5 bedroom detached house

We are delighted to bring to the market this quite unique and stunning detached five bedroom country property. Nestled in excess of a third of an acre garden, in one of Somerset’s finest semi rural locations, Hastings Lodge is set back from a quiet country lane and fronted by a large gravelled drive with parking for several cars.


A large oak porch and door opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway. The property is immaculately presented having been creatively extended by the current owners to provide generous and versatile accommodation which is finished to a high specification throughout.
The expansive open plan living/dining/kitchen area is truly breathtaking. Benefiting from underfloor heating and a feature propane gas fire, the vaulted ceilings and fully glazed oak framed southerly elevation, has the feeling of a barn conversion, cleverly drawing the eye to the beautifully landscaped gardens and terrace and bringing the outside in.
With three double bedrooms on the ground floor, including the master en-suite, an additional shower room and wc, and a large utility room, the property has all the advantages of a single storey dwelling with the added benefit of two further double bedrooms upstairs, one with an ensuite and the other currently used as a study. Both enjoy stunning views to the rear.
Such is the scale and versatility of this house there is ample flexibility for those wishing to work from home. A truly outstanding property that will appeal to families and those looking for a life in the country surrounded by the best of Somerset’s countryside and excellent communication links.
