A unique opportunity to acquire this sizeable 4 bedroom detached village residence with parking, large garden, countryside views, endless potential and occupying a prime positon in the ever sought after village of Broadway. No onward Chain.


A rare opportunity to acquire this spacious and imposing 4 bedroom detached property with double garage, large garden and situated in the ever exclusive Hare Lane in the village of Broadway. In brief, the property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, WC, kitchen, utility and store room to the ground floor with four bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. Although now in need of general updating and modernising, Copperfield provides the perfect blank canvas on which to stamp one’s own design aspirations and with nearly 1,900 sq ft of accommodation, there is plenty of space from which to do so. The sitting room takes in the views over the hills and also benefits from an open fire-place, making it a lovely setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. Beyond this is the dining room which is a great space for formal entertaining and has doors leading out onto the gardens, seamlessly uniting inside with out. The kitchen is well-fitted with plenty of workspace and further complemented by a store area and separate utility. There is a good size double garage which, subject to the necessary consents, could be integrated into further accommodation. There are three double bedrooms and a single to the first floor with the master benefitting from a large ensuite with both a bath and shower whilst the remaining bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom. It should be noted the single bedroom would make an excellent study for those needing to work from home. The size, potential and plot of Copperfield make it a rare find and we would strongly encourage families and those looking for idyllic village life to view.

Broadway together with its sister village of Horton form a very active community with facilities which include a Post Office/stores, primary school, doctors surgery, village halls, churches, two popular village inns. To the south west lie the Blackdown Hills designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty providing excellent opportunities for those with country interests. The larger busy market town of Ilminster lies less than three miles to the east, providing a range of facilities fulfilling most day to day needs with a variety of shops including a Tesco store, a medical centre, various churches and schools. The village is well placed for access to the County town of Taunton 10 miles with its comprehensive facilities, including shops, schools within both the state and independent sectors, a theatre, county cricket ground, race course and mainline station (London Paddington), Chard 5 miles, Axminster and Crewkerne with mainline stations (London Waterloo) 9 miles, Yeovil 15 miles and the South Coast 18.

The property is approached by a large driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles as well as access to the double garage. There is a small front garden, and from the southerly aspect, there are tremendous views over the local farm land and rolling Somerset hills beyond. The main gardens can be found to the rear and are laid to lawn. A hedge borders the first part of the garden providing privacy and an enclosed environment for those with children and/or pets whilst beyond this is a further area of garden complemented by apple trees, mature shrubs and a shed. It’s a wonderful blank canvas for keen gardeners, and an enchanting setting for alfresco dining and sitting out in the warmer months.
