Once belonging to the Abbey of Glastonbury just before the Norman Conquest, this remarkable property is a former Manor House presented as an end of terrace over three stories and featuring six bedrooms. To the downstairs accommodation; an impressive entrance area, living room with dual aspect, sitting room, study, dining hall, garden room, kitchen, utility and cellar room. The baronial hall was built in the late 15th and early 16th Century which is still evident today with the oak beamed and panelled roof with its carved figures. A spiral staircase ascends to the second floor leading to the first three bedrooms, a shower room, bathroom. The upper floor houses the final three bedrooms and a second spiral staircase continues to rise to the top of the turret and flat roof area.

Hutton Court welcomes you with a prestigious entrance with metal gates and stone pillars as you make your way onto the hedge lined driveway. There is a gravelled area which provides ample off street parking. With the gardens mainly laid to lawn, there is a fantastic display of mature trees, shrubs and hedging along with a dilapidated stone structure that provides an exciting opportunity to develop further. A track leads to a level area with a timber barn and useful workshop storage. Further stables and land complete the outside.

The home exudes an abundance of character throughout, with beam features, open fireplaces adorned with stone surrounds, parquet flooring and vaulted ceilings soaring overhead. Its architectural evidence suggests origins dating back to the late 15th century, with the earliest documented reference tracing back to 1529.
