Gardens and Grounds
Ivythorn Manor sits in the middle of its own beautiful gardens and grounds which extend to approximately 15 acres and provide a stunning setting for this magnificent property.
The house is approached via a no through lane accessed via a driveway surrounded by mature borders and trees which sweeps around to the front of the house providing complete privacy.
The gardens have been sympathetically designed to reflect the undulating landscape taking you on a journey of discovery.
To the north there is a formal garden surrounded by mature trees from which steps lead down to a grass avenue adorned with Laburnum and Maple. Further steps lead down to the bottom garden where there is the remnants of an old pond. Steps also lead up to another private garden which sits to the east behind the dovecote.
To the south of the house the grounds are mostly laid to lawn and fringed by trees that extend to the swimming pool.
Beyond the gardens to the west lies parkland and woodland which wraps around to the north of the house. In all about 15.77 acres.
Location
Ivythorn Manor lies on the south side of a small hamlet of Marshalls Elm about 1 ½ miles south of Street town centre in a semi-rural position. Street, a small town of Roman origins, offers a range of day to day amenities including shops, supermarkets, restaurants, bank and the Clarks Village outlet. It is also the home of Millfield School. Slightly further afield is the medieval town of Glastonbury steeped in history with its diverse array of shops and home to the world famous music festival.
Just 5 miles from Glastonbury is Wells which is the smallest city in England (population 10,000). Its centre is the marketplace (local markets twice a week) surrounded by many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace.
The region is renowned for its schools, both state and private, with Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, The Taunton and Bath schools, Kings Bruton, All Hallows and Downside all close by. For those seeking even more options, slightly further afield there are schools such as Port Regis, Hazelgrove, Canford, Bryanston and the Sherborne Schools.
Convenient transport links nearby include the A303 providing access to the South West and London via the M3. The M5 provides access to both Exeter, Bristol and beyond. Bristol and Exeter international airports are accessible by car.
For those preferring rail travel, the mainline train service to London Paddington is approximately 1hr 45 minutes and can be accessed via Castle Cary train station, about 13 miles away
