5 bed country house for sale

Stoke Road, North Curry, Somerset TA3

English Homes are delighted to be marketing this impressive Victorian property which has not been on the open market for over 50 years. The current owners have meticulously renovated & extended this attractive property to an exceptionally high standard whilst retaining much of the period features, yet there is still huge potential to extend this property further. There are too many superlatives to say about this wonderful property, but particular mention has to go to the kitchen/family room extension which measures just short of 600 square feet. A room where you can relax and socialise whilst taking in the stunning views of the countryside beyond and to sit and watch the spectacular sunsets. The house comprises living/drawing room, snug, cinema room, utility/shower room, kitchen/dining/family room, 4 bedrooms and family bathroom with uninterrupted views. The property further benefits from a 1 bedroom detached annexe which is currently rented successfully via Airbnb and would suit multi-generational living if required, together with a 2-storey cider barn housing a vintage cider press, ideal as a garage, workshop or further accommodation. Viewing is highly recommended to not only take into account the workmanship but to experience the ambiance of this property, it’s views and the village it lies in.
