The principal residence is a detached four-bedroom home, beautifully presented and retaining a wealth of period charm. Among its notable features are two generously proportioned master bedrooms, each with en-suite shower rooms. The property also provides scope, subject to the necessary consents, to incorporate a one-bedroom annex (subject to necessary consents).

In addition, the lot includes a detached two-bedroom dwelling which may, subject to consents, be reconfigured to create three bedrooms. A separate parcel of land, currently arranged as an orchard, forms part of the holding, alongside a variety of outbuildings. These include a private yard with workshop and light industrial space, offering flexible usage and further possibilities for those seeking either practical facilities or potential redevelopment, subject to the relevant approvals.

The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped, with bespoke gardens to the front and rear incorporating an allotment area. A substantial driveway provides extensive off-street parking and enhances the overall appeal of the site.

Rooksbridge, Somerset, is a semi-rural village with convenient access to the A38, providing links to Bristol, Weston-super-Mare, and surrounding towns. Its location offers connectivity alongside a peaceful village setting.
