Hare Lane, Broadway, Ilminster, Somerset, TA19

We are delighted and excited to offer this outstanding 4 bed detached family home, sitting within its own generous grounds and gardens, with breath-taking views, well-appointed accommodation, further potential, south-facing gardens, garage, off-road parking and situated in an exclusive position, in the highly favourable village of Broadway.


A rare and incredibly exciting opportunity to acquire this four bedroom detached property situated on a quiet road in one of the most desirable villages in South Somerset with generous grounds, outstanding views and south facing garden. In brief the property comprises an entrance porch, hallway, snug/sitting room, further sitting room, kitchen/dining room, WC, garage and gym to the ground floor with four bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family shower room to the first floor. Hartland House has been lovingly kept by its current owners to provide exceptional and versatile living accommodation and in turn it has provided them with an ideal family home. The snug/sitting room is highly flexible and could be utilised as a study, play room or even a ground floor bedroom depending on one’s needs. The dual aspect sitting room, with attractive brick surround fireplace is a welcoming space to unwind throughout the seasons, particularly in the colder months thanks to the addition of wood-burner. The heart of this home has to be the magnificent, open-plan kitchen/dining room with bespoke kitchen units and views over the garden and countryside beyond. It is an enviable and special setting for entertaining and socialising with the added advantage of double doors giving access directly out to the gardens. Connected to the main house is a large garage and further outbuilding. Although currently used as a gym, store and workshop there is ample scope to create further accommodation or even an annexe, subject to the necessary consents. This will appeal to those looking for multi-generational living, increased living accommodation or perhaps even an income stream. To the first floor are three double bedrooms and a single. The master has the luxury of its own ensuite and built-in wardrobes whilst the remaining three are serviced by the family shower room. Such is the current foot print and outside space, there is also further room for extension (STPP) should one wish. Properties of this calibre in such magical surroundings are few and far between and we would strongly recommend viewing to fully appreciate all it has to offer.

Broadway together with its sister village of Horton form a very active community with facilities which include a Post Office/stores, primary school, doctors surgery, village halls, churches, two popular village inns. To the south west lie the Blackdown Hills designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty providing excellent opportunities for those with country interests. The larger busy market town of Ilminster lies less than three miles to the east, providing a range of facilities fulfilling most day to day needs with a variety of shops including a Tesco store, a medical centre, various churches and schools. The village is well placed for access to the County town of Taunton 10 miles with its comprehensive facilities, including shops, schools within both the state and independent sectors, a theatre, county cricket ground, race course and mainline station (London Paddington), Chard 5 miles, Axminster and Crewkerne with mainline stations (London Waterloo) 9 miles, Yeovil 15 miles and the South Coast 18.

Set within its own generous plot Hartland House is approached via a private, gated driveway giving access to off-road parking for multiple cars as well as access to the garage and side access to the rear garden. The rear garden is a joy to behold and will be the envy of any guest. It has the luxury of facing due south and takes in exceptional views over local farmland and the countryside beyond. It is laid to lawn and further complemented by trees, mature shrubs and colourful flora. The current owners have taken great care to create private and romantic seating areas which further enhance the setting in which Hartland House occupies. It is an idyllic and special space to enjoy with family and friends.
