THE FORD, HORNBLOTTON GREEN LANE, LOVINGTON, BA7 7PS

An impressive four bedroom detached home set within an acre of beautiful grounds, with a one bedroom annexe.

The Ford occupies an idyllic riverside spot, and enjoys extended accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen dining living room, utility, cloakroom, four bedrooms, one en suite, and a family bathroom.

Outside there are stunning gardens and grounds alongside the river, a garage and ample parking.

Accommodation
This exceptional four bedroom detached house is situated on the fringes of the village of Lovington. Dating to the 17th century, it has been sensitively reimagined by its current owners, who have increased the plan to over 2,100 sq ft as well as adding triple glazing, rewiring, re plumbing and replacing the roof. There is also a separate annexe, named The Garden Room by its current owners, which is kept warm by a log burner and has atmospheric views across the River Brue.

Surrounded by an acre of mature woodland, the house is 10 minutes from Castle Cary and under an hour from Frome and Bath. The house sits at the end of a gravelled driveway, a wonderfully secluded position that emphasises its a rural charm.

Entry is to a large hallway grounded by oak floorboards; this leads to the oldest part of the house, which has been configured as a living room. A Bath stone fireplace here fosters a cosy ambiance which is added to by the original exposed beams overhead.

The generous kitchen, on the other hand, is an arrestingly modern space that lies on the opposite side of the house. An invigorating pink palette livens up the walls and contrasts with sleek quartz worktops and seamless cabinets. The south facing wall is given over entirely to large, glazed sliding doors which open to connect with the garden terrace. Underfloor heating runs beneath the green slate tile flooring and there is plenty of space for a generous dining table as well as additional seating and storage.

There is also a WC on this floor and a separate utility and boot room, as well as a walk in pantry.

Stairs ascend to the first floor, where the main bedroom basks in south facing light. It has a brilliant walk in wardrobe as well as an en suite with a freestanding bath. There are three additional bedrooms on this floor, as well as a study area and a modern bathroom.

Wholly independent from the house, the annexe lies in the garden. It has a mono pitched roof and a wall of glazing that faces onto the trees and garden beyond, as well as a wood burner for the colder months.

Outside
Mature trees surround the house, providing a secluded retreat to enjoy the seasons. A seating area has been created to sit and enjoy the view of the water and the verdant greenery, and two saddle stones lead down to the river.

There is a terrace area off the kitchen for outdoor dining in the warmer months, which overlooks an expansive lawn secured by attractive estate fencing. Some areas of the garden have been left to flourish and are filled with wildflowers and a diverse array of wildlife.

In total, the gardens and grounds amount to around an acre.
