Description - Woolmersdon House is a beautifully presented Georgian property set elegantly in its well-maintained grounds overlooking the adjacent farm and the rolling hills of Somerset. The house was built circa 1780 and listed by English Heritage as a small country villa. It has superb grandeur and is adorned with Georgian elegance. The house has attractive period features throughout with high ceilings, large sash windows, cornicing and opening fireplaces.

The kitchen is well equipped with a range of units, integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher, butler sink, electric over, hob, extractor fan and tiled floors.

To the side of the house, accessed via an arched doorway is a secret garden with a landscaped lawn, patio area surrounded by boxed hedging proving an ideal place for summer dining and entertaining. To the rear of the house there is another spacious area of landscaped lawns with established flower beds and hedging providing privacy. To the front of the house the land is well fenced and level. One field is arable crop, and there is a further fenced paddock that provides an excellent grazing area. The land extends to approximately 7.36 acres.
