Cooks Farmhouse is a handsome period property with a striking modernist extension, set on just under an acre of mature, multi-zoned gardens. The south-facing living/dining/kitchen extension maximises the far-reaching rural views and floods the main living space with light, creating an impressive hub for family life and entertaining. An independent two-bedroom annexe offers flexible accommodation for guests, older children, or rental income, and can be reconnected to the main house if preferred.
The original farmhouse retains character features including flagstone floors, inglenook fireplaces, window seats and timber panelling, blending comfortably with contemporary interventions such as large glazed doors and high slanted windows. Practical outbuildings include a stone-built former stable (suitable for conversion STPP), a double carport with an insulated office, double garage doors, and generous gated parking for several vehicles.
The garden is a major asset: terraces, orchard, kitchen garden, greenhouse, potting shed, children's play area, a raised look-out and large firepit provide diverse outdoor rooms and excellent scope for horticulture or play. The elevated plot on the edge of Compton Dundon delivers privacy and immediate access to countryside walks and village amenities including a pub, post office and active village hall.
Important practical points: the property is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators and currently has an EPC rating of E. Parts of the house are of historic construction with assumed solid stone walls and limited insulation. Council Tax is above average. These are normal considerations for a substantial pre-1900 farmhouse and will influence running costs and any planned renovation work.
