4 bed detached somerset farmhouse

A charming, detached 17th century country home with substantial mature gardens, driveway parking, studio and garage nestled in the heart of Claverham with easy access to Bristol and beyond.

West View House is a delightful, traditional detached farmhouse, built in the style of a Somerset longhouse and believed to date back to the 1700s. Featuring cream-washed stone elevations and contrasting clay roof tiles, the property sits centrally within a lovely garden. Extended over the years, it now offers spacious family accommodation with 3–4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 3 inviting reception rooms that reflect the character of the period. Charming features include beamed ceilings, recessed windows with seating, latched wooden doors, and inviting fireplaces.

A welcoming front door opens to an entrance porch, leading directly into a very spacious sitting room. This delightful space has a beamed ceiling, deep recessed windows with window seats, and an attractive inglenook fireplace with a bread oven and inset log burner. As the heart of the home, this space also connects to the dining room, which exudes character with exposed beams and a stone fireplace.

A door from the dining room leads into the kitchen, which features gorgeous flagstone flooring that complements the fully fitted units. The kitchen includes an integrated cooker, fridge, and freezer, along with space for a dishwasher, all while enjoying a lovely aspect overlooking the rear garden.

The free-flowing layout continues into the family room, a bright and airy space enhanced by large windows and French doors opening to the garden. This room offers flexibility, accommodating both a living area and an informal dining space.

A large utility/boot room completes the ground floor, with a durable tiled floor, ample space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and fridge freezer, as well as a downstairs cloakroom with shower facilities.

A traditional latch door from the sitting room conceals a staircase leading to the first-floor landing. Two bedrooms are located here, along with a principal suite comprising a spacious double bedroom, a dressing room (which could be adapted as an additional double bedroom or nursery), and an en-suite shower room. All the bedrooms include built-in storage, and a family bathroom with a white three-piece suite is also located on this floor.
