4 bedroom house

Sedgemoor Barn is a picturesque house situated in Egford, a small hamlet to the west of Frome. Set in the midst of the rolling Somerset countryside, it is a rural idyl yet just a stone's throw away from Frome and all the amenities that this popular market town has to offer. It is presented in superb condition throughout. Built in 1986, this pretty family house sits entirely in its own grounds and is blessed with stunning gardens that stretch away to Egford Brook and the East Mendip way that lies on its boundary.



The house is approached via an attractive Cotswold stone driveway that opens to garaging and offers ample parking for several cars. In everyday use is a door that opens directly to the kitchen, whilst the main front door leads to a fine hall and stairs to the first floor. The kitchen/sitting room is a wonderfully warm and inviting space – the farmhouse style kitchen itself is luxuriously furnished with units that extend beneath fine granite work tops and incorporate a variety of integrated appliances - a traditional Belfast sink, an enormous range cooker and a beautiful limestone floor complete the picture. - the sitting room that combines with the kitchen is extremely comfortable with an exposed timber floor and double doors that lead directly to the garden beyond. A wood burner warms the room from one corner. Off the hall is a magnificent drawing room, elegantly furnished and also with double doors to the garden - natural light pours in through triple aspect windows. Finishing the ground floor is a cloakroom and a well-equipped utility room perfectly situated off the kitchen and with space for all the usual amenities.



Upstairs are four spacious double bedrooms, (the primary one has an en-suite bathroom and built in wardrobes) and a family bathroom. Every room is immaculate, and all come with stunning views of the gardens. The bathrooms are appointed with traditional fixtures and fittings and heated towel rails.



Outside

Sedgemoor Barn is set in approximately half an acre of stunning gardens. A seasoned stone terrace sits in the shade of a beautiful clematis with a glorious wisteria running across the length of the rear of the house – this is the perfect place to enjoy a summer’s evening. A copper beech hedge stretches alongside a magnificent lawn that sweeps away from the house and dips to the boundary beyond. Enriching the garden is a sizeable pond sheltered by a weeping willow and surrounded by shrubs – a variety of mature trees pepper the landscape. A summerhouse with a small veranda enjoys uninterrupted views of the countryside and is truly a haven of peace and tranquillity. To the front of the house is garaging plus further parking.



Situation

Sedgemoor Barn sits in an enviable position at the end of a private road. Close by is Great Elm, an historic village approximately 2 miles to the North West of Frome and 17 miles south of Bath. The Macmillan Way long-distance path passes through the village and there are ample opportunities for walking and cycling along converted railway lines and alongside the Mells river. Local amenities include Babington House, (Soho House’s country mansion), the upmarket pub, the Talbot Inn, and a village shop and post office both 5 minutes away in Mells. Nearby, Frome is one of the South West's leading market towns and was recently featured in the Sunday Times as the best place to live in Somerset. It has become a "foodie hipster haven" due to the influx of young families, with St Catherine's Hill at the centre of the artisan quarter. The town has a comprehensive choice of retail outlets and all the usual amenities. Founded in 2013, the "Frome Independent" is an award winning independent street market that is held on the first Sunday of every month and attracts 80,000 people a year.



Local primary schools include Mells C of E first school, Leigh on Mendip first school and Stoke St Michael Primary. There is an excellent choice of Independent schools that include All Hallows, Downside, the Bath schools as well as Bruton School for Girls, Sexeys and King's School in Bruton.



Transport links are good with a railway station in Frome that connects to Westbury and from there to London Paddington or the South West.
