About this property

The Chantry Extraordinary Grade II Listed Historic Somerset Residence Dating Back To 1316

Hidden quietly within the beautiful Somerset countryside beneath the rolling backdrop of the Quantock Hills, The Chantry represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of English architectural history — a residence whose origins are believed to date back more than seven centuries to 1316. Rich in provenance and historical significance, The Chantry formed part of the distinguished Halswell and Paulet Estates until the nineteenth century, standing today as an extraordinary example of heritage architecture where centuries of craftsmanship, character and authenticity remain beautifully preserved.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Somerset, 2026/27 bills run from £1,707 a year in band A to £5,121 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Somerset, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
