Oakhill, Somerset, BA3

Well tailored to a range of lifestyles, the property offers exceptional potential for families, multigenerational living, or those seeking equestrian facilities.

The entrance hall leads into an impressive living room featuring a log burner, oak beamed vaulted ceilings and an open connection to the fully glazed apex of the garden room. Double and bifold doors open the space seamlessly to the outdoors, flooding the room – and indeed the entire house – with natural light.

Across the hall is a formal dining room, once again showcasing exposed oak beams and a vaulted ceiling. It sits beside the beautifully appointed Tom Howley kitchen/breakfast room, an exceptional family and entertaining space. The kitchen includes a five oven Aga, walk in pantry, premium appliances such as a Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer and Montpellier wine cooler, and a generous island with breakfast bar. An external door opens onto a charming courtyard.

A second hallway provides access to a utility room, laundry cupboard, cloakroom and a glass fronted wine store. This hallway continues through to a large study with air conditioning, dedicated storage for coats and shoes, and dual access – one door opening to the rear of the property and another to the courtyard.

The remainder of the ground floor comprises three double bedrooms. The spacious principal bedroom with en suite shower room, builtin wardrobes, air conditioning and French doors leading onto the sun terrace. The second bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, while the third is served by a family bathroom.

On the first floor, a galleried landing with extensive built-in cupboards leads to the fourth bedroom and a further bathroom. Opposite lies a large storeroom, equal in size to the bedroom and offering excellent potential to be used as a fifth bedroom if required.

Meadow Barn, the original stone barn conversion completed in 2002, offers its own distinct character and provides generously proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. This is ideal as overflow accommodation to the main house, for multigenerational living, or as a self contained letting opportunity.

The front door opens into a bright and spacious hallway with a cloakroom opposite. The ground floor features a charming farm house style kitchen complete with Rayburn oven, pantry and flagstone flooring. Across the hall lies a generous living room with a gas stove, wooden floors, exposed beams and double doors leading to a terrace.

A staircase rises to the first floor, opening onto a light and airy galleried landing. There are three bedrooms: the first with floor-to-ceiling apex windows mirroring the design of the main house and showcasing far reaching views; the second, a double room with dressing area and en suite bathroom; and a third single bedroom. A separate shower room completes this floor. Outside is a private garden with a large terrace, pond, and parking for two cars.

The property is approached via a private driveway offering ample parking, alongside a triple carport with an attached log store.

Three substantial barns provide extensive storage and present exciting potential for future development, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Beyond the formal gardens lie paddocks, a picturesque woodland, and a stream, together with the benefit of a natural spring water supply. The grounds also include a productive vegetable garden, an apple orchard and hen houses.
