THE PROPERTY
Tucked away in an idyllic location, first glimpses of Berry Farm House are most impressive with its most attractive facade constructed of stone elevations under a pitched slate roof. Justifiably Grade II listed of architectural and historical importance, this wonderful property dates back to the most popular late Georgian period and benefits from the architectural embellishments which make this period of architecture so popular such as high ceilings, tall sash windows, original window shutters and original cornicing.
On first entering the property there is a real sense of charm, space and light with a large hallway making it difficult not to smile! The property has been incredibly well looked after over the years, with very well-presented and flexible accommodation, yet totally untainted by inappropriate modernisation with a perfect blend of old and new. From the hall is a cloakroom and a boot/utility room also leading into a most useful double integral garage.
Worth a special mention is the fantastic family kitchen with plenty of room for a breakfast/dining table and incorporating a number of wooden wall and base units, an electric Aga (blue) and access to the lovely conservatory, an ideal place for a morning coffee enjoying views over the most attractive courtyard. Berry Farm House, with its perfect corner position is one of the only homes within this small development that boasts this amazing aspect and also with a private sun terrace, ideal for al fresco dining.
The sitting room is perfectly proportioned with tall sash windows, original shutters and doors to the dining room and conservatory.
Accessed via a very attractive staircase, the beautiful bedrooms are situated on the first floor, with four double bedrooms, ideal for most families, the main bedroom and guest bedroom both enjoying an en suite. There is also a family bathroom. Many of the rooms boast stunning views towards Lamberts Castle and the surrounding countryside.
The property is approached via its own private entrance with ample parking behind a stone wall. The delightful garden to the front is easily maintained, predominantly lawned with mature shrubs and trees. To the rear of the property and alongside the conservatory is an al fresco terrace and shared area of courtyard.
LOCATION
Berry Farm House lies amidst beautiful unspoilt country on the Devon / Dorset border, where little has changed for centuries. Much of the surrounding countryside is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where strict planning controls protect its special character. The village of Hawkchurch is centred on its lovely old church and comprises many period houses at its heart. The traditional country pub dating back to 1543, The Old Inn, community shop, primary school and The Hawkchurch Resort and Spa make Hawkchurch a thriving village community. The nearby village of Marshwood supports a public house, primary school and the Parish Church of St Mary, with a post office/shop at nearby Raymonds Hill. The flourishing towns of Beaminster, Bridport, Axminster and Crewkerne are all within easy access and offer a wide range of shops and general amenities and Taunton, the County Town of Somerset, is also within easy reach. The popular coastal resort of Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast, a Unesco World Heritage site is just over 7 miles and has an excellent range of facilities including shops, medical centre, pubs and restaurants. Mainline railway stations to London Waterloo (approximately 2.5 hours) are located at Axminster and Crewkerne.
