Park Head
What makes Park Head special?
This truly unique property is a peaceful retreat set deep in the Halswell
estate and enjoys fine views over open countryside. A truly peaceful location
makes Park Head popular with both families or those wanting a getaway-from-it-all
weekend. On any day of the year you may fling open a window and listen to
the sounds of nature all around you. Bird song is very much in evidence and
during the evening the gentle bleating of sheep grazing on the parkland pasture
could almost transport you back to the mid-eighteenth century rather than
keep you in the twenty-first! No car noise, no neighbours, just peace and
quiet.
The building was originally designed as the estate forge in the late 1750s
and is called Park Head quite simply because it is positioned at the entrance
to the parkland which surrounds Halswell.
Now a comfortable and stylish home from home Park Head is ideally suited to
families with children with its multi-levelled lawns sub-dividing the garden
into a series of play areas should the need arise. The level terraced area
outside the formal dining room is perfect for alfresco dining and from here
you may glimpse the layout of the garden with its adherence to a clever planting
scheme allowing for colour throughout much of the year.
How to get there
Park Head is easily accessed from exit 24 of the M5, which is 6 miles (10km)
away, and there are great walks in the Quantock Hills from the front door
of the property. Bridgwater is the local town (home of carnival) and the large
village of North Petherton is a short drive down the country lanes should
you need a post office or that extra pint of milk in a hurry!
What is nearby?
The famous gardens of Hestercombe
are only a few miles away, so too is
Dunster Castle, and the sacred site of Glastonbury
Abbey is only 15 (25km) miles east. A number of regional attractions have
special events so please click on SEE AND DO to find out more.
Special Note: From late November 2007 the renovation of Park Head
1 will be complete - boasting 7 bedrooms and an indoor pool - there ia already
much interest so early bookings recommended, those placed before the completion
