The house is a charming example of a farmhouse of the period and is built of local stone with red brick detailing around the windows, is partially rendered and has a slate roof. It also has a pretty, first floor oriel window on one gable end. It was bought by the current owners in 2016 and was then gutted and completely refurbished.
Today it is immaculately presented and has many characterful architectural fittings including flagstone floors throughout much of the ground floors, inglenook fireplaces fitted with wood-burning stove in the drawing and sitting rooms, several window seats and a beautiful farmhouse-style kitchen, which opens directly into the adjacent dining room. The house is L-shaped with the older, larger part containing the house's three reception room facing east and west. This means that the house captures the best of the available daylight throughout the day and, with pale tones used to decorate the interior, it has an open, light and airy feeling throughout.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of units under quartz composite work surfaces, built-in electric appliances, two-oven electric Rayburn, separate electric Smeg cooker and a double Belfast sink. It also has a wide, south-facing bay window seat with views out across the grounds and surrounding countryside.
Upstairs there are a total of five double bedrooms, all with fantastic views, and four bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom is wonderfully light with windows on two sides and has a separate en suite dressing room and en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom and another bedroom have en suite shower rooms and the two remaining bedrooms share the family bath and shower room.
Outbuildings, garden and grounds
Accessed via twin electric timber gates, Brewers' long drive leads to an extensive gravel parking area in front and to one side of the house. Beside it is a large garage block incorporating three garages with solid oak double access doors and which could potentially be converted for annexe/holiday use, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. One of the garages also encompasses a side workshop area. Facing the house are an attractive, brick-built office/gym and a double timber-built car port.
The garden is level and designed to be easily maintained and consists of lawns and areas of paving and timber decking. These include a deep, brick-paved terrace fringing the front of the house and a large, paved terrace (30ft x 21ft / 9.5m x 6.5m) in the centre of the front lawn, which provides a wonderful outside dining and seating area. On either side of the house and garden is a paddock enclosed by stock-proof fencing and field hedging dotted with mature broadleaf trees.
In all the garden, grounds and pasture extend to about 4.01 acres (1.62 hectares). The larger of the two paddocks has separate vehicle access.
Brewers is situated amidst beautiful, open countryside in the widespread agricultural community of Blackmoor, short distance from West Buckland, a thriving village with a parish church, village hall and primary school (Ofsted rated Good). The nearby town of Wellington can meet most day to day needs with a good range of shops including a Waitrose supermarket plus a variety of local businesses and facilities. Taunton, the county town of Somerset, is also within easy reach.
The area has good transport links too. Taunton also has regular, direct rail services to Bristol Temple Meads (52 minutes) and Paddington (1 hour 39 minutes. Junction 26 on the M5 is a three-minute drive and Exeter and Bristol Airports are both easily accessible offering connections within the UK and to many international destinations.
The area has a wide choice of schools from both the state and independent sectors. Good schools within a reasonable driving distance include Blundells in Tiverton and the schools in Taunton; Taunton School, King's and Queen's Colleges, King's Hall Preparatory School and Richard Huish College (Ofsted rated Outstanding).
