Description

OVERTON HOUSE
ALLER, LANGPORT, SOMERSET, TA10 0QN

A handsome, detached Georgian residence of red brick and Blue Lias stone, originally under the stewardship of the Duchy of Cornwall—once owned by King Charles III. 

With generous proportions, period charm, and flexible living accommodation, Overton House occupies a 0.27-acre plot in the heart of the charming village of Aller.

Accommodation includes multiple reception spaces, five double bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a potential annexe, alongside enchanting gardens, ample parking, and a substantial barn with further scope.
 
LOCATION
The peaceful village of Aller lies just two miles from Langport and offers a traditional English village feel, with a welcoming pub, a 12th-century parish church, and a vibrant community. 

Langport provides a comprehensive range of amenities including shops, cafes, healthcare facilities, and schools. The area is ideal for families, with nearby Huish Episcopi Academy and a choice of prestigious independent schools such as Millfield and Wells Cathedral School.

Excellent transport links are available via mainline rail stations at Taunton and Yeovil, while the M5 and A303 provide swift access further afield.
 
Accommodation
Dating from the mid-18th century, Overton House is a beautifully preserved period property that has evolved over time to offer comfortable modern living while retaining its original charm. Access is via a glazed timber door at the rear, leading into a flagstone-floored entrance hall with half-panelled walls.
 
To the right of the hall lies a bright, dual-aspect sitting room extending into a garden room, enjoying windows on all sides and an ornate fireplace with a fossil stone hearth. Adjacent is a formal reception room with solid oak flooring and a Victorian cast-iron fireplace—ideal for entertaining or as a study.

The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/diner, flooded with light from windows on three aspects. A large inglenook hosts an oil-fired Aga and the boiler, while adjacent are shaker-style units, a 4-ring electric hob, and plumbing for modern appliances.

An annexe-style section, accessed from the kitchen, includes a small kitchenette, cloakroom, snug with fireplace and bread oven, and a mezzanine-style bedroom above—ideal for guests or multigenerational living.

FIRST FLOOR
Upstairs, five generous double bedrooms and three bathrooms provide excellent family accommodation. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspects and a trap door connecting it to the snug below, making it perfect as a semi-independent suite. Other rooms include built-in wardrobes, Victorian-style fireplaces, and access to a fully boarded attic space via stairs. All bathrooms are well-appointed, with one featuring a bidet and shower cubicle.
 
Outside
Overton House sits within beautifully maintained and varied gardens. To the rear, a colourful arrangement of perennials, two wisterias, and a fig tree climb the southern façade, while a leylandii hedge offers complete privacy. A gated pathway leads to a second lawned garden with mature fruit trees and all-day sun.

At the front, a smaller garden area is neatly framed by flowering shrubs and a wrought iron fence. A gravelled drive offers off-road parking for multiple vehicles, leading to a large barn. This is currently used for storage but with fantastic potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
