About the area Huxham is an idyllic small, rural hamlet of just a few farmhouses, barns and cottages with no through traffic. It lies well away from busy roads but with good access to Wells and the surrounding towns including Bruton, Glastonbury, Street and Castle Cary. Description The historic courtyard of Huxham Farm, built in the mid-1800s, was purchased by the current owners in 2003 and converted into handsome dwellings shortly after. Many of the period features have been retained, such as beams and attractive stonework as well as the cobbles to the front, preserving the agricultural heritage of the buildings.  There are 4 houses grouped together, and all have their own unique characteristics, they all benefit from shared communal areas. Accommodation An imposing oak porch shelters the front door which opens to a stunning, double height hall with galleried landing above. To the left is a striking triple aspect sitting room, with timber floors, a wood burning stove and French doors out to the south facing garden. To the right the dual aspect kitchen/diner opens up with plenty of space for a table and chairs. A range of fitted, shaker style units, with wooden worksurface has space for a dishwasher and there is an electric 6 ring range cooker with extractor above.  Built in cupboards conceal the boiler and further storage and an exterior door opens to the rear courtyard and garden. Beyond the kitchen the fabulous dining hall has large, attractive, French doors which open to the front, cobbled courtyard and a second staircase rises to the first floor. It would be possible to open the back of this room to the rear courtyard as this area was originally an open loading bay forming a passage for large agricultural vehicles. 2 further reception rooms/bedrooms, a utility/boot room and a cloakroom are located beyond the dining hall. The scale of this property and the two staircases means this north end could become a self-contained annexe if required. There is a second cloakroom in the main hall. Upstairs many of the rooms have vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The 2 large bedrooms at either end of the property have ensuites, one is a bathroom and the other a shower room. There are 2 additional bedrooms upstairs, a family bathroom and a large, versatile landing area, with French doors to a balcony overlooking the courtyard.  To the north of the house, a driveway sweeps past a fenced paddock on the left (circa. 0.22 acres) to a parking space for 2 cars in front of a timber, double carport on the right. The paddock, parking and carport are included in the sale. A communal path leads between two other properties, through an arch, to the front of the house. Adjacent to the house is a lawned, south facing, walled garden with floral borders. The garden leads to the rear of the house where there is a private, paved courtyard which continues to a private, enclosed, lawned garden which would be an ideal kitchen garden or children’s play area.
