Cossington Park is a rare early-Georgian country house set in extensive, mature south-facing grounds within a peaceful Somerset village. The house offers over 5,000 sq ft of gracious reception rooms, a conservatory, six bedrooms and five bath/shower rooms, four en suite — spacious family living with strong period character. Landscaped lawns, walled gardens, an orchard paddock and a lily pond sit behind high stone walls, delivering privacy and scope for outdoor family life.
A collection of substantial stone outbuildings and a large courtyard adjoin the house; outline planning permissions exist for conversion of several buildings to a one-bedroom cottage, a two-bedroom cottage and a large multi-purpose room. The estate has been in the same family for centuries and benefits from biomass heating fed by bulk wood pellets, offering lower-cost heating fuel but requiring ongoing fuel supply and boiler maintenance.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can complicate modernisation. The house has an EPC rating of F, private drainage, granite walls likely without insulation and a Council Tax band described as quite expensive. Some conversion projects are only at outline stage and full permissions and costs should be confirmed before purchase.
This is a compelling purchase for a buyer seeking a substantial, characterful family home with development potential in outbuildings, or for someone wanting a special rural residence close to major road links and regional schools. Viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the scale, setting and potential, as well as to assess any necessary upgrade works.
