Formerly derelict, Gurney Manor Mill was rescued back in 1993 when it was sympathetically converted into a spectacular and imaginative home that perfectly reflects the mill's 15th century origins. The mill is set within about 1.2 acres of mature grounds formed around the mill's water system and used to belong to the adjacent manor house, which was built around the same time. Today, the mill represents a fantastic income generating opportunity as several bed and breakfast rooms have been incorporated into the house along with a fantastic separate 3 bedroom cottage.The mill overlooks a swathe of unspoilt countryside the stretches out on either side of a brook that still provides water the millpond and stream. The mill is L-shaped with the main portion facing north and south. This orientation was used to best effect in the conversion to ensure that the interior is suffused with natural light. The conversion was undertaken to an extremely high standard with numerous exposed roof and wall timbers plus broad plank timber flooring.The main portion of the mill is dominated by a combined dining hall and drawing room, which has a large inglenook fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove and a vaulted ceiling rising to the ridge of the roof. The room is overlooked by a minstrel's gallery at one end and a suspended, galleried landing at the other. The minstrel's gallery and principal bedroom suite are accessed by their own staircase. The other end of the room leads through to the good-sized kitchen/breakfast room. This too has a vaulted ceiling and exposed roof and wall timbers and has French windows that open out onto a gravelled area overlooking the millpond.The kitchen is fully fitted with an electric induction range cooker and contemporary units including two islands. All but one of the remaining bedroom suites are located on the ground floor.Old CarthousePositioned some distance to the north of the mill is a two storey former carthouse that has also been converted to create a charming self-contained guest cottage with three en suite double bedrooms. Its position and orientation means that it has minimal impact on the privacy of the mill and this has meant that it has served very successfully for some years as a separate holiday cottage. Off one end of the cottage and with French windows into the cottage's kitchen is a good-sized paved terrace that is mostly walled and thereby provides a delightful and sheltered outside dining area.Garden & groundsThe property is approached off a shared track that leads to a gravelled parking area with space for several cars and is adjacent to the property's attached double garage. The garden extends to about 1.2 acres and is enclosed by stone walling and encompasses the mill's pond, mill stream and leat. It incorporates paved and gravelled seating and dining areas adjacent to the mill plus several areas of level lawn dotted with several mature trees including a lovely weeping willow that extends out over the millpond and two timber footbridges crossing the stream.Gurney Manor Mill has an enviable position set apart on the edge of the thriving village of Cannington at the eastern end of the Somerset Levels.The village has excellent amenities including two churches, five pubs, village hall, nursery and pre-school, CofE primary school, Brymore Boys School Academy plus a cricket club and a 9 hole golf course with driving range.The property has swift and easy access via the A39 to the nearby historic market town of Bridgwater, which has an extensive range of shops and local businesses including GP, dental and veterinary surgeries. In addition to the local beauty of the Somerset Levels the Quantock Hills and Bridgewater Bay are both a short car journey away.There are excellent nearby local transport links in addition to the A39. Junctions 23 and 24 on the M5 are just to the north and south of the town and there are rail services from Bridgwater to Bristol, Exeter and Paddington.Accessible independent schools include King's Hall School, Taunton School and King's and Queen's Colleges and Millfield, all within a 15 mile radius.

Built around 1790 in the classic style of the age, Woodlands is a fine, late Georgian country house set within unspoilt, level countryside. The house is close to the edge of the Quantock Hills and looks on wooded hillsides to the front, with northerly views stretching behind to the Bristol Channel and Hinkley Point. It was once the home of the poet and philanthropist John Kenyon, who introduced Browning to his future wife Elizabeth Barrett and most recently has been the much-loved home of the same family for the past 27 years. The house has clearly been well maintained but is now a little tired and dated and therefore presents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to restore and modernise it, subject to its Grade II listing. It has three storeys including a lower basement floor, with the exterior walls covered in roughcast rendered under a Welsh slate roof. The house also has tall, 12-pane sash windows, a south-facing front and western side incorporating an impressive two-storey bow, which all combine to fill the inside with natural light.The interior has retained its original grandeur along with many of its original architectural fittings including fireplaces, joinery including moulded skirting boards, doors and door surrounds, fireplaces, dado and picture rails, cornicing and an elegant front staircase lit by a tall stairwell window. The ground floor has a long, central reception hall, four reception rooms, a large, west-facing kitchen/breakfast room and a wonderfully sized laundry/boot room.The first floor rooms are arranged as a mirror to those on the ground floor incorporating five big double bedrooms arranged around a long, central landing that looks down the deep stairwell at one end. The principal bedroom has south and west-facing windows with lovely rural views and an en suite bath and shower room, whilst the remaining four bedrooms share two family bathrooms.The basement floor incorporates a suite of nine rooms including the wine cellar.Stable Cottage and OutbuildingsBehind the house to the north is a courtyard of brick/timber-built ancillary outbuildings and a stone-built, Grade II listed stable block, which dates from the same period as the main house and incorporates four loose boxes, tack room and hayloft. Attached to the stable block is a three bedroom, stone-built cottage, called Stable Cottage, which has a living room, kitchen/ breakfast room and three bedrooms plus its own courtyard garden and parking. In addition to parking within the courtyard there is further parking and a garage block incorporating a double garage and single carport to the rear of the ancillary outbuildings.Garden and GroundsDesigned to originally provide carriages with convenient access to and from the house, the drive is double ended approaching both from the east and the south, with a turning ellipse immediately in front of the house.The gardens and residential grounds extend all the way around the house and are primarily lawned with areas of hard and soft landscaping and incorporating a walled garden behind the stable block, woodland and a hard surfaced tennis court, which requires resurfacing.The walled garden, which is enclosed by high walls of red sandstone, is also Grade II listed. Pasture divided into four paddocks and enclosed by post and rail fencing extends primarily outwards from the garden to the south, south east and west, with a fourth, smaller paddock in the north west corner adjacent to the tennis court. In all, the grounds extend to about 20.41 acres (8.26 hectares), of which the garden and additional area around the house and outbuildings is about 2.91 acres (1.18 hectares).Woodlands is situated amidst unspoilt countryside in the lee of the appropriately named Woodlands Hill and within the Quantock AONB. It is about half a mile as the crow flies from the small village of Holford, which sits astride the A39 and is a vibrant community with a parish church, village hall and popular pub (The Plough Inn Tripadvisor 4.5). It also has a thriving cricket club and bowling green.The neighbouring village of Kilve has an adjacent beach overlooking the Bristol Channel and a premier convenience store for emergencies. Most day to day needs can be met in the large market town of Bridgwater, which with a population of over 41,000 has an excellent choice of shops and businesses.Local transport links are good too. Bridgwater has a mainline train station with direct services to Exeter, Bristol and London Paddington and the train from Taunton to London Paddington is fantastic and only takes 1 hour and 40 minutes. Junctions 23 and 24 on the M5 are both 25 minutes away and Bristol Airport in under an hour. The wider area also has a good selection of schools from both the state and independent sectors.
