Situated in the heart of the glorious Somerset countryside, Grove House is an elegant detached family home of some note. Believed to date from the 18th century, further additions were made and this wonderful family house now offers approximately 3000 sq. ft of accommodation set in glorious grounds. Adjacent to the main house is a pretty two storey annex - the upper floor is currently let but could be used as additional accommodation or a party barn. Grove House and its grounds are more than just a house – the impression is much more one of a small private and secluded estate, occupying an enviable position on the edge of the picturesque village of Baltonsborough.
The house is approached via an attractive drive that meanders beneath a canopy of mature trees to a pretty gravelled area with parking for several cars. A spacious hall replete with oak beams and a fine oak staircase leads to fabulous sitting room that features a stone built extension, defined by six glorious arched windows that allow natural light to flood into the room. Once again, oak beams straddle the ceiling and exposed natural stone is offset with a timber roof and an oak floor underfoot. The views of the garden are fabulous. The dining room is charming and comes with oak panelling on the walls and french doors that lead directly to a terrace outside. The kitchen is comfortable and the perfect place for informal dining. A four oven aga warms the room and an engineered oak floor complements contemporary units lit with recessed lighting. There is ample space for a kitchen table and chairs. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom off the hall and a spacious utility room with boot room at the rear of the house.
Stairs rise from the main hall to the first floor and opens to a landing area that in turn leads to two bedrooms served by a ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. A fifth bedroom with en suite bathroom is accessed via the fourth bedroom which in turns leads to a magnificent studio. The bedrooms are spacious, and some come with built in wardrobes and cupboards – all have beautiful views of the gardens. The bathrooms are furnished with traditional fixtures and fittings and heated chrome towel rails. The studio is a fabulous and versatile room and can be accessed via its own entrance – there is significant scope to use this space as a self-contained annex along with the fifth bedroom and its en suite bathroom.
The Annex
Adjacent to the house is a really pretty, stone built two-storey building. The ground floor acts as two garages and a store room whilst the first floor has been converted into stylish living accommodation with timber beams that soar to the apex of the ceiling. Doors open to a south facing terrace with stunning views of the gardens and the countryside beyond. With its own kitchenette and shower room, this is an ideal space to let out or to use as additional accommodation or a party barn.
Outside
Perhaps the most charming features of Grove house are the magnificent and varied grounds that surround it. To the front of the house are well manicured and extensive lawns that run to the boundary of the property. A superb Victorian red brick wall marks the Northern boundary and stretches to the east and to two fenced paddocks. A variety of fruit trees pepper the landscape whilst a babbling brook flows through the gardens. A seasoned stone terrace at the front of the house offers the perfect setting for a summer barbeque and surveys an array of mature trees that include an oak, ash and copper beech. An impressive collection of outbuildings include several stables, and a charming dovecot. In all, the gardens offer total privacy and seclusion and are truly a haven of peace and tranquillity.
