Description

"Orchard House is a delightful detached period former farmhouse believed to date from the 18th Century which whilst not listed boasts many original features which have been retained and enhanced during a sympathetic programme of renovation and refurbishment which has been carried out in recent years. The quality of the accommodation is sure to impress all who view and it has the advantage of being available with no upward sales chain.

Internally the property is approached through an entrance hall leading to an elegant 29ft drawing room at the rear of the property opening directly onto the garden. In addition there is a study, library and a large live in kitchen dining room which runs the full width of the property and is furnished with a range of bespoke fitted units. A useful utility room and downstairs shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is approached by two staircases, one from the entrance hall and the other from the kitchen, and has a versatile layout with up to six bedrooms and two bathrooms allowing the opportunity to use two of the bedrooms and bathroom as a principal suite if required.

On the outside, the gardens and grounds of the property are a delight, level and beautifully landscaped extending in total to approximately 0.65 acres of formal garden, kitchen garden and a more natural area including a small orchard, all adjoining open countryside. There is ample off street parking, a detached stone built garage and store and a timber framed garage.

Parbrook and neighbouring West Bradley are extremely popular village locations within beautiful unspoilt Somerset countryside with a very rural feel with limited passing traffic but accessible to Glastonbury and Castle Cary which has a mainline railway station . The villages of West Pennard, Butleigh, Ditcheat and Pilton are close by as is the Town of Shepton Mallet and the City of Wells, between them they offer a good range of amenities including primary and secondary schooling, local shops, pubs and restaurants and an active community. The A303 is 10 miles south, whilst Bristol and Bath are within commuting distance and less than 30 miles away. There are very good state schools and independent schools close by including Strode, Millfield, Wells Cathedral, All Hallows and the Sherborne and Bruton Schools.

In all a fine opportunity to purchase a beautiful country house in a delightful location.
