This picturesque property is situated on a country lane with Wagg Rhyne running through it and fields beyond that. Built of local blue lias stone, this lovely home was originally a pair of cottages built c1790. They were renovated and extended in 1990 by a local builder to form a very comfortable and spacious family house. Everything was kept to a traditional style with beamed ceilings, Victorian style radiators throughout and many feature fireplaces. The house is well decorated and maintained. There is scope to alter downstairs to make a seperate annex with it's own front door, or even to extend into the large walk-in loft. The property has also been run as a B & B in the past.

The ancient town of Langport and the pretty town of Somerton known as the Royal Capital of Wessex are both close by offering all amenities including Primary Schools, Post Offices, Libraries, Medical Centres, Petrol Station, many small shops and Tesco Supermarket. A very good senior school is nearby ( about 15 minutes walk), Huish Episcopi School Science and Languages College and alongside the school is a sports/recreation centre. The well known Millfield School is about 20 minutes drive at Street. Finally the schools at Bruton are about 35 minutes away and Sherborne 30 minutes. We are about half an hour from Taunton and Bridgwater, both with railway stations with mainline routes to London etc. and access to the M5. Ten minutes in the other direction takes you on to the A303 and London.
