A particular feature of the first floor is the beautiful shuttered arched window that sits to the rear of the first floor landing, beautifully positioned, providing a magnificent outlook over the impressive landscaped garden up towards the imperious AONB of Mendip Hills in the background.

All of the bedrooms are doubles in size and some feature fitted wardrobes, including the magnificent master suite which also benefits from a superb dressing room and dual aspect windows. The master bedroom has been much improved by our current vendors who utilised a former 6th bedroom as the dressing room to create such an amazing opulent space.

Moving outside, the garden is every bit as impressive as the house itself and truly enhances the overall appeal of the property. Adjacent to the rear of the property is an impressive block paved terrace which spans the width of the house, which provides the property with a wonderful entertaining space and is perfect for al fresco dining. To part of the terrace there is a fantastic wooden porch providing shelter from the elements if required.
