King Ina's Palace, a remarkable testament to late medieval architecture, was constructed in 1485 by the prominent Daubeney family. This Grade II* listed segment of a 14th-century manor is steeped in history, with connections to King Ina of Wessex and significant figures like Giles Daubeney, a trusted advisor to Henry VII. Presently, this property showcases an array of original features, such as towering ceilings, elegant stone mullion windows adorned with leaded and some stained glass elements, intricate carved stone fireplaces, and cozy window seats. The ground floor boasts a spacious sitting room complete with a wood-burning stove and double-aspect windows overlooking the garden. An arched entryway leads into the dining area, which also features a stone fireplace. Adjacent to these spaces are the kitchen and cloakroom. The first floor accommodates a master bedroom featuring an open ensuite bathroom alongside a guest bedroom with its own shower room, separate WC, and family bathroom. Notably, two additional attic bedrooms offer potential for further development; specifically, bedroom three could be transformed into an ensuite facility (pending necessary planning approvals).
The property is accessed via ornate wrought iron gates leading to a gravel parking area accommodating multiple vehicles. Alongside is a double garage made of stone and tile that can house four cars while providing mezzanine storage above. A central feature of this estate is the expansive garden divided into distinct areas by gravel pathways and surrounded by lush yew hedging and topiary bushes—ideal for private enjoyment or outdoor entertaining on warmer days.
Noteworthy existing structures include an octagonal thatched Rondavel along with two timber outbuildings currently utilized for storage but presenting opportunities for conversion into additional living space or unique glamping units for rental income (subject to relevant permissions).
Situated on Silver Street just moments from South Petherton village center—a lively community offering excellent amenities including an Art Centre, local shops, dining options, healthcare facilities, and schools—this property combines historical charm with investment possibilities in a desirable location.
