11 bedroom house

The Manor House dates back to the early 1700s, and whilst requiring some updating, it is charming, with a warm atmosphere, well proportioned reception rooms and comfortable ceiling heights. There are period features including flagstone floors, beamed ceilings, and window seats.

At ground floor level, 3 west facing reception rooms, all with open fireplaces overlook the Mendip Hills. The breakfast kitchen has fitted painted units and integrated appliances, with an outlook over the land to the south, the outbuildings and countryside. Completing the floor is the utility room, boot room and WC.

The first floor comprises 3 bedrooms (1 ensuite) and a family bathroom with separate WC. The second floor provides 4 further bedrooms. On the landing there was once a connection to The Cheese Barn (lot 2) which could easily be re-instated to combine the two properties.

Outside, The Manor House is approached through a 5 bar gate to a large concrete courtyard, around which are a range of outbuildings including a detached building with 2 stables with loft above and a single storey building comprising 2 stables. A second yard with a stone building provides scope for further stabling.

There is 3,746 sq ft of agricultural buildings comprising 6 bay open fronted store and adjoining hay store and workshop. 3 paddocks laid to pasture lie to the south, east and north of the house with access either off Butts Batch or the entrance courtyard.

The garden is walled with level lawn, flower borders and mature trees, with stunning views over the adjoining land to the Mendip Hills.

The adjoining Cheese Barn is a contemporary and well presented property which has been carefully designed with the living accommodation on the first floor to take advantage of its spectacular view of the Mendip Hills.

On the ground floor the entrance hall has an exposed stone wall and a staircase rises to a gallery landing. An inner hall leads to three bedrooms, bathroom and utility room.

The first floor has an impressive open plan 37' breakfast kitchen/dining/sitting room with a vaulted ceiling, 2 exposed roof trusses and exposed stone wall making it an excellent room for entertaining. In the sitting area, French windows open to a Juliet balcony and the dining area has a log burning stove. The well fitted kitchen has an island desk style unit, and integrated appliances. To the other end of the room is the study / bedroom 4 with ensuite shower room.

The Cheese Barn is approached through a 5 bar farm gate leading to a generous gravel parking area. The garden has a superb open view of the Mendip Hills and adjoins farmland. The garden is laid to lawn and is low maintenance with decking strategically placed to take advantage of the view. Adjoining the garden is a small paddock.

Outbuildings include a 31' stone and tile outbuilding with vaulted roof and exposed timbers and adjoining 3 bay open fronted stone store with a cat slide tile roof and decking in front.

The properties totals in all about 7.59 acres.
