Garden and Grounds
Designed to originally provide carriages with convenient access to and from the house, the drive is double ended approaching both from the east and the south, with a turning ellipse immediately in front of the house.
The gardens and residential grounds extend all the way around the house and are primarily lawned with areas of hard and soft landscaping and incorporating a walled garden behind the stable block, woodland and a hard surfaced tennis court, which requires resurfacing.
The walled garden, which is enclosed by high walls of red sandstone, is also Grade II listed. Pasture divided into four paddocks and enclosed by post and rail fencing extends primarily outwards from the garden to the south, south east and west, with a fourth, smaller paddock in the north west corner adjacent to the tennis court. In all, the grounds extend to about 20.41 acres (8.26 hectares), of which the garden and additional area around the house and outbuildings is about 2.91 acres (1.18 hectares).
Woodlands is situated amidst unspoilt countryside in the lee of the appropriately named Woodlands Hill and within the Quantock AONB. It is about half a mile as the crow flies from the small village of Holford, which sits astride the A39 and is a vibrant community with a parish church, village hall and popular pub (The Plough Inn Tripadvisor 4.5). It also has a thriving cricket club and bowling green.
The neighbouring village of Kilve has an adjacent beach overlooking the Bristol Channel and a premier convenience store for emergencies. Most day to day needs can be met in the large market town of Bridgwater, which with a population of over 41,000 has an excellent choice of shops and businesses.
Local transport links are good too. Bridgwater has a mainline train station with direct services to Exeter, Bristol and London Paddington and the train from Taunton to London Paddington is fantastic and only takes 1 hour and 40 minutes. Junctions 23 and 24 on the M5 are both 25 minutes away and Bristol Airport in under an hour. The wider area also has a good selection of schools from both the state and independent sectors.
