ACCOMMODATION - Main House

From the entrance hall, there is an adjacent ‘boot room’ entrance lobby with its own outside door. The large reception room is dual aspect enjoying a magnificent view with French doors opening to the paved terrace and a second dual aspect sitting room. Twin, glazed doors lead off the hallway into a generous dual aspect lounge area with exceptional views and a dining area with French doors opening to the paved terrace. The kitchen/ breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of paint effect units and appliances with a dual fuel ‘Smeg’ range style cooker. One of the staircases leads to two generous double bedrooms with a large, jack and jill bathroom ideal as a luxurious master suite. A separate staircase leads to three further double bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms and one with an en-suite shower room. This area of the house benefits from air conditioning.

ANNEXE

The annexe has been designed as an ‘upside down’ house with living rooms on the first floor to take advantage of the glorious views. A large entrance hall leads to the master bedroom suite with French doors opening to a raised decking area and there is a second double bedroom with full en-suite bathroom. Off the first floor landing is a cloakroom, utility room with airing cupboard which houses the gas fired central heating boiler for the annexe. The kitchen/breakfast room is spacious and the dining area has French doors to a balcony enjoying the fabulous views. Finally, there is a large dual aspect sitting room which again enjoys the panoramic views.

OUTSIDE

Approached via a high and secure gated entrance leading into very generous gravelled forecourt, the house is well placed within the 2.2 acres. A first class manège is situated to the front of the property, as are three timber stores (formally stables and a tack room), fully equipped with power and water. There are two, two bedroom mobile homes sited adjacent to the stores both of which are connected to all services. Stock proof fencing divides up the four paddocks one of which has a field shelter, the top level paddock would make an ideal location for stabling. To the south east of the property is a large, level grassed area with outdoor pool and plant room housing the new boiler and filtration equipment. The paddocks and garden enjoy the most magnificent views across the valley towards the Mendips. Timber fencing screens the propane gas storage tank in the formal garden and a small orchard has been fully fenced to keep chickens.
