Property description

A unique and very beautiful detached country house offering well-appointed and flexible accommodation in a gloriously tranquil and private setting.

Built in 2006 this modern bespoke 4 bedroom property has a superb rural location with far reaching views over rolling countryside but lies only 1 mile from the delightful and renowned Somerset village of South Petherton.

The accommodation briefly comprises of a spacious open hall, 2 reception rooms, a large farmhouse kitchen-breakfast room, utility room and cloakroom WC on the ground floor and 4 double bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom on the first floor. The large Master bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a well-appointed en suite.  Although traditional in its design, the property is less than 10 years old so benefits from all modern insulation, glazing and heating methods and is finished to the highest standard throughout.

Set in approximately 1 acre this elevated property is wonderfully private and secluded. The long driveway leads to garaging and there is parking for several other vehicles too. The house and gardens boast stunning views from Ham Hill in the east to the Quantocks in the west providing the house with a spectacular rural outlook from almost every aspect and every window. The gardens are extensive and extremely well maintained include patios, large wildlife pond, and sundeck.
