Marsh Mill House is a charming and historic home, positioned within the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dating back to the 17th or 18th century, this versatile seven-bedroom home is being offered to the market for the first time in nearly 60 years, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved family home rich in character and heritage that is now ready for updating.Set within approximately 1.5 acres of established gardens and benefiting from a further 1-acre paddock, the property enjoys an idyllic and private setting surrounded by rolling countryside. A range of useful outbuildings offer excellent potential for a variety of uses—whether as workshops, garaging, or even scope for development (subject to any necessary consents).The house offers generously proportioned accommodation full of period charm and now offering the next owners an exciting opportunity to modernise and reimagine the space while preserving its historical integrity. Whilst the property has a wealth of character it is not currently listed.Great Wood, a vast expanse of ancient woodland of over 900 acres, lies just a short distance away, offering a haven for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts. Additionally, the nearby village of Nether Stowey provides local amenities with shops (one with a post office) church, village hall and pub and a strong sense of community.SELLER INSIGHTWhen Mum and Dad told us that they’d bought Marsh Mills at auction, it was a dream come true. It meant a move close to our grandparents on the edge of the glorious Quantocks, where we had spent many happy weeks in school holidays. We would live in what seemed like a mansion to five little girls under ten! We would each have our own bedroom; we’d be able to keep hens and a pony. We’d get lost in the maize of box hedges in the beautiful big garden and walk to the village school – now the Village Hall. We would play outside for hours in the garden and surrounding countryside, coming in when the bell above the kitchen rang out across the fields.In the years that followed the old house has been the happiest of family homes, populated by an assortment of chickens, ducks, geese and peacocks; sheep, horses and ponies, not to mention cats and dogs, many of them waifs and strays, who always found a welcome here, along with friends and relatives who needed a place to stay for a while – and five generations of our family, at times four simultaneously under one roof.It’s worth mentioning that long before our time the house welcomed such illustrious guests as the famous romanticpoets, Coleridge, Southey and Wordsworth, who were dining at Marsh Mills with the Revd John Poole, when they heard of the death of Robespierre in 1794.It has been a joy and a privilege to call Marsh Mills our home, with its rich history, warm embrace and treasured memories. But it’s time to pass the baton, and we aresure, that whoever takes it up will love Marsh Mills as we, and previous families, have done. The fact that the house has been owned by only four families over the past 250 years speaks for itself!STEP INSIDEMarsh Mill House is rich in original features that speak to its heritage and character. From the flagstone flooring and original staircase in the entrance hall to the butler bell system and the vaulted barrel ceiling on the landing, every corner offers a glimpse into the property’s storied past.On the ground floor, you're truly spoilt for choice.

Meanwhile, the former game/hanging room has been transformed into a spacious and practical laundry/boot room, complete with original brick flooring.The first floor can be accessed via two staircases and enjoys beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. A choice of seven generously sized double bedrooms also enjoy the views, along with an additional nursery or study. With three bath/shower rooms, the layout caters comfortably to modern family living while retaining the property's historic charm.STEP OUTSIDEDouble wooden gates open onto a sweeping driveway, which passes the front of the property and leads to a generous parking and turning area in front of the former cowstalls and stable block. These outbuildings have been partly converted and updated, now offering triple garaging with a games room above, while the original stables still feature charming cobbled flooring and traditional stalls.Adjoining the stables is a large workshop (with vehicular access to the road), a tack room, additional stable, all providing immense potential.

The associated remedial works included the removal of one oak tree and a Garrya shrub from the garden, as well as internal redecoration. Structural repairs were minimal and primarily involved in filling historic cracks with cementitious grout and re-plastering. No significant structural intervention was required.A new structural survey in 2025 considers Marsh Mill House to be in a reasonable condition for a property of its age and type. The observed cracking is judged to be the result of long-term, historic movement over a minimum period of 21 years. All cracks identified fall within Categories 0, 1, or 2 of the BRE Digest 251 classificatio, meaning they are considered minor and suitable for routine cosmetic repair as part of normal redecoration.A full report is available on request

I will be so sad to leave my beautiful home but am now ready to move on to life’s next adventure.STEP INSIDEDesigned with flexibility in mind, Sedge Heights can be enjoyed exactly as it is or adapted to suit a variety of living arrangements. The layout lends itself particularly well to the creation of an accessible ground floor integral annexe for a relative, while, subject to any necessary consents, the two first-floor attic rooms could be converted into more formal first-floor living accommodation.The generous triple-aspect sitting room has been designed to make the very most of the setting and views, with doors opening directly onto the patio. The beautifully fitted kitchen/dining room is well appointed with a range of integrated appliances, including Neff double ovens and hob, all set within granite worktops, together with the added convenience of an instant hot and cold tap.Connecting seamlessly, the utility room provides ample additional storage and workspace, with a door to the outside making it ideal for outdoor clothing and day-to-day practicality. A matching range of units continues the high-quality finish established in the kitchen.To the front, the generous sun/garden room takes full advantage of the glorious outlook, with remote-controlled roof blinds providing welcome shade and convenience.There are two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, one arranged as a Jack and Jill. A door from the hall leads through to the principal suite, which has the potential to function as a self-contained area of accommodation for a relative. The principal bedroom is an excellent size and enjoys commanding views over the gardens, with a door opening directly outside. In addition, there is a large dressing room, which could, if required, be adapted to create a kitchen area, and a generous bathroom fitted with a large shower enclosure and separate bath.Stairs rise from the hall to the first floor, where there are two useful attic rooms with Velux windows and standing height to the centre. Subject to any necessary consents, these rooms could be adapted to create even more versatile accommodation.STEP OUTSIDESet back on Pedwell Hill, double remote-controlled gates open onto a block-paved driveway which sweeps up to the property and provides a generous parking and turning area for several vehicles. Sweeping lawns, centred around an attractive water feature, enjoy uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside.To the side of the property is a hardstanding area with water connected and electricity laid underground via an armoured cable. Gates open into the enclosed rear yard, where the stable block provides four stables, a tack room with hot and cold water and electricity, together with a store. Adjacent is a detached timber studio, previously used as a gym, offering a wealth of potential uses and including a shower room and small kitchen area, although we understand the electricity is currently disconnected. Also within the yard is a double garage.Immediately behind the house is a further garden area with a fully enclosed swimming pool, offering privacy and safety. Whilst our clients have not used the pool for swimming, they have found it extremely useful for rainwater storage and, with the aid of a pump, have benefited from a free water supply for the gardens.Beyond the yard, a five-bar gate provides excellent access to the paddocks, and at the far end is a purpose-built school/arena with sand and rubber surface.Utilities & Services:We encourage you to check before viewing a property the potential broadband speeds and mobile signal coverage.
