Stolford, Stogursey, Bridgwater, Somerset, TA5

A well-proportioned, link-detached house, Listed Grade II, set within grounds of about 8.27 acres.

Situated at the end of a quiet, no-through country lane, Chalcott is a handsome Grade II Listed, link-detached house. Believed to be its first time on the open market for over 100 years, the property was once part of a larger farm run by the current owners.
Having been a much loved, long-term family home, the property is now in need of updating.

The attractive, symmetrical Georgian façade features a central front door, large sash windows, and refined proportions. Upon entering, the central hallway offers access to a sitting room on one side and dining room to the other, both of which are generously proportioned with tall ceilings, fireplaces, and large sash windows overlooking the surrounding pastureland. The property’s unique layout continues with a cloakroom beneath the stairs and a set of steps leading to the older, cross-passage farmhouse that oozes character with its exposed beams, flagstone and quarry tiled floors, and timber mullioned windows. The kitchen/breakfast room is found in this part of the house with its traditional floor and wall mounted units, an oil-fired AGA, separate electric oven and hob, and picturesque views over the well-maintained gardens. There is a large utility/boot room next to this with a door out to the veranda. The ground floor also includes a spacious office/additional sitting room featuring a large inglenook fireplace with log burner, and a window overlooking the kitchen garden. A storage room, currently used as a tack room, and a cross passage hallway complete the accommodation on this floor.

On the first floor, the property offers six bedrooms in total, five of which are double and one single. Of particular note are the principal and main guest bedrooms, both of which are in the Georgian part of the house and offer generous proportions and views over the surrounding farmland. There are also two bathrooms on this floor.

The accommodation is highly versatile, with the current owners having used one end of the house as a self-contained, two-bedroom holiday let in the past. This section includes its own access, kitchen, and sitting room with large inglenook fireplace, making it ideal for guests or as an annexe for multigenerational living. Alternatively, this space could easily be used in conjunction with the main house.
