In addition, there is a dedicated study which could equally serve as a snug, hobby room or playroom depending on requirements.
On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an excellent principal bedroom suite with en suite facilities and a guest room also benefiting from an en suite. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, which is finished to an equally high standard.'

Meadow View and the Local Area
Set just of Ham Street in Baltonsborough, Meadow View is perfectly situated within the village, within walking distance of the surrounding countryside, as well as the shop, pub and primary school - trio of amenities that few villages still enjoy.
The village pub is one of many good establishments in the area, others include The Red Lion at Babcary, The Cross Keys at Lydford, The Manor at Ditcheat and The Crown at Pilton to name a few.
Other villages close by include West Pennnard, Butleigh, Lovington and Keinton Mandeville which all offer ample amenities and facilities including several primary schools, an award winning bakery (Levitos in Lovington), and village stores. There are excellent state and independent schools in the wider area including Millfield, Hazelgrove, Downside, All Hallows, Wells Blue School, Strode College, Wells Cathedral School, Ansford and the Bruton schools.
On the outskirts of the nearby town of Castle Cary (15 minutes) is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington, and the A37 just a two minute drive away provides access south to the A303 for London and the Southwest and north to Bristol and Bath. Castle Cary is characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey coloured stone for which the area is well known. It remains a delightful small market town with a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development.
“The Newt in Somerset” just outside Castle Cary is home to beautiful countryside walks set in the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate there are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and house & garden shop. Another benefit of living in Baltonsborough is access to local resale tickets of the world renowned Glastonbury Festival which greatly increases chances of securing tickets.
Bruton is located 3 miles north west of Castle Cary, it dates back to Roman times and today is a charming small town with various shops and amenities, including the ‘Hauser & Wirth’ Art & Exhibition Gallery, ‘The Roth Bar & Grill’, the Michelin starred 'Osip', the ever popular dining experience ‘At The Chapel’, and of course an excellent choice of schools including King's School and Sexey's School.
