Situation

This beautiful former farmhouse nestles in a very quiet lane in the hamlet of Overleigh (on the edge of Street) in a semi-rural position adjoining its own paddock to the north and neighbouring orchards/paddocks to the south, views to Glastonbury Tor and enjoys an unusual position being very private yet within walking distance of the town and amenities.

Street, a small town of Roman origins, offers a comprehensive range of day-to-day amenities including shops, supermarkets, restaurants, a bank and of course the Clarks Village outlet. It is also the home of Millfield School (but a stone's throw away). Slightly further afield is the medieval town of Glastonbury, steeped in history with its diverse array of shops and home to the world famous music festival and Glastonbury Tor.

Just 5 miles from Glastonbury is Wells, which is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). Its centre is the marketplace (local markets twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings, including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace.

The region is renowned for its schools, both state and private, with Millfield at Street, Wells Cathedral School, The Taunton and Bath schools, King's Bruton, All Hallows and Downside all close by.

Convenient transport links nearby include the A303, providing access to the South West and London via the M3. The M5 provides access to both Exeter, Bristol and beyond. Bristol and Exeter international airports are accessible by car. For those preferring rail travel, the mainline train service to London Paddington is approximately 1hr 45 minutes and can be accessed via Castle Cary train station, about 13 miles away.
