Number 8 Longmeadow is the last property to be completed and
sits comfortably within this superb development. It is built using
conservation stone roof slates and sits behind a stone wall with
gated entrance. It backs onto open fields with a westerly aspect
and with far-reaching views visible from the hall as you enter. The
house is laid out over three floors and has an oak staircase rising
to the first floor galleried landing and a superb specification
with the involvement of interior designers providing a bespoke
finish throughout.
Designed to provide maximise light, the kitchen has two walls of
floor to ceiling glazed doors meeting at a corner apex. This floods
the large, open plan space with light and brings the outside in. It
also has a separate living room and spacious sitting room for easy
entertaining together with a studyTV room and 6 bedrooms. The
elegantly and cleverly designed landscaped garden is laid out in
three separate areas and extends towards the neighbouring field for
an expansive, open feel but at the same time with a degree of
privacy.
A viewing is strongly recommended by the sole agents Cobb
Farr.
Somerset is a popular county with a huge amount to offer.
Beckington itself is a lively village, perfectly placed for access
to the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath, as well as Frome and
Bruton, Somerset towns that regularly feature in The Times Best
Places to Live Guide. All offer a wealth of restaurants, cafes and
bars, as well as galleries, theatre, museums, cinemas and cultural
events. Babington House, the well-known Soho House private members’
country club, is a short drive away.
Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), there
are endless views to enjoy and walks to explore. Orchardleigh Golf
course is nearby, as are a number of outdoor pursuit centres.
Stourhead Gardens, The Newt in Somerset, Hauser & Wirth and
Longleat are all a pleasant trip through the lanes.
Well positioned for both state and independent schooling, there
are a wealth of options. Beckington Primary is popular, while
Springmead in Beckington offers a private junior school alternative
with other nearby options including All Hallows, The Paragon and
King Edward’s Independent Preparatory Schools.
Writhlington School and Frome College are nearby state
secondaries, as are Bath’s Hayesfield for Girls, Beechen Cliff For
Boys and Ralph Allen. There are a wealth of independent day and
