Location:

Great Bow Wharf occupies an attractive riverside position on Bow Street in the historic Somerset market town of Langport on the eastern bank of the River Parrett. The property is in a particularly attractive setting overlooking the river, yet within easy walking distance of the town centre and its range of independent shops, cafes and amenities.

Langport is an historic and characterful town situated at the heart of the Somerset Levels with a population of approximately 3,600. The town has a long association with the River Parrett and its historic trade which took place at Great Bow Wharf forms part of this heritage.

Langport’s town centre is particularly attractive: it has a range of historic buildings, independent businesses and open green spaces while the surrounding Somerset Levels provide a popular area for walking and other outdoor activities.

Langport has good road connections via the A378 providing access to Taunton and Yeovil, whilst the A303 is accessible via the A372. The surrounding towns and villages provide a wider catchment for the businesses operating from Great Bow Wharf, and Langport’s riverside setting and attractive town centre also draw visitors to the area.
