Description

This sympathetically restored former Rectory, known as Aisholt House, is situated in a stunning position within the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property, which dates back to the late 18th century, has been lovingly restored over the past 12 years and now offers over 5,200 square feet of accommodation across three floors. The house features period charm throughout, including flagstone and timber flooring, cast iron fireplaces, and window seats. The ground floor includes a modern kitchen, dining space, and snug, while the first and second floors offer eight bedrooms, including an en-suite bathroom and a separate shower room. The property also features a loggia, former walled and kitchen gardens, and a seating terrace with views of the valley and lake. The adjacent former stables have been converted into a characterful annexe, and there is a substantial farm building used for storage. The property sits within 15.5 acres of beautiful pasture land, which runs down to a stream, and is surrounded by miles of bridleways and footpaths. The village of Spaxton is nearby, and the county town of Taunton is just eight miles away, offering a range of amenities and a mainline railway link to London.
