Substantial period house with annexe, stables and 3.66 acres; ideal for family or equestrian use.
Period stone house with traditional features and Blue Lias flagstone floors
Laburnum House is a substantial period property occupying about 3.66 acres on the edge of Sutton Montis, offering exceptional far-reaching Somerset countryside views. Built in natural stone with traditional features — exposed beams, open fireplaces and Blue Lias flagstones — the house extends to over 3,800 sq ft including a flexible 2‑bed integral annexe. The annexe, stable block and large garden buildings add useful secondary accommodation and workspace.
The current layout suits multi‑generational living or a house with separate letting potential: a 3‑bed main house plus a self-contained 2‑bed annexe, multiple reception rooms and an insulated studio. Outdoor assets include two paddocks, a stable block with power and water, a greenhouse, substantial garden building and private parking for several vehicles. There is scope, subject to consents, to convert outbuildings or reconfigure the annexe into a single generous family home.
Practical considerations are clear: the property needs renovation and modernisation throughout, has secondary glazing, oil‑fired central heating and partial cavity wall insulation (assumed). The rural setting gives peaceful seclusion but average mobile signal and reliance on the A303 for swift road links. An additional paddock (c.3.5 acres) is available separately.
This is a property for buyers seeking character and space who are comfortable with a renovation project and long‑term stewardship of an equestrian plot. Its combination of period charm, outbuildings and riding or grazing land will particularly suit families, equestrian owners or those looking to develop ancillary income streams.
