The Old House is a very old established property in the village and has strong historical links with the poets.We have updated the property whilst keeping the character intact. The property still has a lot of the original features and is listed. The Old House has a historical connection with well known English poets from the Romantic era.
My wife and retired from careers in education in 2006 and did not want a sedentary lifestyle so we found this new venture to keep us busy. My wife is a keen gardener and loves to send time maintaining and developing our acre of walled garden.
Nether Stowey is a delightful village with loads of character. The brook runs down the main streets and adds to its charm. We have 3 pubs. The village is the starting point of the Coleridge Way and other delightful walks and popular attractions.
