For Sale6 Bedroom Terraced House in Castle Street, Nether Stowey, Taunton, TA5£850,000

An attractively presented period house, Listed Grade II, of great charm and historic interest, set in the heart of a sought after Somerset village.<br/><br/>Thomas Poole House is undoubtedly one of the principal houses in the village with its Georgian facade and classical panelled front door with portico surround and stained-glass window. The property is of particular historic interest and carries a blue plaque commemorating Thomas Poole’s friendship with the poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge who, we understand, were regular visitors to the house. Thomas Poole himself was a wealthy farmer and tanner still remembered today as a major local benefactor. His impressive bookroom with its barrel ceiling receives a mention in Pevsner. The house has been well restored over the years and now provides a most comfortable and spacious house. Particularly good reception space includes a charming drawing room with wood burning stove, ceiling cornice and three large sash windows. A sitting room, which could also be used as a formal dining room, lies to the other side of the hall and adjoins the refitted kitchen with an AGA. There is a further reception room/library to the rear of the house, which leads to an adaptable studio/events room. The bedrooms are all of a good size, the principal bedroom having an en suite marble bathroom. There are two further bedrooms, both en suite and two double bedrooms on the second floor with a family bathroom and dressing room. <br/><br/>Tax Band: G
