Summary - WILLOW COTTAGE ASHMOOR DROVE WOOKEY WELLS BA5 1NS
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Five-bedroom country home with riverside garden and eco panels.
Panoramic countryside views to Glastonbury Tor
Set in an idyllic rural spot with panoramic views to Glastonbury Tor, this detached Somerset Long House balances generous family living with authentic character. The heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen/diner and a dual-aspect sitting room with a wood burner — spaces designed for everyday life and relaxed entertaining. Five double bedrooms (two with en-suite facilities) plus a versatile ground-floor snug/bedroom offer flexible accommodation for family, guests or home working.
Outside, south-facing cottage gardens slope down to the River Sheppey, with a sun-drenched patio, riverside decking and productive vegetable beds and fruit trees. The property has modern environmental additions: combined PV and solar-thermal panels and a biomass wood-pellet boiler, which have cut hot-water bills and support lower running costs during much of the year.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The stone walls were built pre-1900 and are assumed uninsulated, which can increase heating demand; the main heating uses bulk wood pellets rather than purely gas or electric. There is an informal parking arrangement across a central section owned by a local farmer, though the garden offers scope to create private parking. The property sits in a medium flood-risk area because of its riverside position — suitable mitigation and insurance are important factors to consider.
This is a characterful family home for someone seeking peaceful country living with easy access to Wells and local village amenities. It will particularly suit buyers who value view-led outdoor space and who are comfortable with traditional construction and alternative heating systems, or who see potential for sensitive upgrading and energy improvements.
