Priory House is located within the heart of this historic and mystical town, opposite Glastonbury Abbey and its grounds and close to the Tor and Chalice Well.

Beside this room is a downstairs WC with a wash hand basin, and access to the rear hallway which has a traditional staircase to the first floor (with additional storage beneath) and a door to the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen/dining room is located at the rear of the property and is dual-aspect, benefitting from plenty of natural light. Generous in size with plenty of room for a table and chairs, the kitchen is perfect for families and those who enjoy entertaining. Tastefully fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units, the kitchen includes hardwood worksurfaces plus an integrated washing machine, oven, hob, extractor fan and a dishwasher. Adjoining the kitchen is a delightful and sunny garden room, looking out over the garden. Providing a further space for seating, the garden room has a glass roof and French doors opening outside.

On the first floor is the sitting room, a fine reception room with proportions typical of the period and two magnificent sash windows to the front affording views of Glastonbury Abbey. To one wall, bespoke bookshelves and cupboards are fitted from floor to ceiling (complete with ladder) providing a superb feature of this fabulous space.
