Nursery Cottage is an unusually intact 15th-century thatched family home set in mature gardens with open countryside views towards the Quantocks. Recently renovated to a high standard, the house keeps original features — exposed timbers and stone fireplaces — while offering flexible, sizeable living spaces including a large kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory/sunroom and generous principal bedroom. A detached double garage plus a log-cabin office/studio add useful ancillary accommodation and parking for several cars.
The property suits families seeking rural calm yet reasonable commuting access to Taunton and the M5. The garden is a key asset: lawned areas, terraces, a decked entertaining space, vegetable beds and a summerhouse provide varied outdoor rooms for children, pets and entertaining. Internally the layout is adaptable for home working or multi-generational use, with ground-floor reception rooms linked by a central double-faced wood-burning stove.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The thatched roof and historic stone construction will require specialist maintenance and appropriate insurance; the stone walls are assumed uninsulated. Heating is by LPG boiler to radiators and the property uses an independent sewage system. Broadband speeds are reported as slow — important if you depend on high-capacity remote working.
Overall this is a characterful, recently refreshed country home that balances period charm with usable family accommodation and outbuildings. It will appeal to buyers who value setting, craftsmanship and garden space, and who are comfortable with the ongoing costs and practicalities of maintaining a historic thatched property.
