Lipyeate, Holcombe, Somerset, BA3

Set in the historic locality of Lipyeate Cross, Lyndhurst is a substantial detached character home dating from before 1900. The original part of the house retains traditional solid stone walls, giving it a strong sense of character and connection to the area’s history.

Set within a mature plot, the house has been completely renovated since the owners bought it in 2017, blending its original proportions with a modern layout and contemporary finishes. ‘We were immediately drawn to the sheer space and fantastic renovation potential, as well as its quiet, tucked-away position,’ they explain.

Arranged over two floors, the house has a large kitchen diner, utility, sitting room, study and downstairs WC on the ground floor, with four bedrooms, including one with an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom upstairs. The kitchen is now the heart of the home, while the original stone-walled sitting room has a wood burner. ‘The contrast between the bright, modern spaces and the older sections works really well. The kitchen is a great central hub, while the original rooms feel solid, quiet and cosy.’

The garden is particularly private, with a well-kept patio, detached double garage and large driveway providing parking for four or five cars. ‘The rear garden and patio are ideal for morning coffee or summer evenings, or just a lovely place to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.’ The main bedrooms and living areas enjoy open green views across the Somerset countryside.
The location offers countryside living with walks across the Mendips from the doorstep and several country pubs nearby, including The Holcombe, The Holcombe Farm Shop and Kitchen and the historic Jolliffe Arms. Radstock and Midsomer Norton provide everyday amenities, while Frome is close by for independent shops and its monthly market. The area also boasts a good choice of state and independent schools for all ages. ‘Bath is only around 20 minutes away by car and Bristol roughly 40 minutes.’ Bristol airport is conveniently close.

‘The neighbourhood is friendly and welcoming, with people looking out for one another and always stopping for a chat.’

‘Lyndhurst works equally well for everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen diner flows easily to the garden, making it particularly easy to have friends over in summer.’

‘We’ll miss gathering in the kitchen, the comfort of the wood burner on colder evenings and the peaceful mornings overlooking the garden. Most of all, we’ll miss the quietness and privacy of the plot.’
