The Grange

About this property

The Grange offers a retreat for those in search of a unique countryside escape with a difference. The wonderful location offers the perfect opportunity to explore the delights of the Somerset levels. Bird lovers may be lucky enough to spot buzzards, cranes and herons. A visit to Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury Abbey and the five National Nature reserves are a must! But you don’t have to go out and about if you simply need oodles of space for energetic children (and grownups) to run around in, just make the most of the huge gardens you will have all to yourselves.

For those who prefer indoor comforts, the Grade II listed home boasts a classic and tasteful interior. Filled with wonderful original features Gothic arch doorways, exposed beams, flagstone floors, a vaulted galleried landing and open fireplaces all add to the unique atmosphere. This hidden jewel within Somerset is believed to date back to the 13th century, having undergone various renovations over subsequent years. The current owners have very sympathetically updated The Grange to create a characterful home-from-home. 

The ground floor has a welcoming large comfortable living room with open fireplace, extremely well-equipped country style kitchen with sparkling disco ball, breakfast area and superb dining room, all with original flagstone floors. Four bedrooms are located on the first floor, including the Master bedroom with garden views and en suite bathroom. There are three further large bedrooms (two with king/double beds plus a single in each, and one with zip link super king bed that can also be made up as a twin room). The rooms share access to a country style family bathroom on the first floor. The roll top bath is perfect for a soak after a day of exploring Somerset and there is an additional shower room available on the ground floor.

There is no better way to end the day than an al fresco barbecue in the wonderful enclosed gardens where you can soak up the last of the day’s sun, try your hand at a game of croquet on the well-tended lawn or simply enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this exquisite Somerset retreat.

The Grange is located in a wonderful position for those wanting to explore the beautiful county of Somerset. Popular Glastonbury, steeped in myth and history, is just a 25-minute car journey from the house. For shopaholics, Clarks Village is just 20-minutes away and offers a variety of designer and high street brands at outlet prices.

This home is located in the small village of Stawell, set between the old market towns of Glastonbury/Street and Bridgwater where a large variety of helpful amenities, including shops and restaurants, can be found, with several favoured pubs in the surrounding villages. While guests will be able to enjoy complete and total tranquillity, the house is conveniently situated less than 10 minutes from the M5.
