Outside

Outbuildings: To the front is an L-shape stone outbuilding, currently used as stabling, storage and a workshop. This has planning permission to create an annexe, great for guests or those wishing to work from home. There are a series of additional outbuildings around the house that offer extensive log and machinery storage.



Garden: Located along a country lane, the driveway leads to the front of the house and the parking area which are set back off the road. There is a separate track leading down to the stables where there is ample parking for horseboxes and trailers. The pretty front garden leads round to an enclosed side garden providing a pleasant aspect from the sitting room. The principal garden has an open aspect across the orchard, barbecue area with a view over the land and neighbouring paddocks. With bi-fold doors opening from the open plan kitchen, this area is perfect for relaxing and entertaining.



Stable Yard and Paddocks: The land covers approximately 19 acres with fenced paddocks as well as a wooded dell and fields for hay. The yard is nestled in a private and secluded position and benefits from a driveway leading to the parking area which provides ample turning space for both horse boxes and trailers. The access track continues down to the stable yard, school and then onto the fields beyond. The stable block is a well-constructed American barn. There are large double doors to the side which open directly onto an enclosed concrete yard, an ideal secure area for tying up and wash downs. The barn offers 11 large boxes with block partitions, a large tack room with a further secure room and storage space upstairs. Adjacent is an all-weather school, enclosed by post and rail fencing. This flood lit school measures approximately 20m x 40m and has a sand and rubber surface. Just behind the stable block is a useful large pole-built hay barn. The land is well cared for with wonderful views over the Somerset countryside and there are some lovely, sheltered paddocks, surrounded by mature mixed woodland, together with some more open paddocks that have been cut for hay and also used for grazing. Throughout the site there are tracks with a solid base meaning that access to all the grazing and the hay barn is straight forward all year round. There are a couple of wooded areas that consist of mixed deciduous trees and are a haven for wildlife.
