A contemporary extension with state of the art, high specification, glass, frameless, concertina doors which retract with seamless style, open the inside up to the out making the most of the incredible views to the south over pastures to the Polden Hills. The whole of the house has been updated (2024) to a high specification with modern comforts such as under floor heating, a new oil-fired boiler and oil tank (compliant), new, compliant drainage system, hand built – Kingston by Design kitchen with ash, painted doors and quartz worksurface, plus Appollo, column radiators, oak ledge and brace internal doors and a real attention to detail combines to create an exceptional 21st century home in a magnificent setting. As with most country houses the entrance most frequently used it at the side of the property, in this case on the east, closest to the driveway. The door opens to a boot room which has plenty of space for coats and boots. Ceramic wood-effect floor tiles give timeless and practical continuity through to the kitchen/living room/dining room.  The kitchen is a fabulous, open plan, contemporary space with magnificent, high specification floor to ceiling glass doors which have been designed to not need a corner pillar, offering seamless opening to the terrace and garden beyond. The kitchen units are an attractive sage colour with a pale quartz worksurface. The configuration of wall and base units and a handsome peninsula, with breakfast bar, provide plenty of storage and there are integrated appliances including a dishwasher, full height fridge/freezer, drinks fridge, 2x eyelevel ovens, a 6 ring, induction hob and extractor plus a double Belfast sink and attractive glazed wall units with under unit lights, add sparkle. The living/dining area is a versatile space which can be arranged to suit your needs, there is plenty of space for a sofa and a dining table and chairs. A log burning stove and under floor heating ensure this large room always feels cosy. The wall of glass, sliding doors offers dramatic and ever-changing views over the surrounding farmland. Beyond the boot room is a utility room with fitted units, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, an oak worksurface and a double ceramic sink. All illuminated by a window to the north with views of the Mendip Hills. The new oil boiler is also located in the utility room. A door leads through to a rear hallway which could be used as a study or gym. This also has a large north facing window on the right, to the left is a cosy sitting room which has a traditional inglenook fireplace with ancient beam and bread oven and attractive wood burning stove as a focal point. This enchanting room takes you back 200 years and it is in stark contrast to the modernity of the kitchen extension, which brings the charms of both into sharper focus. There are two inset, painted timber seats, one is a window seat, which looks south over the garden and a door opens to the enclosed front porch which has previously been used as a study, from here an exterior door leads out to the garden. Beside the sitting room there is study/snug which can double as guest accommodation (sofa bed) and it has an ornate, wrought iron fireplace as a focal point.

The house is approached through a timber farm gate over a cattle grid. The tarmac drive proceeds for 300mts to the property, turning into a gravel drive which opens in front of the new garage building to provide parking for several vehicles. An expansive lawned garden to the south of the property offers plenty of scope for keen gardeners, and a porcelain, paved terrace surrounds the new kitchen extension.
