If you've ever dreamed of owning a piece of history, this elegant Georgian home in the centre of Somerton might just be the one for you. On the market with Sandersons in Wells, this Grade II listed property offers four bedrooms, four reception rooms, and enough period charm to make Jane Austen feel right at home.

Originally built in 1742 as a solicitor's office, this house has character in spades. Think high ceilings, wood panelling, original fireplaces, and sash windows that have seen more history than your average museum tour.

And while it does need a bit of TLC, that's all factored into the price—so if you fancy rolling up your sleeves and restoring it to its former glory, this is your chance.

The ground floor has two stunning reception rooms, one of which still has its original Georgian cupboards disguised as panelling (fancy).

The kitchen, complete with flagstone floors, a Rayburn, and a separate pantry, is tucked away on the lower ground floor, alongside an atmospheric dining room in the cellar—perfect for those who like their dinner parties with a side of intrigue.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms offer plenty of space, with one benefiting from an en-suite. The top floor features two charming attic rooms—ideal for guests, storage, or the ultimate secret hideaway.

One of the real highlights of this property is the conservatory, which opens onto a secluded second courtyard. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or planning a future open-plan renovation (subject to planning permission, of course), this space offers a little oasis of calm. There's also potential to create an annexe or Airbnb if you're feeling entrepreneurial.

Outside, the beautifully planted courtyard garden offers privacy, colour, and a quiet retreat from the town centre, while the gated entrance leads to a garage and additional parking.

Somerton itself is a thriving market town packed with independent shops, pubs, and local history. With easy access to the A303, mainline train stations, and a great selection of schools, this home isn't just charming—it's practical too.

If you're ready to bring this historic beauty back to life, it's on the market with Sandersons in Wells, with a guide price of £500,000 - £550,000.
