Property description

A fantastic opportunity to purchase this substantial 4/5 double bedroom property near the centre of Langport. The house backs onto acres of open moorland with private access from the end of the cul-de-sac and is also within easy walking distance of the town centre and local shops. Pococks House was formally a coal merchants’ serving the local area and still retains the original Samuel Withers & Co safe (working) mounted in the wall within the office. Constructed of Blue Lias; the property is full of character with dado rails, exposed beams, flagstones and cobblestones.  

Measuring approximately 1600 sq ft Pococks House also boasts gas central heating, secondary glazing, 3 reception rooms, an 18ft kitchen breakfast room, a workshop, courtyard garden and off road parking for up to 4 cars. The property has also had planning permission to convert into 2 separate dwellings in the past and has retail / commercial potential having formally had a shop accessible via the opening onto Bow Street from reception room 2.

This truly is a spectacular amount of property for the money packed with period features and history with so much potential. Viewing is an absolute must to appreciate the size and versatility of the accommodation space along with the potential the property presents.
