SITUATION Situated in the Blackdown Hills and despite its rural setting, the property is far from isolated and benefits from excellent accessibility. Junction 26 of the M5 motorway lies approximately 4.5 miles to the north, whilst the towns of Wellington and Taunton are both within easy reach, providing an extensive range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities, together with mainline rail links.
There are well-regarded primary schools in the nearby villages of Churchstanton and Hemyock, and the property falls within the catchment for the highly regarded Uffculme School as well as close to the prestigious Wellington School, Taunton School and Queens College. The village of Churchinford, approximately 3 miles to the south, offers a thriving community with a range of amenities including an award-winning public house, village shop with café, post office and active community groups. The surrounding countryside is particularly attractive and offers superb walking and riding opportunities via an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways.
DESCRIPTION Set within delightful gardens of approximately one third of an acre, this attractive and well-appointed single storey converted milking parlour offers light, spacious accommodation with a particularly appealing connection to its surroundings.
ACCOMMODATION A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a generous open-plan dining and reception area, enjoying delightful views over the gardens. Double French doors open directly onto an attractive patio, creating an ideal space for entertaining and al fresco dining. The sitting room is further enhanced by a substantial wood-burning stove, providing a warm and inviting focal point. The kitchen is fitted with a range of solid oak wall and base units with quartz worktops and is well equipped with Neff double ovens incorporating a steamer, a gas hob with extractor over, and space for appliances including a dishwasher, fridge and French doors open to the rear.

The property provides four double bedrooms. Three of which enjoy pleasant views over the gardens with the principal bedroom benefitting from a stylishly refitted en-suite shower room and French doors opening onto a terrace with steps leading down to the garden. A family bathroom, also recently refitted to a high standard, serves the remaining bedrooms.
OUTSIDE The gardens are a notable feature of the property, wrapping around the front and enjoying a high degree of privacy. A charming spring-fed stream cascades through the grounds, forming a pond and creating a tranquil setting that attracts an abundance of wildlife. This feature separates a large area of level lawn from the upper garden, which is planted with a variety of mature trees, shrubs and wildflowers. In addition, there is a productive vegetable garden and potting area, together with a substantial garden shed. The patio provides a central focal point from which to appreciate the surrounding landscape.
Located opposite the property, a large gravelled driveway provides ample parking for a number of vehicles and gives access to a double timber garage and adjoining barn. The barn, with an approximate internal height of 15 feet, is ideal for the storage of a motorhome or similar, and both buildings benefit from light, power and water. A useful wood store is situated to one end.
