A utility room and cloakroom provide additional practicality. First Floor The first floor features four generously sized double bedrooms, each filled with natural light. The principal bedroom includes built-in storage and detailed plasterwork on the ceiling, while bedroom 2 has an adjoining space, ideal for a dressing room or en-suite conversion.

The property is set back from the public highway and occupies a rural location at the end of a long private drive.

The village lies some 2 miles to the west of Bridgwater and local amenities can be found at nearby Cannington, which hosts a number of local pubs, butchers, post office, garage to name but a few. The county town of Taunton is approximately 11 miles to the south west and can be reached over the hills.

The town also has a mainline train station and a direct line can be found from Taunton to London Paddington. Many rural pursuits can be enjoyed in the nearby countryside including fishing at Hawkridge Reservoir, sailing at Durleigh and golf at Enmore golf club. The area is renowned for public schooling with Kings Taunton and Queens being located in the county town and Brymore School more locally.

Grounds & Outbuildings Set within approximately 3-acres, the farmhouse enjoys mature gardens, an orchard and a tennis court, all offering scope for restoration and enhancement. A traditional barn adjacent to the house benefits from planning permission for conversion into a one bedroom annexe (Planning Ref: 13/20/00029), providing options for guest accommodation, multigenerational living or a home office. A private driveway leads to a generous parking area, partially enclosed by established trees, ensuring both privacy and an attractive approach. The farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire an historic yet well-maintained country home, with further potential to personalise and enhance.

Please note that an additional barn and land is available via separate negotiation. Please contact GTH for more information.

There is a right of way over the entrance drive the maintenance cost will be apportioned according to user.
