Wood Farm Cottage is a well-presented family home that provides opportunities for multigeneral living or income potential through the impressive detached two-bedroom annexe. The property sits in an elevated position within its grounds of approximately 6.62 acres and benefits from several outbuildings. The cottage and annexe enjoy a peaceful edge-of-village location with views over the surrounding Somerset countryside.

The main house has a mixture of characterful features and modern fittings with exposed timber floorboards and beams to parts of the accommodation as well as brick-built fireplaces. The heart of the home is the 25ft kitchen and breakfast room which has terracotta floor tiles and a fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove as well as a large central island, a split butler sink and modern integrated appliances. The utility room provides further space for storage and appliances. Also on the ground floor there is a comfortable sitting room, a useful cloakroom and a light and airy dining room with panoramic views across the garden and surrounding countryside.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one of which benefits from built-in storage, plus a family shower room.

The annexe has an impressive 28ft sitting room and kitchenette with a vaulted ceiling and arched windows running to the apex of the ceiling and bifold doors that open onto a patio area. The ground floor of the annexe has one double bedroom and a contemporary bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and a walk-in shower, while the upper level has a further double bedroom. The annexe has been sustainably built and provides excellent eco credentials that include an air source heat pump, solar power energy and underfloor heating.

The driveway continues past the annexe to the outbuildings which comprise a pole barn and a machine hall with a separate feed store. The house and annexe are set in rolling gardens and grounds of approximately 6.62 acres and includes a vegetable garden, a babbling stream and a variety of mature specimen trees providing privacy. Beyond the gardens are grassy paddocks providing space which could be used for grazing livestock.

The village has a local pub and a primary school, while the larger village of Williton is four and a half miles away, offering local amenities such as a supermarket, post office, community hospital, and primary and secondary schools.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

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
