Description

Nestled on the edge of the picturesque Orchardleigh estate, this exquisite Grade II listed home has been substantially and tastefully renovated and represents a very special opportunity. The home enjoys approximately 2 acres of mature gardens and woodland to the rear.

The front door leads into a turret style entrance hall with two gothic leaded windows to the front. The quarry-tiled floor adds character, and an additional window to the side allows natural light to filter in. Ideal for showcasing a striking light fixture.

Leading from the hall is the generous 18ftx15ft lounge boasting dual aspect leaded stone mullion windows on the side, complete with elegant elm shutters. A central open fire is surrounded by a wooden carved mantle.

The kitchen/dining room is a well proportioned open planned space with newly fitted units topped with solid wood worktops. An electric range oven and hob and integrated dishwasher have also been newly installed. The wood burner takes centre stage within the exposed stone fireplace, while a spacious pantry cupboard offers ample extra storage space. The property has a separate utility room and separate w.c.

On the first floor you have three, well-proportioned bedrooms with gothic windows and exposed wooden floors, with the Master bedroom being an excellent size, mirroring the living room. These rooms are serviced by a family bathroom with bath and waterfall shower over.

OUTSIDE

Totalling approximately 2 acres, the beautiful garden wraps around the property, encasing the home into a secluded and private sanctuary, and including the old forge, with space to barbeque under the pergola, perfect for alfresco dining. There is a gravel drive and woodland, a truly magical spot providing a country feel just a few minutes drive of Frome.
