Description
Introducing Brookside Farm... a simply stunning small-holding located in the beautiful and picturesque Hamlet of Fordgate, close to Bridgwater.
Set on approx 3.5 acres in a gorgeous rural Hamlet, Brookside Farm originally dates back to the 1950's as a working dairy farm. The current owners have beautifully restored and renovated the original two bedroom bungalow to the highest of standards throughout, but have still kept some original features such as the Aga Cooker. The bungalow itself comprises in brief a living room, kitchen, dining room, two double bedrooms, bathroom and a further WC. The property could also easily be extended both to the rear and into the loft to create more living space for a growing family.
Within the 3.5 acres of land, the current sellers have restored the original farm buildings/stables to run their Luxury Dog Retreat - doggy day care & overnight boarding (which is also available to purchase) but could also easily be converted into stables, offices, whatever the buyer requires.
An additional detached field approx. 3 acres is also available to buy, but not included in the asking price
Brookside Farm is set in the beautiful Somerset countryside in a rural, yet accessible location within the hamlet of Fordgate. There are an array of excellent canal walks and hacking trails directly from the property. About 6 miles away from the property are the Quantock Hills, which were England’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area also offers many opportunities for outdoor pursuits and with the surrounding coastline providing superb recreational opportunities. Local facilities maybe found at the small town of North Petherton and Bridgwater some 3 miles distant. The County town of Taunton has a mainline rail link to London Paddington. International airports can be found at Bristol and Exeter being both within a 45 minute drive.
