This detached three-bedroom period cottage is set in a rural location around one mile from Wellington. It has a detached annexe, gardens, a paddock and two outbuildings, with approximately one acre in all. The cottage is believed to date from around 1500 and has been comprehensively refurbished in recent years.
The cottage has a thatched roof, a rear flat-roof extension and central heating supplied by an air source heat pump. A covered front porch leads to the entrance hall and sitting room with fireplace. The dining room has oak flooring and an inglenook-style fireplace, with curved steps leading down to the kitchen.
The kitchen has modern units, work surfaces, a one-and-a-half-bowl sink, range cooker with extractor hood, space for an American-style freezer, plumbing for a dishwasher and stone flooring. It leads to a utility room with a stable-style external door, work surface, washing-machine plumbing and stone flooring. The ground-floor cloakroom has a WC, wash basin and cupboard containing the heat-pump tank and controls.
A large first-floor landing leads to three bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath or shower room. Room sizes are approximate; refer to the floor plan for details.
The detached annexe sits beside the rear of the main residence and has also been refurbished in recent years. Photovoltaic solar panels are fitted to its roof. It has two ground-floor rooms, one with built-in storage, a sink, electric oven, four-ring hob and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher.
A further room on the first floor has a wall divider at one end, behind which are a shower cubicle, WC and wash basin. The annexe is believed to have been the original dwelling on the site and was historically known as Hope Cottage.
The property is at the end of a shared track, with a private parking area providing space for numerous vehicles. The spacious gardens and grounds include an old brick well and a stone wall along the eastern boundary.
Beyond the garden, the paddock includes a timber goat shed measuring 23 ft 7 in by 11 ft 3 in (7.2 m by 3.4 m). Young trees grow at the top end of the paddock, alongside a timber workshop under a box-profile roof measuring 29 ft by 19 ft 5 in (8.8 m by 5.9 m). The gardens, paddock and buildings extend to approximately one acre (about 0.4 hectare) in all. The land is described as having potential for smallholding or private equestrian use.
Planning permission was granted on 28 April 2025 for a single-storey side extension to Woodlands Cottage. Further details are available on the Somerset Council Planning Portal under application number 44/25/0001.
Wellington, with shops, schools and local amenities, is approximately one mile away. Junction 26 of the M5 is easily accessible. Taunton offers a wider range of amenities and a mainline rail link to London Paddington.
