Set in gardens and grounds of 1.4 acres, the property enjoys a peaceful and secluded location about 1/4 mile from the centre of the thriving village of Combe St. Nicholas on the southern edge of the Blackdown Hills AONB. Local amenities include a shop/post office, busy community hall, primary school and 'bus service, whilst the traditional market towns of Chard and Ilminster are both about 4 miles distant catering for most everyday needs. The county town of Taunton is some 10 miles to the north with intercity rail service and easy access to the M5 motorway (J25). The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is within about 40 minutes drive at Lyme Regis with its iconic Cobb and harbour.

From the public highway the property is approached through electric gates that lead to a wide paved courtyard and substantial range of outbuildings including a triple garage block with super-fast EV charger, loft room over, workshop and attached stabling which is plumbed and currently used for storage and an outside toilet. The gardens and grounds offer a high degree of privacy, largely informal with paved terracing, lawns, apple orchard, small paddock and area of "wild flower" garden. In all these extend to an estimated 1.4 acres.
