6 Bedroom Other

Situated close to the heart of the popular village of Chedzoy, this impressive Grade II listed former rectory offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and character-filled family home in a highly convenient yet peaceful setting. The village lies approximately three miles north east of Bridgwater, providing easy access to a wide range of town centre amenities, while the nearby M5 motorway offers excellent links throughout the South West and beyond.

Believed to date back to around 1700, the property is rich in history and charm, constructed of rendered stone elevations beneath a traditional pitched tiled roof. Internally, the house retains a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, fireplaces and generous proportions, while benefitting from a number of modern enhancements such as partial double glazing, oil fired central heating to the upper floors and a thoughtfully re-equipped kitchen and breakfast room.

The Owners Love - I love my house because it's so spacious, with tall ceilings, but it's got lots of character. It also had a part to play in one of the last pitched battles in the UK, the Monmouth rebellion, and there's a whole story around that. The village is wonderful, lots going on and everyone is very friendly. A real pleasure to have lived here.

The ground floor offers a wonderful sense of space and versatility, ideal for family life and entertaining. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a series of elegant reception rooms, including a characterful living room with an impressive inglenook-style fireplace, and a spacious dining room enjoying views to the rear gardens. The kitchen and breakfast room provides a practical yet sociable hub of the home, complemented by a separate utility room and a delightful sun lounge overlooking the garden.

In addition, the sun lounge offers an ideal space for a home office or quiet retreat, enjoying plenty of natural light and views over the garden. Beneath the main living areas is a particularly charming vaulted cellar, believed to sit beneath the living and dining rooms, featuring original wine arches and providing a unique and atmospheric storage or hobby space rarely found in homes of this period.

Arranged over the first and second floors are six generously proportioned bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for growing families, guests or home working. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, while the remaining bedrooms are all well sized and filled with natural light. A large family bathroom and additional w/c serve the upper floors.

Matt Loves – For me the standout is the space and character when it comes to this home. Every room has a story to tell and it offers versatility to work for every family dynamic.

Outside, the property is set within attractive and mature gardens, offering a high degree of privacy and a lovely outlook throughout the seasons. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with well stocked borders and established planting, creating an inviting setting for relaxation and outdoor entertaining. Gated access leads to ample off-road parking and two single garages, providing excellent practicality alongside the home’s considerable charm.
