Description
A unique property that proudly celebrates its agricultural heritage. Exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and original stonework provide a strong connection to its past, while generous rooms, oak flooring and a warm, welcoming atmosphere give the home an enduring, timeless appeal.
 
Outside, shared, communal areas provide a refreshing sense of space and the quiet, surrounding countryside is perfect for dog walks or cycle rides.
 
Accommodation
The half glazed front door opens to a generous reception hall, where there’s plenty of space for coats and boots.  On the right is a surprisingly generous sitting room/dining room with exposed timber beams, vaulted ceiling and south facing windows, and French doors which open to an attractive terrace. The oak floor and wood-burning stove give this large room a sense of warmth. The size of the room offers scope for zoning for different uses with plenty of space for an office and a dining area.
 
The kitchen has a range of cream, shake- style units and an electric hob, extractor and oven. There is space for a fridge freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.
 
There are 2 bedrooms, one of which has a built-in wardrobe, and the family bathroom has a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Throughout the property, exposed stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and beams create a lofty sense of mezzanine storage in the second bedroom.
 
Outside
The enclosed courtyard to the front of the property is surrounded by a traditional stone wall. This courtyard is currently half gravel and half paved, and there is scope for the next owner to alter this if required.
 
An oak framed double garage is divided in two, one side is garage and one side is a storage room, both have electricity. There is eaves storage above and further storage at the back of the garage. There is parking for two vehicles on a blockwork drive in front of the garage and store. In addition there is visitors parking.
 
To the south side of the property an attractive terrace is a super place to sit to catch the best of the sun.

About the area
Huxham Green is a small, quiet hamlet between Wells, Glastonbury and Castle Cary.
Wells is the smallest city in England (population 10,000) lying in beautiful countryside between the Somerset Levels and the Mendip Hills. There is a central marketplace (local markets twice a week), many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace, a small but busy local shopping centre and a broad range of societies and activities.
Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It’s been a religious centre from the times of legends. A Celtic monastery evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and is now a thriving market town and a major tourist venue. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey. Castle Cary is another delightful and historic town which lies to the east, and which has a main line train station to London.
There are facilities and amenities in the surrounding towns to suit most needs and excellent state and independent schools including Strode College, Millfield, Wells, Cathedral, Hazelgrove, All Hallows, Downside, Sherborne and the Bruton schools.

P.S. 
A few extra comments.
Mortgages – we can help. 
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
