Location
Mudgley is a quiet tucked away small hamlet located down a no through road, about 2 miles south of the quintessential “English village” of Wedmore. This is an area which is highly regarded and always in demand.

Description
Springwater Farm like many period properties sits comfortably and sheltered in the lee of the hill, south facing and with fabulous views that stretch out across its own land, buildings and the beautiful countryside beyond.

The house dates from the Stuart period and has been gently improved and updated over the centuries resulting in a comfortable family home with spacious living space and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. At the west side of the house is a self contained cottage which can be included within the main house with interconnecting doors. In addition parts of the main house could be used with the cottage if needed offering lots of flexibility.

The period qualities of the house are evident throughout with beams, stonework, and inglenook fireplaces all complemented by double glazing and oil central heating.

The entrance hall opens to a hallway which runs along the back of the house giving all the main rooms southerly aspects. Both the drawing room and the sitting room have large inglenook fireplaces with wood burning stoves and the study has a fine cross-beam ceiling.

The heart of the house is the kitchen which has beams, a panelled ceiling, plenty of fitted units, a 4 oven Aga and a wide archway into the dining area.
Leading off the kitchen is a large utility room with plenty of space for coats and boots together with a cloakroom with a loo. There is an additional reception room currently used as a study as well as a large utility room and downstairs loo.

The main staircase leads to 4 bedrooms and a bathroom with further stairs connecting to a further 2 bedrooms and a bathroom which can also be separated to provide further bedrooms for the cottage.

The Cottage
Situated on the west side of the building it includes a sitting room, fitted kitchen, downstairs bedroom and bathroom. A staircase connects 2 of the bedrooms and bathroom (also accessed from the main house - see above) Interconnecting doors can open into the main house to provide greater flexibility.

Outside
A drive leads into the property from the lane and there's plenty of parking bounded by stone walls with lawns beyond in turn bounded by post and rail fencing. A sloping orchard paddock and productive vegetable garden then extends down to the stable yard.

Stabling and land
The yard is approached by a drive from the house and the stable block includes 5 loose boxes and a tack room. The building is of stone and blockwork under a clay tiled roof. Adjacent is a barn and tractor shed. Next to this yard is a 40m manege with a paddock beyond adjoining a large meadow. At the far corner of the meadow is a gateway to a bridge over the stream to a strip of land which runs to a quiet country lane. The current owners of the property bought this strip to provide riding access to this network of quiet lanes and byways.
