This handsome and imposing house, thought to date, in parts, from the early 1700’s, has been adapted, through the ages to create versatile accommodation over two floors. The almost symmetrical frontage, with delightful, ornate windows, hints at the evolution of this fascinating property. Attractive features such as oak doors, shutters, flagstone floors, stair panelling and an elegant, sweeping handrail, weave together to create a truly unique and welcoming home. The mature gardens offer great privacy and a fabulous, elevated vantage point from which to observe the hustle and bustle of village life whilst you relax and enjoy the far-reaching views over rooftops to the Mendips beyond.
