation and personal touches throughout, making it an exceptional investment opportunity in this desirable locale.
