Sympathetic period features: flagstones, fireplaces, panelled doors

This substantial Grade/period farmhouse, part 17th century and extended over time, suits families seeking space and an equestrian lifestyle. The property sits in about 2.5 acres of grounds including formal cottage gardens, productive kitchen garden, two paddocks, outbuildings, greenhouse and a workshop — ideal for horses, hobby farming or multi-generational living.
Internally the house retains many original features: flagstone floors, panelled doors, period fireplaces and tall ceilings. Accommodation is flexible with five bedrooms (or four plus large ancillary room), five reception rooms, a recently refitted kitchen with oiled oak worktops and engineered oak flooring, a luxury family bathroom and two generous shower rooms. Timber double-glazed sash windows and mains gas central heating provide modern comfort alongside character.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is freehold with a single garage, covered carport and ample parking off a gravel drive. Drainage is via a private septic tank; the stone walls are historic and assumed to lack modern insulation. Council Tax is Band G and the plot and outbuildings will require ongoing maintenance. For buyers seeking privacy, riding access and substantial outdoor space close to Bristol and the Mendips, this house offers rare scope; for those wanting fully modern, low-maintenance accommodation, further investment may be needed.
