The property is a former farmhouse believed to date from the 15th century. It is not listed. The present owner purchased the property in 2013 and have since imaginatively rearranged and renovated the accommodation transforming it into a contemporary interior, sensitively retaining all the period features including beamed ceilings, a bread oven, stone archways and stone detailing.
In 2013 the bespoke kitchen/ breakfast room was extended to provide a superb conservatory style dining room with bi-fold doors opening to a paved area and garden with overhang on oak supports, ideal for entertaining. The atmospheric sitting room, family room and study all have a lovely overlook either over the village square or the garden. The integral garage is converted into a self-contained kitchen on the ground floor (contents negotiable) and a studio/home office on the first floor is accessed by a spiral staircase.
On the first floor the bedrooms are arranged off a central gallery landing. The principal bedroom has a wide archway leading to the dressing area, overlooking the garden with lovely open views beyond. There are three further bedrooms, one with en suite bath/shower room and dressing area and a family bath/shower room.
The self contained barn lies adjacent to the house and is most attractively converted. The sitting room is full height with a stone fireplace and chimney breast. A mezzanine landing over the sitting room is used as a study. There is a fitted kitchen, bedroom with en suite wet room on the ground floor and on the first floor, approached over a staircase rising from the sitting room, is a further bedroom and interconnecting bathroom. Immediately outside The Barn, facing west, is a paved area and garden.
Church Farm is approached over a gravel drive off the lane, giving access to parking beside The Barn and the boot room/rear hall of the house. The gardens lie behind the house and have a superb open outlook, facing south and west, across farmland to the slopes of the Mendip Hills. The gardens are a delight. There are flagstone paved and decked areas, natural stone walls and archways, an expanse of lawn, deep shaped herbaceous borders, established shrubs, pergolas, sitting areas, and mature trees include a Magnolia, Walnut, and Horse Chestnut. A wisteria adorns part of the rear elevation. The southern boundary is bordered by an established Beech hedge.
Adjoining the garden to the west is an excellent and productive kitchen and soft fruit garden with irrigation system, which the current owner has cultivated in recent years. Beyond to the west and north is a lawn tennis court and small paddock. Adjoining is a heritage mixed orchard, which also has access from Frys lane.
Around the garden, are stone and tile outbuildings, garden stores, and a polytunnel.
In all the property extends to about 3.78 acres.

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

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. 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
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
