Entering the property you walk into a light and airy reception hall with a bespoke steel and oak staircase rising to the first floor. The exterior design of this property is not the only unique feature here, as the layout is also flipped; the bedrooms are located on the ground floor and the main living area above. Within the kitchen dining living room there are top-specification solid oak units and quartz worktops by the local company James Ellis Designs. Integrated within there is a full height drinks cupboard, a double oven with microwave combination function and warming drawer, induction hob, dishwasher, and fridge freezer. The room extends to the full length of the building with double sliding doors opening onto a generous balcony with stairs leading down to the garden. The west elevation houses a pair of tri-fold doors opening up to draw in the beautiful rural views. Also on the first floor there is a cloakroom and eaves storage. 

On the ground floor, there are four double bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suite shower rooms and there is a separate family bathroom. Each of the bedrooms enjoys cracking views through French doors, which are often treated with wildlife visitors including deer, hares, rabbits, pheasants, red kites and buzzards to name a few, in addition to the resident livestock too! The master bedroom takes in a lovely dual aspect of the surrounding fields with French doors opening out to a private terrace. The shower rooms in both of the master and guest bedrooms are as luxurious as they come with unique porcelain tiling, Vado sanitary wear and rainfall shower heads. 

Versatility within the accommodation is also offered as the sitting room downstairs can also be utilised as further sleeping quarters or as a tv room/reception room. Completing the ground floor, there is a utility room, cloakroom and a plant room.

About the area

Lottisham is a delightful quiet Hamlet surrounded in wonderful countryside and close to the larger villages of Baltonsborough and West Lydford. The property sits on the quiet outskirts of the hamlet with immediate access out to wonderful local countryside with many footpaths and bridleways within a short walk from the house.

The thriving village of Baltonsborough is close by and has a church, primary school, village hall, pub, and winery. The village also has a very friendly community with a number of societies and organisations. 

Further south is Lydford which has a mini supermarket/petrol station and another superb pub - The Cross Keys Inn.

Other villages close by include West Pennnard, Butleigh, Lovington and Keinton Mandeville which all offer ample amenities and facilities including several primary schools, an award winning bakery (Levitos in Lovington), pubs and village stores. There are excellent state and independent schools in the wider area including Millfield, Hazelgrove, Downside, All Hallows, Wells Blue School, Strode College, Wells Cathedral School, Ansford and the Bruton schools.

On the outskirts of the nearby town of Castle Cary (15 minutes) is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington, and the A37 just a two minute drive away provides access south to the A303 for London and the Southwest and north to Bristol and Bath. Castle Cary is characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey coloured stone for which the area is well known. It remains a delightful small market town with a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development.

“The Newt in Somerset” just outside Castle Cary is home to beautiful countryside walks set in the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate there are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and house & garden shop. Due to the property’s close proximity to The Newt, residents enjoy local membership at a great discount. Another benefit of living in Lottisham is access to local resale tickets of the world renowned Glastonbury Festival which greatly increases chances of securing tickets.

Bruton is located 3 miles north west of Castle Cary, it dates back to Roman times and today is a charming small town with various shops and amenities, including the ‘Hauser & Wirth’ Art & Exhibition Gallery, ‘The Roth Bar & Grill’, the Michelin starred 'Osip', the ever popular dining experience ‘At The Chapel’, and of course an excellent choice of schools including King's School and Sexey's School.
