A substantial period farmhouse set in an extremely private rural hamlet between the Quantock Hills and Exmoor. The extended stone house offers generous reception space, five bedrooms and flexible ground-floor rooms that suit family life and home working. Beautifully landscaped formal gardens sit immediately behind the house and lead onto a paddock extending to approximately 2.5 acres, providing room for hobby livestock, equestrian use or simple country privacy.
Outbuildings include a detached two-storey stone barn with hardstanding and covered parking; the barn offers clear scope for conversion to additional accommodation or ancillary use subject to obtaining necessary planning consents. Practical features include oil-fired heating with underfloor heating in the garden room, double glazing and plentiful parking; mains services are connected.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the property has an EPC rating of E and oil central heating (not a community supply), council tax Band F (higher running cost), and external stone walls are assumed uninsulated. Broadband is reported slow locally despite superfast availability in the area, and any barn conversion would require formal planning permission. The house is chain-free and freehold, suited to buyers wanting a finished family home with clear potential to enhance value through landscaping or outbuilding conversion.
