Description
Built in 1888, this former cart house has been recently renovated and extended into an outstanding home in an Arts & Craft style. The property is conveniently set back behind Bruton High Street close to local amenities. You are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall with limestone flooring full of fossil detail which extends throughout the ground floor. To your left there is a spacious snug/fourth bedroom with a number of potential uses including a home office. The kitchen has been fitted with an excellent range of shaker style units with integrated appliances and silestone quartz work surface. The living room is a particular feature having been extended with a double sided wood burner as its centrepiece. French doors open to a delightful sunny aspect terrace enjoying views over the town, Dovecote and distant countryside. Moving upstairs, there is a family bathroom and three bedrooms with the master bedroom being of a generous size.
The rear garden is divided into two sections, one part being lawn and flower beds the other being laid out with fruit trees and vegetables. There is a potting shed, workshop and log store, all newly built. Artifacts found in the garden indicate people have been living here since Roman times.
The house comes with 1.7 acres of agricultural land situated just a short stroll from the property. It is difficult to imagine a more idyllic setting to spend time with family and friends enjoying the ducks paddling in the large mill pond, and strolling through the orchard with over eighty trees, mainly traditional Somerset cider and dessert apples including varieties such as Slack-ma-Girdle, Fair Maid of Taunton and Beauty of Bath. Areas of the land have been set aside for wildlife and all the land has been chemical/pesticide free for over eleven years. A large corrugated iron Nissen Hut (42' x 24') reportedly de-commissioned from Salisbury Plain after WWII has been extensively renovated. The space is light and airy, currently used for storage and as a workshop, and could be adapted for a variety of uses. It has in the past housed animals. There is parking just before the Nissen hut on the right.
The Old Mill Pond was used for duck keeping, but has for the past ten years been dedicated to nature, with resident wild ducks and moor hens. There is flowing water through the pond from Coombe Brook.
