About this property
A beautifully refurbished three-bedroom thatched cottage with a detached annexe, two further outbuildings, gardens and paddock, with potential for smallholding or private equestrian use, in an accessible rural location.
The cottage is believed to date back to around 1500 and it has been comprehensively refurbished by the present owners in recent years. Set to the rear of the cottage is a detached annexe which is believed to have been the original dwelling on the site and historically known as ‘Hope Cottage’.
Planning permission was granted on 28 April 2025 for the erection of a single-storey side extension to Woodlands Cottage, further details are available on Somerset Council Planning Portal under Application no. 44/25/0001.
The property lies in a tucked-away rural location just one mile from Wellington, where there is an excellent range of shops, schools and local amenities. There is easy access to junction 26 of the M5 motorway, and a wider range of amenities are provided in the County Town of Taunton, including a main line rail link to London Paddington.
