This striking farmhouse is believed to date back to the 16th century and enjoys generous proportions and a wealth of character, in particular a beautiful ceiling plaster to the master bedroom. The property is of rendered stone elevation under a pitch tiled roof and enjoys oil fired central heating throughout. The accommodation in brief comprises a large entrance hall with Victorian tiled flooring and stairs rising to the first floor. To the side is a kitchen which flows into a dining room with former Inglenook fireplace. To the rear is a WC and utility and to the other side of the hall are two impressive reception rooms enjoying a southerly aspect and views over the gardens. On the first floor is a spacious landing and WC along with four double bedrooms and a modern well equipped family bathroom. The house would now benefit from modernisation but has potential to create a fantastic family house.
Outside is parking for several vehicles, a tennis court and predominantly lawned gardens extending in all to about 3.11 acres. In addition to the farmhouse is a stone barn together with a range of modern agricultural buildings and land which is available by separate negotiation.
The property is set back from the public highway and occupies a rural location at the end of a long private drive. From the rear gardens, fabulous far reaching views can be enjoyed towards the Quantock Hills which lie to the east, and are designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where many footpaths and bridleways can be enjoyed. The village lies some 2 miles to the west of Bridgwater and local amenities can be found at nearby Cannington, which hosts a number of local pubs, butchers, post office, garage to name but a few. The county town of Taunton is approximately 11 miles to the south west and can be reached over the hills. Bridgwater itself is a thriving town, with a good range of day-to-day amenities including secondary schooling as well as excellent road communications via the A38 and two junctions of the M5 motorway. The town also has a mainline train station and a direct line can be found from Taunton to London Paddington. Many rural pursuits can be enjoyed in the nearby countryside including fishing at Hawkridge Reservoir, sailing at Durleigh and golf at Enmore golf club. The area is renowned for public schooling with Kings Taunton and Queens being located in the county town and Brymore School more locally.
The property is approached off Blackmore Lane over a long private driveway which is shared at first and then leads through a five barred gate to the front of the house where there is parking for several vehicles. The gardens to the front are predominantly lawned with herbaceous borders and a mature tree line provides privacy to the East. Further afield is a stone Wagon House (3.4m x 5.7m) and a large lawned garden contained within post and rail fencing together with the remains of a pretty stone wall where at the end is a tarmacadam tennis court. The primary gardens lie to the rear of the house and enjoy a westerly aspect and again are predominantly lawned with a attractive wildlife pond and small orchard at the far end. In all the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 3.11 acres. Back to listing
