Accommodation
The property was purchased in 1999 by the current owners, and lovingly restored to sympathetic and exacting standards creating a fabulous home which has been much loved ever since. It is charming and totally unique, enjoying arguably one of the most idyllic plots in all of Bruton. This is a home which could be lived in all year round, but equally would make an ideal countryside bolt-hole. In addition, the property could even be extended to create a larger home given the size of the surrounding grounds. Any extension would of course be subject to planning permission.
*
On the ground floor there is a stylish open plan kitchen dining and living room with stone tiled flooring, exposed beams, and a wood burning stove. The kitchen has fitted units with solid wood worktops, an electric Range cooker, and Belfast sink.A wood panelled staircase rises to two characterful double bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms both enjoy lovely outlooks and the bathroom has a bath, basin and w/c.
Outside
From Mill Dam, a gate opens into the gardens of the property where you are instantly greeted with a flourish of colour. Notably that of the flowering wisteria adorning the stone elevations. The gardens are an oasis with immense varieties of flowers and shrubs filling the grounds with meandering pathways in between. They gently roll down to Coombe Brook which runs along the entire length of the boundary, adding to the sensory experience. Outside the front door, there is a raised terrace enjoying a complete sun trap position. By the terrace there are several useful storage sheds and an outside loo. Away from the house, at the far end of the garden there is further scope to erect a studio, summer house or workshop, subject to the necessary permissions.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
