DESCRIPTION The Old Farmhouse is a magnificent Grade II listed detached farmhouse boasting a great deal of original character and charm around every corner and is beautifully presented throughout. Situated in the heart of this community driven village, the property is just a short stroll from amenities including the farm shop/café and the village pub. Nestled within delightful and easy to manage wraparound gardens, the substantial accommodation spans over three floors extending in all to some 3,730 sq.ft.

The farmhouse dates back to 1650 and the accommodation features many original period features including a wide-plank staircase, exposed stone walling, timber trusses, timber window shutters and delightful window seats throughout. On the ground floor, the principal accommodation comprises a large kitchen/breakfast room and three reception rooms whilst there is also a useful utility room and downstairs shower room, perfect for countryside living. The kitchen features flagstone flooring with well-fitted custom timber units, a large island unit with induction hob while there is also a built-in fridge, dishwasher, and electric oven in addition to a country style oil-fired Watson within the breakfast area. Adjoining the kitchen is the formal dining room which leads to the generous living room complete with wood-burning stove within an inglenook fireplace making this a cosy room for the winter months. To the side, a further reception room has been fitted with extensive shelving fitted as a library and offers space for a playroom, study or even a ground floor bedroom. The accommodation flows from room to room superbly and in summer months a courtyard patio terrace becomes an alfresco reception room ideal for hosting guests taking full advantage of the sunny orientation. Upstairs and on the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom which is well-equipped with a central bath and separate shower unit. The principal bedroom suite is located on the first floor and features a very impressive high vaulted beamed ceiling and further benefits from fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room which has just been updated. Adjoining this principal bedroom there is a versatile room which is currently utilised as a dressing room and equally offers space for a nursery or home office. Currently, bedroom three is fitted as a large home-office. The exposed trussed top floor is an excellent self-sufficient wing comprising two further double bedrooms and a shower room. This second floor is an excellent addition for children to explore with characterful low doorways while it equally appeals to teenagers wanting their own space. There is a cellar below accessed via stone steps and is well-ventilated with the rare addition of a window.

Externally, The Old Farmhouse has a rear driveway sweeping through a five-bar timber gate to a large tree-lined gravelled area which provides a generous amount of private parking for numerous vehicles. There are several external stone-built storerooms offering a great deal of storage. In addition to the wonderful patio terrace, there are two lawned terraces and a front garden which is beautifully landscaped in keeping with the quintessential and picturesque frontage planted with roses.

The property is available with no onward chain, and for such a large property to benefit from a low-maintenance exterior the property appeals to a range of buyers from those looking for a village community to those seeking a second home with excellent road networks to the M4, Bath and Bristol.
