Summary - WISTERIA COTTAGE, WELLS, WEST HORRINGTON BA5 3ED
Grade II Listed period cottage with exposed beams and arched windows
Wisteria Cottage is a well-proportioned Grade II Listed family home in tranquil West Horrington, just outside Wells. The house combines period character — exposed beams, arched windows and a stone fireplace with wood-burning stove — with comfortable living spaces: two reception rooms, a recently refitted farmhouse-style kitchen with AGA, and four good-sized bedrooms. The property is chain-free and sits on a large plot with southerly front garden and terraced rear garden offering far-reaching rural views, including Glastonbury Tor.
The layout works well for family life: a practical utility room and downstairs WC, a generous dual-aspect sitting room and a second reception ideal for dining, homework or a snug. The kitchen accommodates a dining table and has modern integrated appliances alongside traditional features. The elevated rear garden provides scope for landscaping and multiple seating areas to take advantage of the outlook.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II Listing will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or updates. There is no designated off-road parking — only on-street parking nearby — and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home-working. Council tax is described as expensive. EPC is exempt due to listed status.
This cottage will suit families seeking character, space and countryside views within easy reach of Wells’s schools and amenities. It also presents potential for sympathetic updating where permitted by listing constraints. Viewings are recommended for anyone prioritising charm, large gardens and a village setting close to Wells.
