5 bedroom detached house for sale

An immaculately presented and beautifully appointed detached house standing on a plot of 0.61 acres.

Honeystone House was built in the early 1990s to an individual design, featuring Blue Lias elevations to all four sides. Internally, this immaculately presented property is highly specified, offering generous five bedroom/two bathroom accommodation arranged over ground and first floors. The property has been the subject of considerable expenditure in the last two years, resulting in a future purchaser being able to acquire a fine home offered for sale in first class order.

The principle rooms on the ground floor are the large, dual aspect sitting room and the fabulous kitchen/breakfast room that features numerous integrated Siemens appliances as well as a large island unit that has under counter bar stool space.
The first floor offers five bedrooms, one currently used as an additional study, and two bath/shower rooms, one of which is ensuite to the main bedroom.

This truly immaculate home is highly recommended for viewing.

Please note that the owners have declared that the house flooded in 2023/2024, after an exceptional storm in the Cam Valley, and was subject to an insurance claim. The current insurance premium has not been heavily affected and, for the current year, is £985. In order to mitigate future problems, much work has been undertaken within the village to improve the outflow of the river. The owners have also installed a comprehensive suite of bespoke flood barriers, purchased in 2025.

Honeystone House is tucked away off the village road, offering quick commuter links via the recently enhanced A303. The village itself has a public house, village hall and a parish church.

The neighbouring village of Queen Camel has a modern doctors’ surgery together with a convenience store and primary school.
Yeovil, Sherborne Castle Cary and Bruton are all within easy striking distance with train services to both London Waterloo and Paddington.

Honeystone House sits on a stunning plot extending to 0.61 acres, which is an unusual feature of properties of this age.

The house itself is set back from Fore Street by way of an enclosed front garden and a gated driveway providing off road parking.
Attached to the house is a double garage that houses the oil fired boiler and also provides space for further electrical appliances and offers a direct link into the house.

There are pathways to both sides of the house, one containing the oil storage tank and opens to the rear garden immediately behind the house. This is of a manageable size and features separate paved areas allowing for sun shelter at different times of the day. One lovely feature is an extensive trellis that has a productive vine together with climbing roses. The rear garden faces south and will therefore benefit from the majority of daily sunshine.

Beyond the formal garden is a beautiful meadow that contains a variety of mature specimen trees in addition to fruit trees, a vegetable growing area with greenhouse, and a separate large timber shed with light and power.
