Description

THE OLD RECTORY,
MIDDLE ROAD, COSSINGTON, SOMERSET, TA7 8LQ
 
A beautifully restored Georgian former rectory, positioned in the centre of Cossington village and set within mature and thoughtfully landscaped gardens. This Grade II listed home offers over 4,600 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation arranged across three floors and combines original period character with an elegant, contemporary finish.
 
The Old Rectory is a gracious and comfortable family home, full of warmth and style, ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. It includes a superbly fitted kitchen, elegant reception rooms, five bedrooms, and delightful outdoor spaces that unfold across a series of garden areas.
 
The Old Rectory has been renovated with exceptional care, offering historic charm with the benefit of modern convenience and amenities.
 
LOCATION
Cossington is a small, peaceful village surrounded by beautiful countryside yet within easy reach of nearby towns. The house is close to the parish church and sits quietly at the heart of the community.
Street, a short drive away, offers a comprehensive range of amenities, including Clarks Village shopping centre and highly regarded schools such as Millfield. The cathedral city of Wells, Taunton, and Bristol are all accessible, with the M5 motorway (J23) just over 4 miles away, providing excellent travel connections.
 
DESCRIPTION
The Old Rectory is an attractive stone-built, and wisteria clad, property with a triple roman tiled roof, gothic architectural details, carefully restored to enhance both its historic features and its everyday functionality. The approach is along a gravelled drive lined with mature planting, creating a sense of privacy and setting the tone for the house beyond.
Inside, a vestibule leads into the entrance hall, finished in travertine flooring and giving access to a boot room and cloakroom. There are three main reception rooms. The drawing room features a Minster stone fireplace with woodburning stove, bespoke cabinetry, and a charming bay window overlooking the front garden—this has been faithfully recreated in a traditional style with detailed glazing and period ironmongery.
A second sitting room includes a further fireplace, original shutters, and a window seat, while the dining room retains exposed flagstone floors and built-in cupboards around a former chimney breast—providing character and practicality. A separate study with garden access sits to the rear of the house.
The kitchen is one of the standout features of the property. Set across two levels, it is beautifully designed with cabinetry in muted tones and a layout that balances functionality with relaxed dining and entertaining. The upper level includes an electric AGA and side oven with induction hob, alongside generous work surfaces and high-quality appliances including a Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer and Miele dishwasher.
Steps lead to a lower level where the space opens out into a triple-aspect informal dining area, complete with a Kohler Belfast sink, curved breakfast bar, and lowered ceiling which creates a sense of intimacy while allowing in plenty of natural light. Adjacent rooms include a utility room with Miele coffee machine and a separate boiler/drying room.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom with high-end fittings. Three further bedrooms are on this level, sharing a smart family bathroom with corner bath, vanity unit, and separate shower. The fifth bedroom, located on the top floor and once part of the servant’s quarters, includes a newly fitted en suite shower room and generous proportions.
 
OUTSIDE
The gardens wrap around the property and have been carefully landscaped to create a series of distinct areas. From the driveway, a pathway winds past ferns and mature trees to a seating area beneath dappled shade. A level lawn is enclosed by raised borders, with views back to the elegant façade of the house.
Beside the drawing room, a paved terrace surrounded by lavender, roses and peonies provides a perfect spot for late afternoon or evening drinks. The garden continues through a range of spaces: a barbecue area laid in sandstone with hot tub beneath a timber pergola, herb and kitchen gardens, fruit trees, and a lawn ideal for play or quiet enjoyment. A substantial garage block offers parking for four cars, and nearby outbuildings include wood storage and space for gardening equipment.
