Summary - ABBOTS GRANGE FORD LANE STAWELL BRIDGWATER TA7 9AF
9 bed 6 bath Detached
Spacious historic house with two cottages and 0.83 acre walled gardens.
Grade II listed historic house with extensive period features
Abbots Grange is a striking Grade II listed village estate occupying around 0.83 acres of walled gardens on the southern slopes of the Polden Hills. The principal house offers generous, character-rich accommodation across large rooms and high ceilings — five double bedrooms, three reception rooms, and three bathrooms — complemented by period features including exposed beams, stone fireplaces and oak parquet flooring. Two attached two-bedroom cottages provide flexible ancillary space or rental income potential.
Outdoor space is a major asset: formal lawns, a pond, Bath stone colonnade, a spinney and a tucked-away bothy create private, mature gardens ideal for family life and entertaining. Substantial stone garaging with workshop and storage sits between the cottages and offers further potential for development, subject to planning (STPP).
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed, which will limit permitted works and can complicate alterations. Heating is by oil and LPG; ongoing maintenance and running costs for a house of this size should be expected. Council Tax is high (Band F for the main house) and the overall footprint is large — buyers should allow for maintenance and conservation costs.
For families, multi-generational households or investors, the house offers immediate lifestyle appeal and clear income or annex possibilities through the cottages. Its quiet village location provides good commuting links, fast broadband and proximity to independent schools, but prospective purchasers should budget for listed-building constraints and the upkeep of extensive grounds.
