Description

AMBLEDOWN, LAMYATT, SOMERSET, BA4 6NP

An impressive and immaculately presented five-bedroom village property with extensive equestrian facilities, set within over 5 acres of beautiful land.

Ambledown offers expansive accommodation, including an entrance hall, sitting room, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, study, utility, boot room, cloakroom, five bedrooms, and three bath/shower rooms.

The property benefits from stunning views, direct access to bridleways and footpaths, and an enviable location close to Bruton & Castle Cary with their excellent respective amenities and schools.

Accommodation
Originally constructed in the late 1980s with stone elevations under a tiled roof, Ambledown has been significantly extended and modernised, creating a wonderfully light and spacious family home.

The property is accessed via an oak front door, leading into a welcoming entrance hall. Off this space lies a dual-aspect study and a beautiful sitting room featuring wooden floors and a Jetmaster fire with marble surround and mantle, providing a comforting focal point.

The highlight of the property is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room—perfect for modern living. The space features a tiled floor, recessed lighting, a cream electric Aga with a separate module, and a central island with a breakfast bar, all set beneath a granite worktop. There are ample painted wall and base units, integrated appliances, and access to a convenient utility room and boot room. Double doors lead out to the rear terrace, offering an ideal spot for alfresco dining while enjoying views of the paddocks.

The first-floor accommodation includes five bedrooms, with the principal suite enjoying a large walk-in wardrobe, garden views, and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, shower cubicle, basin, and WC. A second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside
The house is approached via a five-bar timber gate, opening onto a gravelled driveway with parking for several cars and space for easy manoeuvring of horse boxes or lorries. By the parking area, there is a double carport and bike shed. The front garden is beautifully arranged with roses, vines, and a wonderful blooming wisteria, creating an inviting entrance. To the rear, an enclosed terrace with raised flower borders provides a private spot for outdoor entertaining.
Beyond the garden lies the property's exceptional equestrian facilities. These include a stable block with three stables, secure storage, a hay barn, and a large shed, offering versatility for a range of uses. The flat grazing land is divided into seven paddocks with stock-proof fencing, spring-fed water troughs, field shelters, and two shaded copses. A full-sized riding school with an equestrian rubber chip completes this superb setup.

There is also a home office with light and power.

Beyond the stable block, additional access to the public highway is available. The land holding extends to approximately 5.3 acres in total.

About the area
Lamyatt is a charming and close-knit village, renowned for its community events and picturesque surroundings. The village hall hosts a range of activities, and the annual outdoor Shakespeare production is a notable highlight.

On the outskirts of the nearby town of Castle Cary (10 minutes) is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington, and the A37 just a two minute drive away provides access south to the A303 for London and the Southwest and north to Bristol and Bath. Castle Cary is characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey coloured stone for which the area is well known. It remains a delightful small market town with a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development.

“The Newt in Somerset” just outside Castle Cary is home to beautiful countryside walks set in the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate there are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and house & garden shop.

Bruton, located 2 miles south east, dates back to Roman times and today is a charming small town with various shops and amenities, including the ‘Hauser & Wirth’ Art & Exhibition Gallery, ‘The Roth Bar & Grill’, the Michelin-starred 'Osip', the ever-popular dining experience ‘At The Chapel’, and of course an excellent choice of schools including King's School and Sexey's School.

The area offers an excellent choice of schools, including King’s Bruton, Sexey’s School, and Hazlegrove Prep School, alongside a range of good state and independent options.
