A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance porch, which has an inner door through to the main hall. Incorporating the staircase to the first floor accommodation with a storage cupboard beneath, the hall also gives access to a downstairs WC, a study and the utility room. A useful room with a sink unit and plumbing for a washing machine, the utility then continues into an adjoining boot room which houses the boiler for the oil-fired central heating and has a door opening outside.
The sitting room is generous in size and dual-aspect with a stone fireplace and open fire. Double doors from the sitting room then lead out to the veranda.
The kitchen/dining room is centrally located on the ground floor and is also dual-aspect, with windows to the front and rear. Fitted with a range of wooden fronted floor and wall units, the kitchen provides plenty of space for a dining table and chairs and gives access outside (to the front) and internally through to an inner hall. This part of the property offers versatility, offering two ground floor double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A further staircase then rises to the first floor, which is separated into two sections independent of each other (the other accessed from the staircase in the main hall). In this area, a landing with boiler cupboard opens into two double bedrooms, both with skylight windows. The main first floor accommodation then provides two finely-proportioned double bedrooms with a rural outlook, plus an additional bathroom with a shower.

Set within grounds measuring approx. 3.89 acres with a series of timber outbuildings, the property offers potential for a purchaser to utilise in a variety of ways. For many years, the current owner operated a successful equine business from the property. For those seeking a property suitable for keeping horses on site, 25 Ashcott Road offers an enclosed equine track system, an arena, a stable and an open fronted barn, both with adjoining stores. Further outbuildings include a large barn (61 x 102), a workshop and other useful stores.
The grounds comprise extensive surrounding gardens which are predominantly laid to lawn with established tree-lined boundaries. Furthermore, on the north-western side of the property is a separate area of land which is nicely secluded in a peaceful position, enclosed by mature woodland and is a haven for wildlife.
The property is rurally situated between the villages of Meare and Ashcott. As well as a primary school and a farm shop, Meare is also home to a parish church. Ashcott lies in a convenient position on the Polden Hills and much like Meare, is very accessible to Street (Clarks Village), Glastonbury, Wells and the M5 to the west. Village facilities include a primary school (with ‘Good‘ Ofsted rating), two public houses, a church and recreation ground with playground. There is also good state secondary schooling nearby, as well as Millfield, the prestigious independent school in Street.
One of the main selling points of this superb property is the close proximity to RSPB Ham Wall, Shapwick Heath and other nearby nature reserves. The Railway Inn pub is also located just one mile away, further along Station Road. Back to listing
