Sellers insight


Highfield House has been our home since 1981. The year when Charles and Diana were married, Margaret Thatcher was pm, and thanks to local Somerset hero Ian Botham England won the Ashes. 44 years no less is a lengthy period of time, containing much of our family history and is unquestionably an excellent indication as to just how much we have enjoyed living here.

This characterful Edwardian house has changed considerably over these years with many improvements including notably the through lounge with its double-sided fireplace, the en-suite guest bedroom, a newly fitted kitchen and utility room and the provision of a wonderful conservatory.

The conservatory has been a particular joy all year round not least because the house faces almost due South and benefits from sunshine all day long virtually from sunrise to sunset. The garden itself is a haven of peace and tranquillity with a high degree of privacy. Perfect for eating alfresco during the summer months perhaps with the barbecue and a glass of wine.

The house whilst in a lovely and quiet location is a short walk to the village centre with its many facilities including Primary School, Parish Church, community shop, pub and cafe together with the opportunity to play a part in village life and join in varied activities. It is a thriving village in a beautiful part of Somerset.

For us it is now the right time to move.
