"Ellie was efficient, professional and helpful. She kept us informed of proceedings. We had our first buyer pull out and Ellie re-sold the property in 3 days which was completed very quickly. Would highly recommend Ellie and Nest Estate Agents."

"James was brilliant from start to finish helping to ensure it was seamless. He turned it around in 10 weeks (3 weeks of that was due to no fault of James’ so could’ve been even quicker!) James was easy to contact, even outside of office hours, very informative and always happy to help. He produced great advertisement, the imagery and videography was outstanding and truly made our property stand out from the rest which sold..."

"Couldn't ask for better! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We approached Kim after struggling to get traction selling our unique cottage and it was beginning to feel like a daunting task, but Kim made it look easy. She is proactive, incredible attention to detail, and has a wonderful way of making you feel like her only client. With previous agents we were continually reiterating details of our property post viewing and losing traction, however Kim always knew the details..."

"We had a fantastic experience with Libby throughout what turned out to be a long and sometimes challenging house moving process. From start to finish, she was consistently professional, proactive, and incredibly supportive. What really stood out was her communication. She kept us fully up to date at every stage, ensuring we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. Whether it was a quick update, a detailed explanation, or simply checking in,..."

"I used Georgina at Nest for the purchase of my property and couldn’t fault her at all. She kept communication open throughout, was easy to get a hold of, booking any viewings was painless, and she was professional and helpful. I’d had previously disappointing interactions with other estate agents as a buyer where they were pushy, didn’t feel like they listened, or just even trying to book a viewing felt like hard work. It was..."

"Matt was absolutely amazing from start to finish for the sale of our home. Communication was at it’s finest which was really important to us leaving zero uncertainty throughout the sale we knew we were in safe hands. Buying/selling houses is known for being a stressful time but I couldn’t have been any easier using Matt, all the stress and things you could possibly worry about just went out the window. Not only will I..."

"Tom was superb to work with from start to finish. His approach to marketing felt modern and proactive, with excellent photography and strong use of social media to properly showcase the property rather than just listing it online and hoping for the best. He was always polite, approachable, and quick to help, making the whole process smooth and straightforward. Tom’s style of communication and way of working was modern, easy and efficient. We genuinely believe..."

"I recently sold my property through Victoria @ Nest Associates and I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received. My sale turned out to be far more complicated than expected, but Victoria handled every obstacle with professionalism, patience, and remarkable skill. Throughout the process, she kept me fully updated, offered clear and calm guidance, and consistently went the extra mile to ensure the sale stayed on track. Her communication was outstanding, and her..."

They really don’t make properties like this anymore. Behind its distinctive, ornate shopfront lies an extraordinary mixed-use property where period character, generous proportions and creative possibility come together in a way that feels completely unique. For many decades, the front of the building has been home to a renowned gallery, giving the property a strong connection to the town’s artistic and independent spirit. Today, it offers an exciting opportunity to continue that story or begin something entirely new. Whether imagined as a gallery, boutique, studio, office or another independent venture, the commercial space provides a wonderful setting from which to work, create and welcome customers, subject to any necessary consents. Step beyond the shopfront and the property continues to surprise. This is not simply a commercial premises with accommodation attached, but a substantial and characterful home in its own right, extending to approximately 2,231 sq ft and filled with details that have been carefully preserved over time. From the moment you enter, there is a real sense of history. High ceilings, original fireplaces, decorative encaustic floor tiles and beautiful stained glass all contribute to the atmosphere, while the handsome staircase forms a striking centrepiece. Character is present in virtually every room, giving the house a warmth and individuality that would be almost impossible to recreate in a modern home. The ground floor provides a series of flexible spaces that flow from the gallery into the private accommodation beyond. The arrangement allows home and business life to sit comfortably alongside one another, while retaining a sense of separation between the two. Equally, the generous layout provides scope to rethink how the rooms are used and adapt the property around changing needs. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, each with its own character and generous proportions. The height of the ceilings and abundance of natural light continue throughout this floor, with period features ensuring that even the more practical spaces retain the distinctive personality found elsewhere in the house. The flexible accommodation provides plenty of room for guests, creative pursuits or working from home without compromising the principal living space downstairs. To the rear, the property opens onto a private walled garden, a particularly welcome discovery in such a central position. It provides space to sit outside, entertain or simply retreat from the bustle of the town, adding another layer to the lifestyle this remarkable property offers. Positioned in the heart of Watchet, the property sits among the town’s independent shops, cafés and creative businesses, with the harbour, marina and coastline just a short walk away. Watchet is known for its strong community and individual character, making this an especially fitting home for a building with such a rich identity of its own. Rarely does a property offer this combination of space, history and possibility. It could be a beautiful family home, an inspiring place from which to run a business, or both, a chance to live and work somewhere genuinely memorable while becoming part of the next chapter in its story.
