Orchard FarmThought to date back to the Victorian era and unlisted, Orchard Farm is an impressive example of a farmhouse of the period and is built of stone under a clay tiled roof. The house is surrounded by open countryside, has no near neighbours and is set back about 70 yards from a country lane. It has a classically symmetrical south-facing front façade with tall windows that let in plenty of natural light and there are unimpeded views of the surrounding countryside from almost every room on the house with Glastonbury Tor visible on the horizon. The current owners have undertaken a wholescale refurbishment with a contemporary flavour and today the property is beautifully presented throughout. On the ground floor there is a large, stone-flagged inner hall with a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove and roof lights that allow natural light into the centre of the house illuminating the main staircase and galleried landing. Off the inner hall are the snug and the sitting room, which has an open fireplace, timber floor, built-in bookshelves and windows on two sides including French windows opening onto the terrace. Beyond the sitting room is a large home office with views across the garden and orchard. On the opposite side of the house and stretching across its entire width is the superb kitchen/dining room which not only has an ample dining space but also has a sizeable seating area. In the centre is a farmhouse-style kitchen fitted with an electric AGA and AGA Companion and bespoke, painted timber units along two walls with a large island between them. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with separate shower, extensive built-in wardrobes and like all the bedrooms it has wonderful views over the garden and unspoilt countryside. Also off the landing are the main guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom and shower, a double bedroom with adjacent bathroom and two further double bedrooms with a shared bathroom and shower between them.

Garden & GroundsOrchard Farm is approached down a 70 yard long, discreet drive leading to an extensive gravelled parking area. On one side and a short distance from the house is a timber-clad double garage with separate workshop/store. Beside this is a sheltered and paved dining area accessible from the kitchen via French windows. Along the western side of the house is a deep, paved terrace, which catches the sun from mid-morning into the evening which is accessible directly from the sitting room, thereby proving a perfect space for entertaining in fine weather. The garden extends round two sides of the house and is simply designed for ease of maintenance with stretches of low yew hedging combined with rose borders bound by shaped box and lavender. Beyond the garden is a mixed orchard bound by mature hedging. On one side and about 40 yards from the house is a single storey, stone-built outbuilding which would make an ideal separate home office, games room or gym. To the north of the garden and orchard is a field of permanent pasture bound by mature field hedges. In all the garden and grounds extend to about 4.74 acres (1.92 hectares).
