"An attractive Grade II Listed farmhouse currently run used as a holiday let occupying a private position with generous gardens and grounds and within walking distance of this highly sought after village. No onward chain.


This well presented farmhouse is believed to date back to the 17th Century and is well worthy of its Grade II Listed status. Constructed of local stone elevations under a pitched tiled roof, the property enjoys oil fired central heating and briefly comprises an entrance hall which continues through to a kitchen breakfast room, fitted with a range of modern base and wall units with timber work surfaces containing a number integral appliances. French doors lead through to a rear hall where a utility can be found and a ground floor bedroom with en suite. To the front of the house are two generous reception rooms, the dining room has a large inglenook fireplace with quarry tile flooring and a door off leads to a study and shower room. The sitting room enjoys a dual aspect and a log burning stove and a door in a corner gives access to a second flight of stairs to the first floor.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, three of which are doubles with the principal bedroom enjoying an en suite. The remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.

The property is located on the edge of this highly sought after village which lies some 6 miles northwest of the County Town and is positioned within attractive countryside between the Quantock and Brendon Hills. There are numerous local footpaths that provide easy access to the surrounding area and the property is also within walking distance of the village pub The New Inn and an attractive Parish Church. Local facilities are available at Bishops Lydeard about 2 miles away including a mini supermarket, garage services and health centre whilst the County Town is an easy drive some 10 or 15 minutes away by car with a wide range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities can be found. Taunton enjoys excellent communication links to the rest of the UK with M5 interchange Junction 25 and fast rail service to London, Paddington.

The property is approached off a quiet country lane with little passing traffic over a tarmacadam driveway providing parking for several cars. Here access can be gained to a timber carport and workshop and a fence separates the rear gardens which are predominantly lawned. To the side is a paved sun terrace perfect for alfresco dining and summer entertaining and taking full advantage of the rural outlook. The front gardens are of a generous size and are again lawned and contained within mature herbaceous borders interspersed with a number of mature trees. The rear gardens are walled on two sides providing shelter and a high degree of privacy."
