Stunning Georgian Farmhouse in village location

Dating from the late 1600's Stratton Farmhouse enjoys the abundant proportions of a classical Georgian farmhouse, extensively reinvigorated to capture the essence of its heritage whilst gently accommodating a modern lifestyle. Features throughout the property provide glimpses to its fine past which the current owners have meticulously blended with modern enhancements: statement flagstone floors, stunning stone mantels framing fireplaces, original beams and brilliantly restored Georgian sash windows.  

An original stone doorway frames the entrance into the most fabulous of kitchens, whilst a grand 16 pane Georgian sash window commands the centre of the room providing a lovely outlook and ensuring a bright and elegant space. This room is the centre piece and a truly stunning highlight of this home. With custom wooden cabinetry, quartz tops and integrated appliances along with flagstones underfoot, a central island to gather around or simply pause and enjoy the ambience. 

The dining room, which sits directly off the kitchen opens directly onto the rear patio and gardens beyond, perfect for summer months. This room is ideally situated to be a possible home office or playroom.  

Views to the pretty front garden and further fields are presented via another grand Georgian window.  Across the formal entrance hall sits the fondly referred to snug. This very comfortable room provides a cosy retreat from the bustle of the house with a log burning stove, fine views to the front of the property and fields beyond. A lovely space to pause and unwind.  

The formal sitting room is an elegant space also benefitting from a 16 pane Georgian window affording stunning views to the front of the property. A large open fireplace with original stone mantel and wooden floors provides a wonderful setting for those more refined or special occasions. The practicalities of a bustling household are also well catered for with a large boot room, separate laundry with integrated washing machine, dryer and bespoke cabinetry for storing the necessities and a downstairs WC. Stratton Farmhouse is link attached to the neighbouring Brewhouse via the boot room / rear hall.

Elegant stairs rise to the first floor where five bedrooms provide very comfortable and private spaces. All these rooms host charming features such as fireplaces (currently capped), restored Georgian windows and calming rural views. 

The primary bedroom is particularly delightful with dual aspect views and a luxurious en-suite.  Three of the remaining rooms are very generous double rooms with the fourth currently utilised as a home office.  A statement family bathroom with separate bath and large shower service these rooms.  

Subtly separated from the main farmhouse is the annexe. Renovated with similar flare and passion for honouring its heritage, the annexe is a charming space. To the front is the formal entrance and dual aspect sitting room with views to the pretty cottage style garden and rural vista beyond. A log burner provides warmth and atmosphere in the cooler months. 

Glass doors open through to the kitchen / dining room. All culinary requirements are well catered for along with a separate pantry / utility room. From the kitchen a door opens to the side garden, providing an ideal patio for al fresco dining and ease of access to the car parking area. A WC completes this floor.  Planning permission has been granted for a conservatory in the patio area.  

Upstairs are two comfortable double bedrooms with pretty-rural views and fireplaces (currently capped). A family bathroom with a separate statement shower serves these bedrooms. This space could remain as is and provide ancillary accommodation for visiting family and friends or indeed support a multigenerational living arrangement. Equally these rooms could quite simply be reincorporated into the main farmhouse.   

Outside 
Stratton Farmhouse gracefully sits on the edge of the hamlet, basking in views of the glorious surrounds. The gardens are predominantly laid to the front and side of the property. The formal entrance to the front is heralded by an archway of climbing rose and a lavender lined path. The front gardens have been meticulously curated with mature plantings of pretty shrubs and perennials.  The garden wraps around to the side with lawned areas perfect for croquet, ball kicking or a summer picnic. A rear patio sits directly outside the dining room, offering al fresco dining and magical summers evenings in the garden.   

The more functional entrance to Stratton Farmhouse is via a gravelled drive with ample off-street parking and an entrance leading directly to the boot room to discard the remnants of the days’ amble before retreating into this fabulous home. 













Situation
Stratton Farmhouse is ideally situated in the centre of the sought-after hamlet of Stoney Stratton, which has a good spread of residents of all generations. 

From the house and on the outskirts of the village lie easily accessible footpaths and fields, ideal for dog walking. It is a quiet and peaceful environment but one with a tangible sense of community spirit.  There is an active community group which arranges social events and coordinates 'projects' for the benefit of all in the hamlet (such as the current upgrade to fibre broadband).  Close by is Evercreech with a local Co-op and Post Office, a village bakery, a dog grooming parlour, a pharmacy and a doctor's surgery. Meanwhile, a busy community hall is used regularly for various local classes, clubs and private events. Evercreech also has a well-regarded Church of England primary school, with a 'good' Ofsted rating, incorporating a pre-school.  

The hamlet is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and the local Mendip Hills offer the opportunity for endless rambling and cycling. Stoney Stratton is a stone’s throw away from popular Bruton with its bustling high street, home to a florist, a pharmacy, several boutiques and some renowned restaurants that include “At the Chapel”, Osip and the Pharmacy. The town is also well known for the Roth Bar and the internationally acclaimed art gallery, Hauser and Wirth. The pretty town of Castle Cary is a few miles to the west and offers many independent shops, pubs, interiors retailers and a bookstore. The Newt in Somerset, has wonderful gardens and woodland walks. 




For shopping, local supermarkets include Waitrose in the nearby historic city of Wells, and Tesco and Aldi in Shepton Mallet. Frome, with a Sainsburys and M&S and its monthly renowned and expansive flea market is also on the doorstep.  Easy access to the A303 links the East and West of the country. Rail links are excellent from Bruton to Bath and Bristol and from Castle Cary to London Paddington where travel time is less than two hours.
