4 Bed Detached House, Planning Permission, Somerton, TA11 7HD £800,000

Outside This is where the property really comes into its own. The entire property totals c. 5 acres, which includes a 3-acre level grazing field, a large established orchard, a large pond and a large lawn. The level pasture would be ideal for equestrian purposes with outbuildings including three loose boxes, a hay store, a tack room and a second hay store. There is a separate gate to allow access for horse boxes and machinery, and it's worth noting the stables are in plain sight of the house for security purposes. There is an orchard of fruit trees including plum, apple, pear, quince and medlar. Behind the house is a walled garden with a grape vine and soft fruit bushes. What makes this property truly unique is a wildlife area consisting of a large pond with a jetty and a substantial area of mixed woodland - the perfect place for wildlife and wildlife lovers alike. There is also a small hill with seating, which creates an ideal vantage point to take in the views.
