Description
Formerly a pair of cottages, this very unique country property dates from the early 20th Century and has been sympathetically remodelled in recent times to create an outstanding and versatile character property. Traditionally built with rendered elevations set beneath a tiled roof, the beautifully presented accommodation offers everything you would expect from a family home in the country. The main entrance hallway opens to a galleried landing above and gives access to the main drawing room with attractive fireplace, access to the garden terrace and double doors back to the kitchen/dining/family room. This really is the heart of the house and features a superb hand crafted kitchen with Aga, dining area with roof lantern and bi-folding doors to the terrace and a cosy snug area with wood burner in stone surround. The ground floor is completed by an office, cloakroom, boot room and laundry room.
The entire house is flooded with light and a galleried landing at first floor level gives access to all bedrooms. the master suite is quite exceptional with a double aspect and bi-fold doors to a 'juliet' balcony, dressing area and luxury bathroom. The main guest suite is equally impressive with a superb shower room and bespoke integrated furniture. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation in the main house.
On the far side of the driveway, is a purpose built coach house providing twin garaging and a store room with an external staircase to a self contained guest annexe above, this offers a welcoming kitchen/living area full of light and character and a double bedroom with en-suite shower.
Oxenford is a pretty hamlet within the parish of Dowlish Wake, tucked away from main roads in a hidden and beautiful part of the South Somerset with open farmland surrounding. The nearest town is Ilminster, centred on its fine Minster and Market Place with many interesting traditional shops and supermarket, together with many clubs and amateur dramatics. Other main towns in the area include Chard, Yeovil and Taunton all of which have a good range of facilities. Communications to the area are excellent. The A303 is now a dual carriageway most of the way to London and provides fast access to the east. Exeter is under an hour away to the west, and junction 25 of the M5 is about 10 miles north of Ilminster. There are mainline railway stations at Taunton (12 miles - Paddington connection) and Crewkerne (7 miles - Waterloo connection). South coast at Lyme Regis 18 miles.
The garden and grounds form the perfect setting for this very special property, extending in total to an estimated 2.5 Acres with a seamless blend of formal and informal. Immediately adjacent to the house is a sheltered South facing terrace and outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and peaceful outlook across the lawn and surrounding countryside. There is a fabulous organic kitchen garden with neat vegetable and flower beds and a productive polytunnel. In addition there are two neat and fully enclosed pasture paddocks and the whole area extends to 2.5 Acres.
Note: A public footpath crosses the paddock.
There is also full planning for change of use of land to a glamping site incorporating two 2-person cabin units with parking and turning.
