Outside & Gardens - Well, where do we start! The whole plot extends to 0.52 acres with the gardens situated to the rear and side of the property. The current owner has gardened organically with a focus on biodiversity and wildlife. There are many unusual trees including a Medlar and Mulberry, shrubs and plants. The rear/top garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature beds and herb borders with cut pathways meandering through a wild section of the garden abundant with mature shrubs, bushes and trees. This western garden has views towards Low Ham and the church in the field - beautiful atmospheric sunsets are enjoyed whilst sitting having your G&T or glass of wine! Together with these far-reaching views the garden enjoys a very high degree of privacy and seclusion. Closer to the house is a paved pathway with gated access to the adjacent lane. Further pathways lead to the second garden section.

From the sitting/kitchen area of the secondary accommodation (part of the main house), there is access to a private garden/courtyard, again with gates leading to the main garden. Adjacent to this is an outside gardeners WC with a delightful stone basin and water tap ideal for washing of the dogs after a long walk.

The main garden is a gardener's paradise with cut pathways meandering to many differing areas including a private seating area overlooking the garden, first of two small ponds with a path/platform leading to another seating area. The lower garden area is the fragment of an old orchard with two mature pear trees abundant with fruit. Sadly an old apple tree was lost last year but has been left for biodiversity. This garden is terraced with lias stone dry stone type walling, excellent for the slow worms and easier to maintain as is the ground cover lessening the need to weed. Interestingly the village has its own very active biodiversity group. There is a gravelled/stone pathway from the parking area leading up to the house together with a vegetable area with raised beds, a potting shed (with electricity supply) with three other sheds, with all areas planted with an array of flowers, shrubs, trees etc with the garden again enjoying near total seclusion and privacy.

There is a stone parking area providing space for 5-6 vehicles and a 5-bar wooden gate leading onto the lane.

At the bottom of the garden, hidden away is THE APPLE PRESS, an old cider barn. This is a detached barn converted in 2022 with aluminium windows and currently provides a good income via Air B&B.
