Location

Little Carlton occupies a particularly charming setting in North Street, which is commonly regarded as the most sought after address in this popular village. North Street was known until 1877 as Young Street, after the famous scientist, mathematician and physician, Dr Thomas Young who was born in the street. North Street is within the Milverton Conservation Area, designed to protect its exceptional character. The houses within the street were included in the first tranche of buildings to be listed in the county. The house stands back from the roadway, behind a cobbled pavement and the property has an attractive north south aspect and enjoys delightful views over its walled gardens. Milverton is designated as a Somerset Heritage settlement and offers a thriving community which includes a shop, pub, doctor's surgery, post office, church, primary school and numerous active societies. The country towns of Wellington and Wiveliscombe are also close by and offer further extensive amenities. Set within unspoilt rolling Somerset countryside, Milverton is close to many areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty including the Brendon, Blackdown and Quantock Hills, all providing endless walking and riding opportunities.
