Woolston, North Cadbury, Somerset, BA22

Set within approximately 2.715 acres, Ferngrove Farm is a much-loved family home of 30 years, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire an impressive Edwardian country residence in a peaceful rural setting within the hamlet of Woolston. Extending to over 3,300 sq. ft. across three floors, this substantial seven-bedroom home combines the elegance and character of a period property with a beautifully considered refurbishment completed in 2021. The property enjoys generous grounds, a separate paddock, private driveway and double garage, while the rural setting is complemented by excellent road links via the nearby A303.

Ground Floor
The entrance hall sets the tone with solid oak flooring, a traditional staircase and a wealth of natural light. Two elegant reception rooms, a sitting and dining room, provide more formal spaces for relaxing and entertaining, both featuring multi-fuel burners set within characterful fireplaces. A separate hallway provides access to the useful utility room, fitted with navy cabinetry, a Belfast sink and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge/freezer. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, beautifully combining everyday family living with a welcoming space for entertaining. Sage cabinetry, marble-effect worktops and a central island with pendant lighting create a sophisticated finish, complemented by an AGA beneath a brick archway and double ceramic sink with swan neck tap. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and Neff oven with four-ring hob and extractor above. Beyond the kitchen, the generous breakfast room enjoys a roof lantern, French doors and a pleasant outlook across the gardens. The adjoining snug provides a more relaxed space, with fitted storage, a multi-fuel burner and French doors opening out to a private walled courtyard. Completing the ground floor is a practical boot room with bespoke fitted cabinetry and cloakroom with a WC and basin.

First Floor
The first-floor landing gives access to four well-proportioned bedrooms, two linen cupboards and the family shower room, with stairs continuing to the second floor. The generous principal bedroom features a characterful fireplace and built-in wardrobes, while its beautifully appointed en-suite includes a freestanding bath, separate corner shower, vanity basin, high-level WC and underfloor heating. Three further double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, with a combination of fitted storage and attractive sash windows. A stylish shower room serves the first floor and benefits from a corner shower, vanity with twin basins, WC and underfloor heating.

Second Floor
The second floor provides a further three bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family, guests, hobbies or home working. Two of the bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged with separate sleeping and dressing areas, each benefiting from Velux windows and useful eaves storage. A further single bedroom, also with a Velux window and eaves storage, completes the bedroom accommodation. The second-floor bathroom comprises a freestanding roll top bath with shower attachment, basin, WC and Velux window.

Outside
Approached through double gates, the gravelled driveway provides extensive parking and leads to a substantial double garage, with power and lighting. The principal gardens lie predominantly to the front of the house, where an expansive lawn provides an attractive approach to the property. A paved patio adjoining the kitchen and breakfast room provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with views extending across the gardens and towards the surrounding countryside. A summer house adds further versatility, while mature planting and established trees provide privacy.

Beyond the formal garden lies the property’s enclosed paddock of approximately two acres, accessed through its own gated entrance. With a mixture of native and fruit trees, this valuable area of land offers considerable versatility, whether retained as additional green space, used for recreational purposes or providing potential for a smallholding or other lifestyle use, subject to any necessary consents.
