An exceptional historic house of early Georgian origin with elegant accommodation, beautiful gardens, and a peaceful village setting within easy reach of Street, Glastonbury, the M5 and Bristol.
Owned within the same family for almost 400 years, Cossington Park is a remarkable home of immense character and charm. With origins dating back to the 17th century, this fine country house offers over 5,000 sq. ft. of accommodation, including three principal reception rooms, a conservatory, six bedrooms and five bath/shower rooms – four of which are en suite.
A range of domestic offices complements the living spaces, and the property is enhanced by delightful, landscaped gardens.
In addition, a paddock orchard, and a collection of substantial stone outbuildings – all adjacent - are available by negotiation.
THE HOUSE
Cossington Park exudes the spirit of the English country house – graceful, romantic and deeply comfortable. It is approached via a cobbled drive between high stone walls and through double timber gates, opening to a courtyard framed by outbuildings and high garden walls. A pathway leads through the garden to the south-facing façade of this handsome period home.
The house has evolved over centuries, combining historical architecture with modern comforts including a biomass central heating system and numerous bathrooms. Though grand in scale, the atmosphere remains warm, inviting, and perfectly suited to both entertaining and family life.
The principal reception rooms are arranged off the inner halls, all enjoying an abundance of natural light and wonderful views over the gardens. The drawing room is especially charming, with ceiling beams, an inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, a bay window, and French doors opening to the gardens. An adjacent conservatory extends this living space with glorious garden views.
The sitting room mirrors these features with exposed beams and a wide bay window, while the splendid dining room features herringbone parquet flooring, tall bookshelves, a fireplace with stove, and another elegant bay window.
The kitchen retains its historic heart with a tile...
