About the Area.
Situated just above the popular village of Leigh on Mendip the property is in close proximity to the centre of the village (0.5 miles) where there is a pub, primary school and active community. It is situated in a rural position within the Somerset countryside with many footpaths and bridleways nearby. The village lies between the cities of Wells (12 miles), Bristol (23 miles), Bath (15 miles) and the bustling town of Frome (3 miles) with a wide range of cultural, sporting and commercial facilities. There are excellent state and independent schools including a number of local primary schools, Writhlington, Norton Hill, All Hallows, Downside, Wells Cathedral, Millfield and the Bath schools. The much renowned Babington House is a short drive away, as are The Newt and The Pig. There is a frequent train service from Bath Spa (for Paddington) and Westbury and Frome (For Waterloo) to London. Bristol international Airport is also within commuter distance providing an ever-expanding network of services.
The property adjoins Knapp Hill Lane, which is part of a wider network of country lanes which eventually lead to the A37 or A36.
