Description

Tucked away in the peaceful and welcoming village of West Lydford, this beautifully renovated detached four-bedroom home offers modern comfort and village charm. Over the last couple of years, the property has been meticulously refurbished, creating a home that feels fresh and contemporary while still embracing the warmth and character expected of a country house. The result is a stylish family home with generous proportions, flowing living spaces and an enviable connection to the outdoors.

At the heart of the home lies the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed with everyday family life and entertaining in mind. The bespoke kitchen features sleek cabinetry and striking tiled detailing, with plenty of space for preparing meals while still remaining at the centre of the action. The adjoining dining area is perfectly placed for family suppers and long, convivial dinners with friends, while wide doors open onto the terrace, allowing the space to spill effortlessly outside. On sunny days you can imagine the doors flung wide, with children running in and out from the garden or guests gathering for drinks in the evening sun. The living room is a more intimate retreat, centred around a log-burning stove that radiates warmth on winter evenings, while a further reception room provides valuable versatility. Currently used as a games room, it could just as easily become a cinema room, a second lounge or a quiet study for working from home. Upstairs, four beautifully proportioned bedrooms await, including a principal suite with its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a smart, contemporary family bathroom. Each room has been styled in fresh, neutral tones, making it easy for new owners to move straight in and add their own personal touch.

The outside space is where this property truly comes into its own. Extending to approximately 5.5 acres, the land has been carefully set up for equestrian use. The paddocks, served by a central pipe drainage system, remains usable throughout the year, and the superb Olympic-sized arena measuring 60 metres by 20 metres provides the perfect training ground, whether for everyday schooling or serious competition preparation. A collection of well-planned outbuildings includes two stables, a tack room, a hot wash bay and several barns, ensuring that both horses and equipment are comfortably accommodated. For horseboxes or larger vehicles, a hardstanding lorry park with electric hook-up offers further practicality. This is a property where equestrian facilities don’t feel like an afterthought—they are seamlessly integrated into the home, making it an ideal choice for passionate riders or anyone wishing to combine country living with first-class equestrian provision.

Yet, the land offers much more than just practicality. The rear garden flows onto a lovely patio terrace, a perfect spot for al fresco dining, morning coffee or summer barbecues, with uninterrupted views over the paddocks. Imagine evenings spent here, watching the sun dip behind the trees as horses graze peacefully nearby. Beyond the garden and arena, the paddocks stretch out into the countryside, providing a private and tranquil space for grazing, riding and enjoying the outdoors in every season.

West Lydford itself is a sought-after Somerset village, friendly and picturesque, offering a true sense of community while being surrounded by open countryside. The nearby towns of Castle Cary, and Somerton provide excellent amenities, including shops, schools and leisure facilities, and the area is well connected by road and rail. The A303 gives easy access to London and the South West, while Castle Cary station provides direct services to London Paddington, making this an ideal base for those who want rural tranquillity without sacrificing convenience.

This property offers more than just a home; it is a lifestyle. Whether you are relaxing by the fire on a winter’s evening, hosting summer gatherings on the terrace, tending to horses in the morning sunshine, or simply soaking in the peace and privacy of your surroundings, this is a place where family life, work and leisure blend effortlessly. Rarely does a property combine such stylishly renovated living accommodation with extensive equestrian facilities in such a sought-after setting. It is, quite simply, the complete package.
