HIGHBROOKS FARM
CATSGORE, SOMERTON, SOMERSET, TA11 7HZ

A handsome Grade II listed farmhouse, believed to date from the late 18th century with earlier origins. Constructed of traditional blue lias stone with hamstone dressings beneath a tiled roof, the property combines fine period features with spacious, versatile accommodation and delightful gardens of about 1 acre.
The house has been refurbished to an exceptional standard throughout and provides a spacious entrance hall, three reception rooms including a sitting room, dining room and kitchen/family room, utility, pantry and cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and staircase access to a large attic, providing further scope for extra accommodation.
Outside, there is ample parking, a coach house providing annexe accommodation, garaging, and beautifully landscaped gardens with orchard, vegetable plots and a stone garden room.
Location
Highbrooks Farm is delightfully situated on the rural fringes of Somerton in the hamlet of Catsgore, surrounded by open countryside and within easy reach of local amenities. The village itself is predominantly period houses and cottages, with a strong community, local pub, church and good access to the A303/M5.
Accommodation
Approached via a welcoming entrance hall, the character of the house is immediately apparent, with flagstone flooring and a fine Georgian staircase.
The principal sitting room enjoys a triple aspect, with exposed beams and a magnificent inglenook fireplace fitted with a Villager log burner. Additionally, the study and dining room offer further versatile living space, whilst to the rear lies the heart of the home – a large kitchen/family room.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of cream Shaker-style units beneath oak worktops, incorporating cupboards, drawers and an integrated under-counter fridge. A gas-fired range cooker and Belfast sink add to the farmhouse feel, and there is ample space for a dining table. A cloakroom, pantry and large utility room (with Belfast sink, boiler and water treatment machine) complete the ground floor, together with a useful side store.
On the first floor are four generous double bedrooms, including the master with an ensuite bathroom comprising a period roll top bath, basin and WC, as well as a stylish family bathroom. Stairs rise again to a large attic with windows, light, power and plumbing, providing excellent storage or potential for further accommodation (subject to consents).
Outside
From the road, a driveway leads into a large, enclosed courtyard providing parking for several vehicles. The coach house includes a large double garage, wine store, garden store and annexe accommodation – comprising a large, fully fitted kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, with sitting room, bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. Ideal for guests, extended family or letting.
The grounds extend to around an acre and are a particular feature of the property. To the front is an enclosed lawned garden, whilst to the side and rear are further lawns, herbaceous borders and a fine collection of fruit and specimen trees. Two pergolas, one vine-clad and built over a terrace adjoining the kitchen rear of the property, provide a wonderful alfresco dining space. There is also a charming stone garden room, which again adds further scope for a studio or additional accommodation, subject to consents.
About the area
Catsgore is a small rural hamlet set in open countryside just a couple of miles from the historic market town of Somerton. The area is quiet and unspoilt, with farmland and rolling Somerset scenery providing a peaceful backdrop, whilst still being well placed for access to neighbouring towns.
Somerton, nearby, was an important town in Roman times and eventually became the capital of Wessex. It's now a thriving Market Town in the heart of Somerset, yet with easy road access via the A303 road, a few miles south and the main line rail station at Castle Cary. Somerton provides a wide range of local services including a small supermarket, Doctors' Surgery, Library, Butchers, Newsagent, Chemist and Post Office. Close by are other small towns including Street, Glastonbury, Wells, Castle Cary, Yeovil and Sherborne, whilst Bristol, Bath and Taunton are also within easy reach.
There are excellent state and independent schools locally, which include a well-respected primary school in Somerton and secondary schools (and 6th form college) in Street and Huish Episcopi. Independent schools include Millfield (at Street & Glastonbury), Wells Cathedral, Downside, All Hallows and the schools at Bruton and Sherborne. There are lots of good restaurants and pubs in the town and surrounding villages, and most sporting, cultural and social requirements can be met.
