Inside the beautiful 17th Century home up for sale for the fourth time in its history - priced at £1.9m

A Grade II-listed property built during the reign of James I is up for sale for only the fourth time in its 420-year history - with a £1.9 million price tag. The Somerset spread a 30-minute drive from Bristol includes an early 17th Century rectory and separate coach house.

The property is located in Compton Martin and oozes history with many traditional features still intact. The Old Rectory has uniquely large stone mullion windows with cast iron panes, large Victorian style stone fireplaces, high ceilings and deep skirtings.

However, the property has been taken into the modern era with underfloor heating, state of the art appliances and hardwiring for internet. And the Coach House across the courtyard is now a cosy three bed house that was restored in 2007.

The owner said: “The property itself provides so many options: we have had family members living in the Coach House, we have used it as our home office, it has been home to a nursery and, most recently, as holiday accommodation, for which it has won awards.”

The house is being sold by the estate agency Peter Greatorex Unique Homes.
