Bedroom Two: Accessed through a separating door to create an enclosed space which features the large bedroom, dressing area and full sized shower room.
Bedroom Three: Another double with dual aspect windows and ensuite shower room.
Airing Cupboard: Set to the edge of the landing this is a great storage area and houses the hot water tanks.

Annexe

A great addition if you are looking for a home that can work for several generations of family. With private front entrance opening to the spacious kitchenette. This entire space is set over 1 floor and offers a large double bedroom and a very spacious and accessible shower room. To the rear there is an internal door opening to the laundry room which in turn then opens to the main house. This set up works in that it provides a personal space, distanced from the main house with even you own terrace area or you can join with the main family group if and when it suits.

Gardens

The rear garden can be accessed with vehicles from the driveway through a set of double gates which lead to the main garden area which is fenced.
The lawned area is wider than the house itself and offers a nice sunny outlook on a primarily Southern aspect.

Planning

Initially this was a 2.5 acre plot, with the current planning application this will reduce the size of the current plot to allow the current owners to put in place their plans to create a single level, eco home in the lower garden on the Western boundary which will not impact the current house or views as access for this property will be from an existing road. We are currently awaiting the plans to be released on the Somerset Planning Portal, however, we shall have on file in the meantime drawings and plans for your perusal.
