Copperfields has been in the same family ownership for just over 17 years and over time has been extensively re-modelled and meticulously refurbished to create the unique, contemporary home offered today. Stone faced beneath a tiled roof, the focus has been on energy efficiency with ground source heat pump, 4kWatt Photo Voltaic System and exceptional levels of insulation to create a home for the future. All the rooms are well proportioned with many tall windows generating a feeling of light and space throughout and taking full advantage of the far reaching views. The stylish accommodation is presented to a high standard and welcomes you the moment you step inside. A wide entrance hallway leads to all principal ground floor rooms with stunning black basalt flooring, a triple aspect sitting room with impressive stone inglenook and bi-folding doors to the main terrace and a superb kitchen/dining room, also opening to a terrace on either side, with a full range of quality appliances. There is a generous and comfortable study that leads through to the gym/workroom and well equipped utility room. The first floor offers four lovely bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities and three with balconies and french windows, together with a peaceful landing/reading area.

The property occupies a completely private but highly accessible location set below Windwhistle Ridge on the northern edge of the escarpment and enjoying outstanding views towards the Quantocks. Located almost equi-distant between the small market towns of Chard, Ilminster and Crewkerne, there is easy access to a choice of major supermarkets, specialist retailers, and a range of day to day services, educational and leisure facilities, including the ever popular Windwhistle Golf Club. The house also benefits from excellent transport links with an intercity rail service from Crewkerne (London Waterloo) and Taunton (London Paddington), the A303 and M5 both within easy reach and international airports at Bristol and Exeter. The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is some 14 miles to the south at Lyme Regis with its iconic Cobb harbour and boutique shops.

Completely hidden from view, Copperfields is approached from the road over a driveway that slopes down to a wide gravelled parking area in front of the house, with a double carport and garage/machinery shed opposite. A wide paved terrace runs all round the house with a number of raised beds, ornamental trees and shrubs and steps down to an area of mown lawn. The remainder of the grounds are largely informal with gently sloping pasture land screened by mature mixed woodland and copse creating a haven for a wide variety of birds and other wildlife. The whole area is estimated to extend to slightly in excess of 12 acres.
