All combine to create a property and home providing accommodation on a grand scale.

The large front door opens to a very generous vestibule, perfect for coats and boots. An ornate glazed arched door leads to the main hall. Original timber floorboards throughout the ground floor and a painted 'runner' on the stairs keep things simple while the high ceilings and Victorian doors and cornicing establish understated elegance.The sitting room is flooded by light from a huge bay window and side window and has an attractive open fireplace and the original shutters. Adjoining is the library/study with a fireplace, floor to ceiling bookshelves and a view over the pretty rear courtyard. The hall continues to the large rear window and a cloakroom. A half-glazed door from the hallway leads to stairs to the lower ground floor.

Places of interest
About Us Roderick Thomas is an entirely independent firm with decade of experience selling and letting residential property. The firm has offices in Bristol (Clifton), Wells, Wedmore and Castle Cary and with its networked associate office in London covers a wide geographical area. The focus is to deliver a high level of service to clients to achieve the best sale or rental possible within a set timescale. The importance of wide spread advertising and effective marketing is recognised and with each property an individual campaign is planned. Having attracted buyers the next stage is negotiation and the firm prides itself on securing an agreement on the best terms and then progressing the sale to completion. Ongoing discussion with all parties including solicitors ensures an agreed timetable is maintained and hitches are anticipated when possible and addressed with action taken if necessary. Focusing fully on sales and letting and not being burdened with “head office” costs Roderick Thomas is able to offer highly competitive commission rates on all agency terms. These include: Sales SOLE AGENCY – one agent is instructed to sell a property and commission is paid to the agent on completion of the sale. JOINT AGENCY – two (occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in conjunction and share the commission on completion. The rate is usually higher than the sole agency. MULTI AGENCY – two (or occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in competition and only the agent who sells receives a commission on completion. Again this is usually at a higher rate then sole agency (but not always). All prospective sellers are invited to contact Roderick Thomas to discuss the sale of any property.

This includes finding tenants and agreeing terms and this can be extended to include rent collection and full management if required. Each case is assessed individually to suit a clients needs.
