Our Summary

  • Planning permission to develop the site has been refused in recent years and this is unlikely to change

Description

This historic woodland site in Somerset's Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the region's natural and industrial heritage. The 1.5-acre site features mature woodland, a fast-flowing river, and the atmospheric remains of the former Holford Silk Mills, which date back to the 16th century. The site has a rich history, having been a centre of local industry and inspiration for famous writers and artists, including William Wordsworth. The property has been featured in a Bryan Adams music video and is now a sanctuary that will appeal to lifestyle buyers, creatives, conservationists, and those with a passion for nature and heritage. The site has a covenant restricting hunting and fishing rights, and planning permission to develop the site has been refused in recent years, making it unlikely to change. Viewings are strictly by appointment, and interested parties should contact the agent to register interest and request full tender details.
