Summary - ABBEY HOUSE RETREAT, CHILKWELL STREET BA6 8DH
7 bed 5 bath Detached
Expansive private gardens and flexible living close to town and top schools.
Grade II listed Georgian house and separate converted coach house
Set within nearly 1.5 acres of private, mature gardens, this Grade II listed Georgian house and magnificent converted coach house combine historic character with contemporary living. Spacious reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen with retractable Sky-Frame glazing, and a glamorous principal suite with dressing room and spa-like bathroom create a comfortable family environment with flexible accommodation across the main house and barn.
The coach house is a striking, recently developed living space with a vaulted 34ft kitchen/living room, three bedrooms and its own wood-burning stove and underfloor heating—ideal for multigenerational use, guests or rental income. The property sits on a long tree-lined drive close to Glastonbury High Street and reputable schools including Millfield preparatory and senior options.
Practical points are clear: the house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate approvals and maintenance; Council Tax is high (Band G). Services include mains utilities and an EV charging point, and there is a garage and ample parking. The grounds, greenhouse and kitchen garden offer scope for hobby gardeners but will require ongoing upkeep given their size and mature trees.
This home suits families seeking a large, characterful residence with scope for flexible living between the main house and coach house, and buyers who appreciate history, privacy and proximity to town amenities and schools. Those seeking major modernisation should note listing constraints and budget for listed-property maintenance.
