SITUATION Lawford is a small hamlet around 11 miles north of Taunton, set in attractive countryside between the Quantock and Brendon Hills. The house enjoys lovely views of the Quantock Hills area which is an area of outstanding natural beauty, where many beautiful footpaths and bridleways can be found. The village of Crowcombe offers a good pub, primary school, 2 village halls and a village store which is community run.
