About the Property.

Dating back to 1834, Clennon House exudes charm from the moment you arrive with its picturesque façade, adorned with mature climbing plants. The attached barn has been thoughtfully incorporated into a generous living area, making the most of the elevated setting and panoramic valley views. With potential for modernisation, this is a rare opportunity to craft a serene country home in a truly idyllic location.

About the Inside.

Accessed via a front porch to the right-hand side, the entrance opens into a welcoming hallway that sets the tone for the home’s generous proportions. A bright and airy dining room flows into a well-appointed kitchen with garden access, ideal for indoor-outdoor living. Glazed double doors lead into an impressive 26’ living room featuring underfloor heating, a striking stone fireplace, and sliding patio doors framing the garden and countryside beyond. The kitchen leads into a separate study, and a versatile ground floor bedroom or additional reception room with a Jack and Jill shower room complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms all enjoy far-reaching views across the landscape. The principal bedroom benefits from a private en-suite WC, while a family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.

About the Outside.

The approach to the house is via an enclosed gravelled driveway sheltered by mature planting including a grand magnolia, camellias, and a vibrant Acer. A detached double garage provides ample storage and secure parking. The rear garden is a highlight, with the lawn bordered by established shrubs and year-round planting. A sun-drenched terrace offers the perfect vantage point to take in uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside, Blagdon Lake, and the charming village church.
