Description
This fine period former farmhouse is set in an private position on the edge of Egford, elevated in a rural setting with far reaching countryside views across rolling Somerset countryside. Approached via a country lane and surrounded by its own land, the property offers a wonderful sense of seclusion while remaining within easy reach of Frome.

The farmhouse displays period character and traditional proportions, with features such as exposed timbers, original fireplaces and deep window reveals visible across the accommodation. While the house has clearly been well loved, it now offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to reimagine the interiors and renovate/modernise the home to suit their own style of living while retaining the charm of the original building (subject to te necessary permissions).

The accommodation amounts to just over 2,200 sq ft and the internal layout provides a series of generously sized reception rooms, each enjoying views over the gardens or surrounding fields. The kitchen and ancillary spaces offer excellent scope for reconfiguration, and the bedroom accommodation is arranged to make the most of the property’s elevated position and those wonderful country views.

The whole is in need of modernisation/restoration but sits nicely in its grounds and certainly makes the most of the views.

Outside
The property stands within approximately 4.4 acres of gardens, paddocks and natural grounds. The immediate garden areas include lawns, mature trees and established planting, with numerous vantage points from which to enjoy the panoramic rural outlook. Beyond the formal garden, the land extends into open paddock areas, ideal for hobby farming, equestrian use or simply as a buffer of private countryside.

Outbuildings
A significant feature of the property is its extensive range of outbuildings, which together extend to in excess of 6,000 sq ft. These include traditional barns, modern agricultural structures and various ancillary buildings, offering enormous potential for a wide range of uses (subject to planning). Whether for storage, workshops, garaging, livestock, or future conversion projects, the scale and versatility of these buildings are a major asset.
