Old Farmhouse, Stoke St Michael

Old Farmhouse is a beautifully renovated and extended four bedroom farmhouse with a detached annexe and a large garden approaching almost an acre, tucked away in a small development close to the Somerset village of Stoke St Michael.

About the property:

A beautifully renovated stone property that has been sympathetically extended and finished to a high standard. With exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces, this characterful farmhouse offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a bespoke kitchen with a large Mercury range cooker. Outside there is a large garden and a separate stone-built annexe that has potential to be used as a holiday let/second dwelling; all set in bucolic Somerset countryside on the outskirts of Stoke St Michael.

About the inside:

The welcoming entrance porch has built-in cupboards housing the washing machine and tumble dryer and a separate cloakroom. Terracotta floor tiles extend throughout the ground floor and lead you into the spacious entrance hall with a vaulted ceiling with three large skylights, which floods the space with natural light. Off of the entrance hall is the generous and characterful living/dining room with a large stone inglenook fireplace with a modern woodburner, exposed beams, and a full height curved window built into the original archway and overlooking the front terrace. Glass doors open into the dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully fitted with bespoke painted timber units and a large island. An exposed stone inglenook fireplace house a large Mercury range cooker with induction hob and an Oak door leads outside. A further reception room at the end of the hall would make an ideal study or reading room.

Upstairs, the light filled landing leads to four generously proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The dual aspect principal bedroom has been tastefully decorated with feature panelling and benefits from a luxury en-suite shower room with twin sinks and walk in shower. The family bathroom features a modern freestanding bath and separate shower.

About the outside:

Approached over a newly installed paved driveway shared with the other properties. Double five-bar gates open into a large private gravelled drive and generous parking area. To one side there is a large level lawn of approximately an acre bordering open countryside. To the rear is a low maintenance terrace with a post and rail fence and planted with a laurel hedge.

About the annexe:

A detached stone-built annexe, accessed from the terrace, has the potential to be converted into a further accommodation. There is a modern shower room on the ground floor, and a large room with kitchen units along one wall. Upstairs a fully finished room spanning the full length could be a lovely bedroom.
