Location - Ashcott is a picturesque village just 9 miles from Bridgwater. With a strong sense of community and around 1,200 residents, the village offers excellent amenities, including a primary school, village hall, post office, shops, and five pubs — alongside its own micro brewery. The Grade II listed Church of All Saints and charming historic cottages enhance its heritage appeal. Annual highlights such as the BeerFest and village pantomime, plus active local clubs, reflect a vibrant village spirit. Set amidst rolling countryside with scenic walking and cycling routes, Ashcott combines rural tranquillity with easy access to Bridgwater and Glastonbury — making it both peaceful and well-connected.
Method of Sale - Private Treaty - Offers are invited for the whole site or the owners may consider selling in parts subject to agreement on infrastructure delivery.
