Summary - 1 Castle Street, Nether Stowey TA5 1LN
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Large period premises with extensive south-facing garden and conversion potential.
Planning permission to create a self-contained two-bedroom ground-floor flat
A substantial village premises in the heart of Nether Stowey, this mid-terrace Edwardian building offers rare scope for conversion and income. Planning permission is already granted to convert the ground-floor commercial space into a self-contained two-bedroom flat, unlocking immediate residential uplift while leaving upper-floor accommodation in place. The property extends to about 3,113 sq ft and sits on a large, south-facing garden approaching 60 metres, ideal for amenity or further landscaping.
The building currently houses a retail shop and Post Office with an Amazon Hub operation and an on-licence for alcohol sales. The existing Post Office has a traditional fixed-remuneration contract that may be transferable to a new Postmaster, subject to payment of a premium. The ground floor also includes a substantial kitchen and former tea-room area that could be reinstated or repurposed.
Buyers should note the property will need some updating. Walls are stone with assumed no insulation, the residential EPC is E53, and services have not been tested — purchasers must satisfy themselves on condition and costs. Access is via three doors with a shared rear access forming part of the curtilage, and any attic conversion would require amended planning consent.
This is a versatile opportunity for an investor or owner-occupier looking to create multiple income streams or a large single-family home in a sought-after AONB gateway. The village location, low crime level and excellent mobile signal add to its practicality, while nearby A39 access, coastal proximity and the Quantock Hills broaden its appeal.
