About this property
This charming little annexe sits within the owner’s grounds in the Somerset village of Tatworth, close to the borders with Dorset and Devon. Wreath Green Annexe has been renovated to a lovely standard to provide a base for couples or a family of four looking for a relaxing break to Somerset. The sitting room will welcome your return after a day of exploring, finished with a plush L-shaped sofa and exposed beamed ceiling, creating a lovely space to relax. Move into the kitchen for preparing home-cooked meals, offering an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and even a dishwasher, so you won’t have to worry about washing up!
As the evening draws to a close, retire to the king-size bedroom or twin bedroom where you can wrap yourself under the duvets and begin dreaming about the next adventure. Wake up to a refreshing shower before venturing outside and to hear the morning call of the birds, relaxing at the patio furniture in the process. Locally, there are plenty of scenic walks to explore. Further afield is the traditional country pub, The Lord Poulett Arms, beautifully-decorated with a rustic thatched roof, providing an exceptional dining experience. If you'd prefer to prepare your meals in the comfort of your holiday home, the nearby town of Chard offers a plethora of choice for picking up some tasty ingredients, including a charming family-run butchers alongside a number of supermarkets.
Within easy reach of this inviting abode there are several historic houses and well-tended gardens to visit, including Barrington Court, Forde Abbey and Montecute House, each providing a lovely afternoon of exploring. Alternatively, take the scenic drive to the town of Axminster, filled with traditional charm and character, where you can indulge in a spot of luxurious dining at The Tytherleigh Arms, and if you time it right, you might catch the weekly market held every Thursday, before continuing to the Jurassic coast, where a plethora of attractions and adventure await. Here you can visit the seaside resort of Lyme Regis, boasting a historic harbour and a variety of beaches to suit everyone’s tastes, along with many literacy connections to Jane Austin, Beatrix Potter and Oscar Wilde.
Further along the coastline you can discover the destinations of Bridport, home to a quaint market held twice-weekly, Charmouth, Exmouth and West Bay. A sumptuous base for a family retreat, whatever time of year.
The Somerset village of Tatworth, sometimes known as South Chard, is a lovely base for a holiday, with easy access to the borders of both Devon and Dorset. The surrounding area is filled with outstanding natural beauty, providing a plethora of walking, cycling and hiking routes, or you could travel down to Devon and amble along the South West Coast Path.

Kitchen small but well equipped. Walk in shower in bathroom very good for access and water always hot. Plenty of storage space. Good offroad parking.

Although the shower room was lovely, the shower was intermittent and not very hot, with no storage for toiletries, so they were all on the floor, which wasn't ideal. The crockery wasn't very plentiful for the three of us and neither was the cutlery, which was old, so we had to use the dishwasher twice a day - no dishwasher tablets supplied! Some cushions on the sofa would have made it more comfortable as well.
