The Bressummer beam has apotropaic or 'witch marks' which were burnt into the wood using tapers, from the 1600s onwards, to ward off bad luck or evil spirits & keep witches out. There are various burnt in marks including a faint 'Marian' mark and unusually, two names, possibly Welsh.
A door leads to the second porch and the garden, beside it a latch door takes you to another original oak spiral staircase to the first floor landing.

Attached to the house is the old apple store, the 2 cottages were allegedly once a 'cider house' with orchard, one of around 12 in the village. An original brick laundry tub is in one corner, a fire was lit under it and a tiny chimney for this can be seen in the roof of original & rare Bridgwater tiles. This store would be ideal for conversion to an artists studio, an annexe with mezzanine floor or storage/workshop space.
There is parking on Grove lane.
The property is in need of some repair and the asking price reflects the current condition of the property. Additionally there is some work to be finished to complete the combination of the 2 cottages.
