Description

Cossington Park is a stunning historic house of early Georgian origin, boasting over 5,000 square feet of elegant accommodation, beautiful gardens, and a peaceful village setting. With origins dating back to the 17th century, this remarkable home has been owned by the same family for almost 400 years and exudes the spirit of the English country house. The property features three principal reception rooms, a conservatory, six bedrooms, and five bath/shower rooms, including four en-suite bathrooms. The house has evolved over centuries, combining historical architecture with modern comforts, and is approached via a cobbled drive and through double timber gates. The gardens are enchanting, with south-facing lawns, yew and box hedging, rose and iris beds, and a variety of specimen trees. The property also comes with planning consents for various works, including the conversion and extension of outbuildings into additional living spaces. Located in the picturesque village of Cossington, just 10 miles from Street and 20 miles from Taunton, this exceptional property offers a unique blend of history, charm, and tranquility.
