Total plot size about 1.4 acres.The vendor says "The house was previously an estate cottage, built in 1890's and sold by Right Honorable James Sherbrooke Viscount Chewton in 1975. We purchased it three years ago as we wanted to live in the countryside, with some land, and a workshop as I am a hobby blacksmith. There are no near neighbours, and we enjoy looking at the dairy cattle in the field, the sheep, and large population of jackdaws who put on a murmuration display for us twice a day. The house has an acre of mature gardens, and we have a damson orchard, Himalayan birch tree lined drive, and other rare trees. We have planning permission to build an annex, which we have started to ground level, so the planning is still extant.""The house is accessed down a single lane gravel track off the A39, nestled in a hollow about two hundred meters down the track. The drive leads to the west facing facade of this lovely house with a stone patio looking out over the wooded valley. The house is entered through the kitchen which has been renovated with grey tiles on the floor, partridge grey kitchen units with white veined quartz worktops, lava grey ESSE electric range cooker with induction hob, double width American fridge/freezer, metro tiles and a gothic arched window into the dining room and a seating area at the base of the oak staircase.

The dining room has an engineered oak floor, with original oak beams, a raised platform for a Jotul No 6 wood burner, and patio doors leading out to the main garden an ideal entertaining space which is so full of character, and light. A brick archway with exposed bricks and plaster revealing the fabric of the building leads to the triple aspect sitting room. We have split this area into two zones, one with the large open fireplace which has an old oak lintel above, and a flagstone hearth and is set in an exposed stone wall, which is a reading/chatting/sitting area and the other with two sofas and TV for relaxing. The original front door opens into this room. All the doors throughout the house are stable doors, and there are old oak beams, and an engineered oak floor and cast iron radiators in the dining room and sitting room.""From the kitchen with the exposed stone wall, the bespoke oak staircase with glass panels leads up to the spacious landing, with curved window and window seat, which looks out to the paddock. There is scope to make a second bathroom here, subject to the relevant consents. The principal bedroom is dual aspect with an original Victorian fireplace (currently blocked off) , bespoke built in wardrobes and plantation shutters. Across the landing is the smallest bedroom, currently laid out as a second sitting room, but with room for a double bed and views across to the East. An archway and internal corridor lead to bedroom three which has a handmade tall gothic oak door. There are built in wardrobes across one side and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Down a second corridor is a Victorian style bathroom with built in dove grey cabinets, a marble topped basin and walk in electric shower. The second bedroom is dual aspect and located at the front of the house, with built in wardrobes, a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and a loft area.""Outside there is a double garage with power and electric doors. The workshop, which is newly built has a new flat roof, downstairs wc, basin and handheld shower for dog washing. At the southern side of the house is a yellow limestone patio with Dorset gravel and affording stunning views over the valley. There is a sunken pond with solar powered copper weeping willow water feature, newts and a circular brick lily pond. The majestic apple tree is about 150 years old. Steps lead down to the front lawn which has a tulip tree, sycamores and conifers at the wild edges of the lawn. From the kitchen door is a second small breakfast/morning coffee area, with a water fountain coming out of the stone wall and an old stone Chinese smoke oven, used by the previous owner for smoking fish. Stone steps lead up to the higher level of the garden and mature trees.""Externally the windows are new double glazed units (installed in 2019) in Chatsworth green and on the patio a sage green screen has been made to screen off the oil tank. We also have a fire pit seating area and a chicken coop.""The house is very private, but there is very good access to local amenities. A small Co-op and excellent farm shop are in Farrington Gurney, just 1.6 miles away. Wells is a beautiful 7.2 mile drive away, with stunning views of Glastonbury Tor en route. There is a woodland trail from our door to the Litton pub which has outstanding food. There are lovely lakeland walks in Litton village. Norton Hill School is 4.5 miles away and there are excellent state and independent schools in both Bath and Wells."Additional Information:Postcode: BA3 4BUTenure: FreeholdUtilities: Oil, electricity, mains water and septic tankLocal Authority: MendipCouncil Tax: Band GBroadband: Please see - checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/broadband-coverageMobile Phone Coverage: Please see - checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/mobile-coverageStamp Duty Payable: Please see - gov.uk/stamp-duty-land-tax/residential-property-rates For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_somerset-r741754/for-sale_i70273249

This multi-faceted property boasts a wide range of quality outbuildings, from animal shelters to leisure and commercial in nature, offering all the space that a large family could need.ACCOMMODATION:Formal entry is found at the front elevation, where the truly imposing nature of this period villa is apparent, and the kerbside appeal is most evident.

Believed to be one of the oldest houses in the middle of this delightful village, Old Farm has a lovely position and stands on grounds of approximately an acre which look south across the gardens and fields beyond. The main house has a traditional thatch roof and exudes immense character with exposed beams and ham stone walls.Upon entering the house it is clear to see that this property has been the subject of a significant programme of works. With an impressive attention to detail, the current owners have managed to enhance the original features whilst ensuring that this is now a home fit for the demands of modern day living. This is most notable in the fabulous dual aspect kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops, a 2-plate oil-fired AGA (cream) and adjacent utility/laundry. Leading from the kitchen is the dining room, with original flagstone floors, inglenook fireplace and wood burner making it the perfect space for entertaining. Beyond the original hallway lies the family room, with parquet floors, original bread oven and wood burner providing a more informal living arrangement, perhaps as a playroom.

Chiselborough House started life as a much smaller 17th century house that is reputed to have been dismantled and then re-assembled and extended in its current position during the Georgian period. The house has subsequently remained almost unchanged architecturally and is a lovely example of a house of that period.The principal reception rooms and bedrooms are south facing with wonderful views over the attractive garden and grounds. Many of the classic, early 19th century architectural fittings remain and include small pane, tall windows, moulded architraves, beautiful joinery including oak parquet flooring and Blue Lias flagstones floors. The house has been the home of its current owners since 1997 and now offers the opportunity for a full refurbishment. The principal part of the house is formed around the central reception hall, which has three reception rooms off it and an elegant, sweeping staircase lit by natural light from a roof lantern above the stairwell.Both the drawing room and adjacent dining room are south-facing with French windows providing direct access into the garden. Also on the ground floor is the sitting room, which has oak beams, a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. The good-sized kitchen/breakfast room has a walk-in pantry and is thought to have a Blue Lias flagstone floor beneath its current covering. Upstairs off the main, galleried landing are four bedrooms, of which two have en suite bathrooms. A secondary landing leads to four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.Beside the house is a cobbled hamstone stable yard incorporating two loose boxes, double garage, single garage and a two bedroom cottage (in need of refurbishment) with its own garden behind. Scope exists subject to planningto enlarge the cottage by incorporating the single garage.Chiselborough House is approached by a drive that swings round to the area in front of the house and is set in beautiful parkland grounds of about 7 acres, which have been developed over the past 24 years by the currentowners. On the south facing side of the house there is an impressive climbing wisteria together with a large lawn and an established blue cedar tree. Beyond the lawn the gardens lead into a wonderful rich array of camellias, rhododendrons, magnolias, azaleas and other scented plants.Behind the house enclosed by beech hedging is a hard tennis court adjacent to a swimming pool with pool house (both of which are in need of repair). Beyond is a mixed orchard containing plum, apple, walnut, mulberry and pear trees as well as a former kitchen garden and stone built barn.Chiselborough House is situated on the edge of Chiselborough village which has a pretty church and pub.
