There is a hatch through to the adjacent breakfast room which in turn leads to the rear garden, grounds and lake.
Upstairs the principal bedroom suite is very spacious. (A 6th bedroom was previously knocked through to create the extra space and the original door to the landing remains). The en suite has a WC, bidet, walk-in shower and vanity unit with basin. There are four further double bedrooms, all with good storage and with lovely rural views towards the Mendip Hills. These are serviced by a modern style family bathroom with bath with shower over, and WC.

There are raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse for the green-fingered as well as a patio for outdoor dining. Beyond a gate at the bottom of the garden lies a paddock (approx. 1.36 acres) and which is suitable for keeping horses. This can also be accessed off Henmore Lane.
