A spacious and beautifully presented family home that has been extensively refurbished throughout in recent years and offering exceptional flexibility and an abundance of charm. Previously run as a successful B&B, the accommodation comprises five bedrooms, five bathrooms and four reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room and utility, along with a variety of large, very useful outbuildings and a combination of formal gardens and level paddocks, making it ideal for families wishing to keep animals. Approached via a sweeping gravel drive, the main entrance to the property is located to the rear and leads you in via a very well appointed utility room, complete with fitted cream ‘Shaker’ style units with oak work surfaces and space for coats and boots. From here, you are welcomed into the inviting inner hall, which opens into the glazed sun room opposite, a wonderful room to enjoy your morning coffee or midday lunch from, as it provides a lovely outlook over one of the formal gardens, with double doors opening onto the patio area and a further entrance door to the front. The sitting room is a wonderfully bright room and enjoys a triple aspect with pleasant views and benefitting from a bespoke wall length fitted storage and shelving unit, as well as a fitted log burner with an aged timber mantle. The kitchen/breakfast room has been stylishly appointed with a range of light grey wall, base and drawer units, with complementing work surfaces over. The kitchen has been finished with attractive tiled flooring and benefits from a dual aspect. The snug, which provides a cosy retreat, is also dual aspect with a fitted log burner. The side hallway provides a fantastic potential to create a small annex/studio, due to the additional private entrance porch and access into the study/ground floor bedroom with en-suite shower room and offering a brick and timber fireplace, as well as a pleasant outlook over the side garden and secondary driveway.
The first floor accommodation can be accessed via either of two staircases, one being off the main entrance hall and the second from the kitchen. There are three smartly decorated double bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities, which can be located from the main staircase, with bedroom three having wonderful views towards the Mendip Hills. The master bedroom is a generous size and offers ample built in storage, as well as the attractively tiled en-suite shower room. There is a further doorway to the rear of the room with steps that lead down into a dressing room or nursery, which in turn leads onto the secondary landing where the smallest of the bedrooms can be found, along with a further separate bathroom.

OUTSIDE
Approached from the road via a gated entrance over the local millstream, a sweeping gravel driveway opens up into a large parking area, which is set in front of the triple bay car port and garage.

The property offers an incredible amount of space and versatility outside, with a wide variety of outbuildings, including several large storage barns, a workshop, handy sheds and a home office. The grounds total approximately 1.9 acres and have been very well designed and maintained by the current owners and include a level paddock and orchard area, a fantastic array of mature shrubs and plants, well established lawns and hedgerows and several wonderful sunny and covered seating areas, set across several formal garden areas within the grounds, as well as a vegetable garden and chicken coop.
