Aley, Over Stowey

This charming small holding and equestrian facility is set in a tranquil rural location at the base of the Quantock Hills, providing immediate access to stunning walking, mountain biking, and horse riding opportunities within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property spans approximately 1.5 acres. Aley Cottage is a three-storey period residence that retains much of its original character while incorporating modern conveniences such as oil-fired underfloor heating and fibre broadband. The ground floor accommodates an entrance hall, a spacious kitchen/dining/family room, a snug/office, a utility room, a rear hall, and a bathroom. The first floor features two generous double bedrooms and a single bedroom alongside a well-equipped family bathroom. The second floor was converted in 2012 to create a large storage area with an adjoining shower room that could serve as an additional ensuite bedroom or living area, pending necessary applications for change of use under Permitted Development. Externally, the property is accessed through attractive timber gates leading to ample parking and turning space surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens offering high levels of privacy. The outdoor area features lawns, rose arches, patios, pergolas, raised vegetable beds, and even a former stone piggery with potential for diverse uses subject to planning approval. Adjacent to the parking area are two stables and a tack room equipped with light, power, and water facilities; there’s also a detached timber workshop/store and an open-fronted barn that could potentially be converted into an annexe (subject to planning). Opposite the house lies a track giving right of way over neighbouring land to additional amenities including another large hardstanding yard with timber field shelter and stables along with mains water access. The paddock area has been split into various grazing sections surrounded predominantly by woodland for natural shelter. The picturesque hamlet of Aley provides residents with easy access to local amenities while being enveloped in splendid countryside ideal for outdoor pursuits. Nearby Nether Stowey offers primary schooling options along with several pubs and shops including butchers and fishmongers. Furthermore, recreational options abound in this scenic region known for its countryside charm and accessibility to larger towns like Bridgwater (8 miles) and Taunton (10 miles), both promising extensive retail options.
