Luggards Cross Farm

Luggards Cross Farm is situated against a most attractive wooded backdrop of Tickenham Hill with views to the south toward the Mendip Hills over its grounds. The farm house is believed to date from the 1800's. The present owner's family have lived there for about 39 years. Over the years, the cottage has been upgraded and both the house and outbuildings were rewired in 2019, and a new gas boiler installed in 2016. There is a range of stone and tile outbuildings arranged around a rear concrete courtyard, offering tremendous scope to convert into a home offices and holidays lets, and the house has potential to build above the kitchen and also to convert the spacious attic, all subject to any necessary planning permissions.

The sitting room is a most atmospheric room with large stone fireplace fitted with a log burning stove. The sitting room and dining room both overlook the front garden as does the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of units and a range style cooker. There is a rear entrance porch, off which is a large store room. On the first floor are three bedrooms, and the former bathroom is now fitted as a shower room, installed in recent years.

Outbuildings: The attractive, mainly stone and tile, outbuildings all have electricity connected, and are grouped around a rear concrete courtyard. They include: A stone building with home office potential, subject to any planning consent, with an adjoining stone and tile outbuilding with stable door and flagstone floor. Adjacent, is a large stone and tile outbuilding with double timber doors with a step down to workshop/store, and an adjoining stable with stable door. Integrated within this building is a generous size log/wood store, accessed from outside the courtyard.

Adjoining the cottage is a utility/boiler room with Belfast sink, a separate outside w.c. and a former stone and tile pig sty with small enclosure. Outside the courtyard, there are two large, open sided shelters, each with a modern corrugated iron style roof on steel frames, and a timber garden shed. A further detached stone and tile outbuilding, with double timber doors, lies in the parking area, at the entrance.

Gardens and grounds: The property is approached over a long drive giving access to a large enclosed gravel car parking area for a number of cars and horse boxes. A pedestrian path leads from the car park, between the lawns, to the front of the house. The gardens and grounds lie in front of the house and outbuildings and are laid principally to large expanses of lawns part bounded by stone walls. The lawns are interspersed by a variety of trees including Flowering Cherry, Maple, Apple, Pear and Walnut. In addition, there is an ornamental hollow wrought iron sphere adorned with a Wisteria. The front garden offers scope to create a small paddock, or enclosures. In the corner of the paddock there are two converted shipping containers which are currently used for the extra storage. In all the property extends to about 1.75 acres.
