A rare opportunity to acquire a rural lifestyle property in the heart of Somerset with views in all directions across neighbouring countryside. Set in approximately 12.5 acres, Bengrove House is sold with no chain and is a beautifully-presented five bedroom stone-built period property dating back to the 1800s and offers flexible and well-designed living space for all the modern family needs. In addition to the main house, this stunning property offers an impressive architect-designed 5-room garden annexe which is ideal for home-working or to run a business from, a fully-equipped mobile home, a detached studio/summer house, stone barn and further outbuildings including stables.

The land, which is certified organic by the Soil Association, includes a system of mature vegetable beds and large greenhouses, as well as extensive gardens, play areas and sun patio.
The main house, which is approached via a sweeping tree-lined drive offering covered parking with car-charging point and further spaces for up to 10 vehicles, comprises a large breakfast kitchen with generous granite worktops and flagstone floor, dining room, living room, library/snug, utility/laundry room and larder. There is also a single bedroom/study adjoining a downstairs shower room which could offer the opportunity to create a self-contained area. To the first floor are four double bedrooms and a recently-installed stylish modern bathroom with free-standing bath, separate shower cubicle and twin wash-hand basins.
