Tucked at the end of a terrace, this Grade II listed stone cottage – dating from the 1700s – sits just south of the high street in the highly desirable village of Wellow, a short drive south of Bath.

Originally two separate cottages, its position was described at a rural council meeting in 1937 as ‘one of the most beautiful in Somerset’ and ‘a veritable sun trap.’ Remarkably, the loveliness of its setting, and the far-reaching views that unfold beyond it, have remained largely unchanged ever since. Having been occupied by the same family for more than 90 years, this is the first time the cottage has come to the modern market. ‘It’s secluded, tranquil and enjoys wonderful views across the Wellow valley and river,’ say the owners, whose parents and grandparents cherished life here as part of the village’s close-knit community. Known for its natural beauty, and for nearby Stoney Littleton Long Barrow, the remarkable Neolithic chambered tomb that adds such depth and presence to the landscape, Wellow has long drawn those seeking countryside and connection in equal measure.

Arranged over two floors, the house offers well-balanced accommodation. The ground floor comprises a sitting room, separate dining room and kitchen/breakfast room. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate shower room and a WC. ‘It’s a lovely cottage with scope for modernisation and, subject to planning, it could be extended to the rear, something neighbouring properties have achieved,’ explain the owners. Parking is available at the front of the property.
Wellow is prized for its excellent primary school, welcoming Fox & Badger pub and strong sense of community. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, there are plentiful walks along the river and through the rolling landscape beyond, making it ideal for walking and horse riding alike. A well-supported shop and local tennis club further enhance village life, all contributing to Wellow’s warm and enduring spirit.

‘Over the years, our family has enjoyed the spacious and private garden, which has generously offered fresh vegetables, vibrant flowers, and a wonderful play area.’

‘Over the past 70 years, the neighbours have been consistently helpful, kind, and friendly – many of the immediate neighbours have lived here for around forty years, creating a strong sense of continuity.’
