From the other side of the High Street, with part of a terrace of five on the left - all but the central building are listed. At the far end is no 5, High Street https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1268315 , and next to it is the somewhat older number 4 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1268314 . On the right of the road are trees at the edge of the listed Ston Easton Park https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1000128 .

These houses are on the west side of High St in the middle of the village. The A37 goes right through the middle of the village.

These days the house and grounds are a luxurious country hotel and retreat for members. It began in 1544 as the estate of the Hippisley family, who created much of the present structures, including landscaping by Humphry Repton, in the eighteenth century - and held it until 1956. The place then became disused, finally passing into the hands of the Rees-Mogg family. They funded a much-needed refurbishment and opened the hotel in 1982. These wrought iron gates were originally installed on Merstham House in Kent, but came to Somerset in 1981.

At least the phone in Ston Easton looks like it is still in working order (no cash, mind!). It just needs a little more custom.
