From the entrance hall, you're led into the kitchen (by Unfitted Kitchens) featuring a stylish copper sink and splash backs. A few steps down, the bright and airy triple-aspect breakfast/dining room creates a welcoming heart to the home. Beyond this lies a generous living/family room, complete with both a wood-burning stove and an open fireplace - perfect for cosy evenings all year round. A convenient WC completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom boasts bi-fold doors opening onto a Juliet balcony, revealing sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. This room also benefits from a stylish en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a smaller fourth bedroom, ideal as a single, dressing room, or home office. The beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
The property is accessed onto a private driveway with ample parking for several vehicles. The access track leading to this is owned by a neighbouring farm, with a legal right of access in place.
The south-facing gardens are a particular highlight-carefully landscaped and full of character. They include mature lawns, a wildflower meadow, a raised wooden deck with a wood-fired hot tub, and an entertaining terrace. A productive kitchen garden features five raised beds and a variety of fruit trees.
At the bottom of the garden, a secluded fire pit area sits beside a gentle stream, while a charming children's play area includes two treehouses and a mud kitchen. Additional outbuildings include a large wooden garage/store, a shed, and an old well - adding both practicality and further charm to this unique home.
In all approximately 0.44 acres. EPC: D.

The property occupies a wonderful spot in the picturesque rural hamlet of Laverton, between Frome and Bath. The nearby village of Beckington has an award-winning café called Mes Amis, two public houses and a fuel station with M&S.
The artisan town of Frome is nearby, which is renowned for its atmospheric streets, quirky independent shops, cafés, galleries, and performing arts. Regularly featured in 'Best Place To...' lists, Frome is now famous for its independent town council, its innovative health care approaches, the monthly Independent Market, vibrant community action, and the surprise performances of international stars at the Cheese & Grain.
Babington House, the private members' club, with its swimming pools, tennis courts, gym, bars and restaurant is only a short drive away; and the Hauser & Wirth Gallery in Bruton and The Newt are also both within easy reach.
Connections in the area are excellent with the A36 and A303 (M3) not far away, providing access to the wider motorway network. Frome, Westbury and Warminster stations all provide regular rail services to London Paddington and London Waterloo.
