Property description
Description
The property has been built within the last ten years on the edge of this unspoilt Somerset village and is one of only five individual properties, each uniquely designed to reflect local vernacular style. The West House represents the principal dwelling house with unobtrusive neighbouring properties reflecting typical ancillary barn-style buildings which collectively have created the impression of a traditional farmstead. Construction is principally of local Blue Lias stone incorporating architectural dressings and is complemented by some mellow brick elevations beneath clay tiled roofs. Heating is provided by a pressurised gas (lpg) heating system and all windows are double glazed. The versatile accommodation lends itself to a variety of uses, principally as an excellent family home or offers other permutations, particularly for those working from home or indeed where there is a requirement for some additional living space for a dependent relative. Without doubt this is genuinely an occasion where prospective purchasers should be encouraged to view to fully appreciate this exceptionally spacious and well appointed home.
