5 bed detached house for sale

Farm Street, Tintinhull, Yeovil, Somerset BA22

A fabulous Grade II listed and detached former farmhouse. Five bedrooms, four bathrooms. Low-maintenance garden, barn and workshop/double garage. No onward chain.

Lamb Farm is a substantial late 16th Century Grade II Listed house with later additions, prominently positioned in the conservation heart of the village. Constructed of local Hamstone elevations it was originally thatched and now has a tiled roof. The north aspect on Farm Street with its Tudor arch doorway is a good example of late Elizabethan architecture. The house retains many period features including three impressive Hamstone fireplaces, stone mullion windows with deep splayed internal reveals, and exposed beamed ceilings.

Lamb Farm has evolved sympathetically internally and externally and is exceptionally well suited to entertaining and family life. From the courtyard, the entrance door opens into a traditional cross passage forming part of the spacious reception hall, giving access to the Farm Street door and to the shower room, principal staircase and kitchen. The triple aspect kitchen is fitted with base units, dishwasher and dual fuel range cooker with hood. A ledged and braced door and two steps lead down to a practical utility/boot room with direct access to the courtyard.

There is a spacious double aspect dining room and a fine sitting room with Clearview wood burner. Both rooms have inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams. From the sitting room a fireside spiral staircase with two leaded windows rises to the master bedroom. An adjacent snug, again with inglenook and Clearview wood burner, leads into a garden room/studio (with WC) with vaulted ceiling and doors to both the courtyard and small lawned garden.

On the first floor the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and gives access to a spacious ensuite bathroom and adjacent dressing room/bedroom three. A large ensuite double bedroom, two further double bedrooms and a shower room complete the first floor, which allows for exceptional flexibility of use in view of the two staircases.
