DESCRIPTION
Valley House

An enchanting period home in a secluded riverside setting, rich in character and natural beauty

Overview

Nestled along a quiet country lane, Valley House is a truly exceptional property combining historic charm with modern comfort. Believed to date back to the 17th century and sympathetically extended in the mid-1990s, the home enjoys a private, rural setting with easy access to nearby amenities. The double-fronted façade overlooks the river, while the property itself sits behind a gated entrance and a reinforced, double-skinned stone retaining wall. There are four off-road parking spaces and several outdoor storage sheds. Foundations are in place for a substantial rear extension, with previously approved (now lapsed) planning permission.

Ground Floor 
A classic stable door beneath a slate-tiled portico opens into a spacious entrance hall and boot room. Glazed double doors lead to a generous utility room with ample storage. The kitchen is a beautifully designed blend of rustic charm and modern functionality, featuring a striking stone fireplace, industrial-style lighting, bespoke oak-framed cabinetry with elm doors, and slate worktops. A British-made Esse stove adds warmth and character, complemented by a granite-set Belfast sink and induction hob. A second stable door opens to the garden, while a glazed door leads to the sitting room, flooded with light from dual-aspect windows framing views of the lawn, brook, and surrounding woodland. Hard-wearing quarry tiles run through the kitchen, utility, and entrance, and there is space for a large farmhouse-style dining table.

First Floor 
Upstairs, three well-proportioned rooms each feature their own fireplace-one showcasing intricate herringbone brickwork. Two are arranged as bedrooms, both with high ceilings and sash windows, one enjoying a unique round window. The third room, currently used as an office/music room, includes built-in cupboards, a skylight, and casement windows. It also houses the water tank but could easily serve as a double bedroom. A spacious family bathroom completes this floor, featuring a French roll-top bath and a stunning roof lantern that floods the space with natural light.

Second Floor 
The top level offers a versatile room, currently used as an art studio, that could function as a study, nursery, or dressing room. A small shower room with skylights adds convenience. Beyond lies the impressively spacious principal bedroom, offering glorious river views, a high vaulted ceiling, a charming fireplace, and built-in wardrobes with ecclesiastical detailing. A salvaged stained-glass window adds a final flourish to the room's entrance.

Grounds & Gardens 
The gardens are as captivating as the home itself. Thoughtfully landscaped areas to the front and side include several seating areas, and a magical riverside terrace sits within the ruins of a former cottage. A brook runs along the front of the property, complete with a small bridge and private fishing rights-the current owner's daughter famously caught 47 American crayfish here. The setting is rich with wildlife, from otters and kingfishers to owls, creating a dreamlike atmosphere of peace and seclusion. Idyllic riverside walks lead to the picturesque villages of Nunney and Mells.
