Situated just outside the High Ham, Brookside enjoys a fabulous rural position, whilst remaining accessible to a number of local amenities. High Ham offers local facilities including its renowned primary school, inn, village hall and the attractive Millennium Wood just a 5 minute walk. The village is situated 3 miles from the town of Langport which offers good day-to-day amenities, including supermarket, shops, post office, doctors' and dentists’ surgeries, library, inns, garages, churches, primary school and Huish Episcopi Academy with adjoining Sports Centre. Street is located 7 miles away with the prestigious Millfield School and the famous Clarks Village shopping center.
To the front of the property is a gated driveway, laid to gravel, offering parking for several cars and giving access to the two garages. The older garage is of timber construction, and has most recently been used as a workshop whilst the ‘newer’ garage is fitted with double wooden doors, light and power and offers room to park a car as well as offering useful storage space.
The south-facing rear garden is truly beautiful space laid mostly to lawn, bordered with established hedging and dotted with mature trees and shrubs. A generous patio is laid to the immediate rear of the house and to the back of the garden are three useful sheds.
To the south-east of the property is a 3.35 acre pasture paddock, fronting the Stembridge Road with good double timber gated access in the north-east corner. North-easterly sloping with good stock proof boundaries comprising post and pig wire fencing and natural hedges, the field offers a range of potential uses for any future owner.
As there is 3rd party interest in the field, the sellers are open to selling the cottage independently, should a potential purchaser desire.
