Set on just over half an acre in the desirable East Coker hamlet, this substantial detached property offers over 4,800 sq ft of adaptable accommodation and strong redevelopment potential. The building retains traditional character and large communal spaces from its life as a public house—bar area, skittle alley, pool room, cinema room and a double garage—making it attractive to investors, developers or large families seeking generous room proportions and a big plot.
Planning permission to change the former pub and flat to a single dwelling (Ref. 24/01865/COU, approved 31 Oct 2024) removes a key hurdle for conversion but practical work remains. The property includes a 4/5 bedroom self-contained flat, multiple reception rooms, a kitchen, two shower rooms and extensive ancillary rooms, offering scope for open-plan living, multi‑generational use or creating several high-value rooms.
Practical points are important: services and appliances have not been tested and a full survey is recommended. Parts of the building will require refurbishment to modern residential standards and some rooms are arranged to suit a commercial layout rather than a conventional home. Mobile signal is average; broadband is fast. Council tax is low and the site has off-street parking, an old pub car park, vegetable plot and a sizeable garden.
Location strengths include low local crime, nearby good and outstanding schools, and a peaceful countryside setting popular with white-collar rural workers. For buyers wanting space, character and clear planning permission, this property is a rare, flexible opportunity—ideal for conversion projects, a large single-family home or an income-led redevelopment (subject to further consents).
