Description

A stunning newly built 5 bedroom Family House set in a plot of approximately 0.75 acre with outstanding country views and forming part of a small select village development on the Somerset/Devon/Dorset border.

Abbey House forms part of an exclusive residential development centred around the ancient homestead of Manor Farm at the heart of this small South Somerset village. Built with mellow natural stone and brick detail, partly cedar clad, under a slate roof, the property will enjoy all the advantages of 21st century living with exceptional insulation, underfloor heating to the ground floor, powered by an air source heat pump and high quality double glazing. The accommodation is particularly well proportioned and exceptionally light and airy throughout, with a lovely south facing aspect and long range country views. Briefly this comprises a fabulous vaulted entrance hallway, sitting room with bi-folding doors into the garden, office/bedroom 5 with en-suite, a superb kitchen/dining/family room with granite worktops, quality integrated appliances and, bi-folding doors to the garden terrace with stunning views, separate utility and cloakroom. An oak staircase rises to the galleried landing with impressive oak timbers and doors to all bedrooms leading off. The master suite is quite exceptional with outstanding views over the surrounding countryside, bi-folding doors to an enclosed balcony and generous shower room.
The second bedroom also benefits from en-suite facilities whilst bedrooms three and four are equally generous and share the family bathroom, both with the Juliet balconies and far reaching views.

The property benefits from a structural warranty.

The property occupies an accessible and central position within the small south Somerset village of Forton, close to the border with Devon and Dorset, surrounded by glorious unspoilt countryside and enjoying far reaching views. Although less than 2 miles from Chard this is a thriving close knit community with a variety of village activities. Chard itself offers a choice of major supermarkets, smaller retailers, banks, educational and leisure facilities whilst the county town of Taunton is just 16 miles to the north. The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 15 miles to the south at Lyme Regis and other nearby places of interest include the historic house of Forde Abbey and National Trust lands at Lamberts Castle. There are good road and rail communications with access to the M5 at Taunton (J25). Main line rail links to London Waterloo are available from Axminster, with links to London
Paddington available at Taunton. Access to the A303 at Ilminster provides an easy link to London and the south east with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.

The property is approached from the public highway via a gravelled driveway and visitor parking area that serves the whole development. There is parking to the front of the house and a substantial car port to the side allowing access to the rear garden. Extending to an estimated 0.75 Acres, there is a wide paved terrace and lawn and, beyond this, a large uncultivated paddock providing a blank canvas for purchasers to develop their own ideas.
