A charming Grade II listed family home with separate cottage and selection of outbuildings positioned centrally within established gardens and grounds of around 9 acres.

Antioch is a Grade II listed house, which according to the listing dates from the early 17th century in its oldest parts. First impressions are superb, with a tree lined drive that sweeps through the grounds and into a courtyard flanked by the house and attractive stone outbuildings. Immediately noticeable on arrival are the mature trees and established gardens surrounding the house, giving it a great sense of privacy and seclusion.

There are an abundance of original and unique features throughout this magnificent family home, as well as plenty of space for entertaining. The work that has been undertaken by the current owners cleverly combines the character and history of the house with modern practicalities for family life, bringing it firmly yet sympathetically into the 21st century.

Throughout the house are doors connecting the inside and outside, making it ideal for summer entertaining and ensuring an abundance of natural light. On entrance to the kitchen, the attention to detail and quality of the refurbishment is immediately noticeable and sets the tone for the rest of the house. The newly installed flagstone floors are a nod to the eminent history of the house and there is an AGA and large larder. At one end of the kitchen are French doors leading to a terrace overlooking the parkland-like gardens and grounds.

Beyond the kitchen is a stunning and distinctive dining room with large open fireplace. The snug features a porthole window and also has access to the garden. The drawing room is a beautifully presented L-shaped room, ideal for entertaining and with a triple aspect ensuring plenty of light and views over the gardens.

On the first floor are five well-appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom is of particular note with a beautifully finished en suite bathroom. One further bedroom has an en suite bathroom and there is a separate family bathroom, all finished to the same exacting standard.

Within the large outbuilding connected to the house is the cottage, converted to a high specification and offering
ideal holiday letting accommodation with potential for
income generation. The cottage consists of an open plan kitchen / dining / sitting room with access to a small front garden. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom, all immaculately presented. The cottage has access on both sides, and there is a spur leading off the main drive to its own parking area, ensuring maximum privacy from the main house.

The established gardens feature an abundance of mature trees and borders bisected by attractive stone walls and with sheltered terraces for outdoor entertaining. There is a large area of sweeping lawn to the front of the house.

Sitting to the north of the house is the kidney shaped outdoor swimming pool with striking paved surround and a large pool house behind which is the pretty and productive vegetable garden, built during the current owner's tenure. Immediately behind the house is a rose garden, ideal for relaxing and enjoying a drink.

Antioch is well protected and sits centrally within its land, surrounded by paddocks and woodland. There are three paddocks in total, with a field shelter serving two of them and water supply to all of them. Within the copse 1,000 Bluebells have been recently planted. The land extends to around 9.2 acres in total.


The approach to Antioch is superb, positioned at the end of a private road that leads to a tree lined drive giving access to the large gravelled parking and turning area within a courtyard flanked by the house and outbuildings.

Antioch is situated in a peaceful yet convenient location, with the rare combination of an idyllic rural setting and accessibility to local amenities and transport links. Stalbridge is just over a mile away from the house and provides good local amenities including an indep

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
