Characterful five-bedroom long house with huge gardens and panoramic Tor views.
Five double bedrooms, two with ensuite facilities
Willow Cottage is a spacious five-bedroom Somerset long house set beside the River Sheppey, with uninterrupted views to Glastonbury Tor from virtually every room. The house blends traditional features — exposed beams, wood-burning stoves and stone walls — with modern additions including solar PV, biomass heating and ultrafast broadband. The open-plan kitchen/dining space, dual-aspect sitting room and two en-suite bedrooms suit family life or multi-generational living.
Outside, the south-facing patio, riverside deck and huge gardens provide extensive outdoor living, productive vegetable beds and mature fruit trees. The garden is charming and private, with direct river frontage and a deck ideal for relaxing or launching a small boat. There is scope to create formal parking within the plot if required.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: the site has a medium flooding risk and drainage is private. A gravel access area between two parts of the garden is owned by a neighbouring farmer and not included in the sale; the current informal parking arrangement could be withdrawn. The property’s EPC is D despite renewable installations, and some buyers may wish to review insulation or efficiency upgrades.
Overall this detached long house will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful rural home with substantial garden and waterside charm, plus the potential to personalise parking and energy efficiency further.
