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.
