The Farmhouse - Somerset House

This attractive period residence dates back to 1730 in part with later additions, which now makes for a spacious family home. The property has been sympathetically and beautifully updated by the current owners over the last 2 years. The tasteful accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises; entrance porch with front door opening into a welcoming hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and door opening into bedroom 5, although this room could easily be used as a 2nd sitting room. Along the hallway you will find a family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle and also from the hallway, an opening provides access into the dining room and through into both the main reception room with a wood burner and kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen area is well-fitted with a comprehensive range of wall, base and drawer units and there are additional, useful storage cupboards. The breakfast room has French doors opening out to the rear patio area and wood-fired hot tub. Also on the ground floor is a utility room and additional WC. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms; bedroom one has the benefit of built-in wardrobes. A shower room on this floor completes the accommodation. Outside there are landscaped and well-manicured gardens and a sweeping gravel driveway. To the rear of the farmhouse is an extensive garage/workshop.

The annexe - Thornhills Cottage

An ideal annexe to the farmhouse for a dependent relative or guests, along with the ability to provide further income. Double doors open into the well-proportioned sitting room with opening through into a fitted kitchen with built-in oven, hob and fridge. There is a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Outside the cottage benefits from a wood-fired hot tub.
