Summary - THE FIRS HONEYCLIFF BATCOMBE SHEPTON MALLET BA4 6DQ
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Renovated five-bedroom home with extensive outbuildings and large gardens.
Nearly 0.79 acres with southerly-facing terraces and tiered lawns
Set on almost 0.8 acres on the edge of Batcombe, this newly renovated five-bedroom country house blends traditional stone character with contemporary finishes. The main house offers generous reception rooms, a handmade kitchen with granite worktops and a light, vaulted family room; upstairs there is a principal suite, guest suite, three further bedrooms and two bathrooms. Three terraces, tiered lawns and southerly aspect provide abundant outdoor space for family life and entertaining.
Two substantial outbuildings add flexible accommodation and leisure space: a large detached annexe with four rooms, shower and a skittle room with ESSE stove, plus a substantial party barn with wood burner and storeroom. Both buildings have upgraded insulation and date from different periods, offering potential for home working, hobby use or guest/ancillary living subject to any required consents.
Practical points are straightforward: services include mains electricity, private spring and borehole water with UV system, private drainage (septic tank) and oil-fired central heating. Broadband is very slow and there is no mobile signal on site — important for those who need reliable connectivity. EPC rating D and council tax is described as quite expensive.
This property will suit a family or someone seeking a spacious rural base close to Bruton’s amenities and reputable schools, or buyers looking for a countryside retirement home with plenty of room for guests and hobbies. The location within the Mendip Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty delivers privacy and views, but buyers should be content with remoter‑community services and limited digital connectivity.
