Description

This Grade II listed historic house, once a picturesque farmhouse dating back to the 1600s, embodies both charm and potential. Nestled in the desirable village of Wedmore, the property showcases a classic Georgian façade complemented by original stone outbuildings and a walled garden. The exterior alone captivates, inviting you to explore the character-filled interior. Upon entering, you're greeted by a flagstone entrance hall that leads through generous reception areas. The living and dining rooms feature inglenook fireplaces with wood-burning stoves and elegant Georgian French doors that open into the front garden, creating an inviting atmosphere ideal for entertaining or cozy family gatherings. Rich period details abound throughout the space, including worn limestone flags and beautiful elm flooring that highlight its historical significance. The kitchen/breakfast room is positioned at the rear of the home, providing views over the terrace and garden. It includes practical fittings like granite countertops and a gas AGA, making it not only functional but also an inviting area for socializing. Adjacent to this space is a butler's pantry/laundry room with ample storage, as well as a downstairs cloakroom—a nod to modern conveniences within a historic setting. Currently serving as a library, the third reception room boasts stunning proportions and offers versatility; it has access to an ensuite shower room that could easily accommodate guests or serve as a ground-floor bedroom if desired. Ascend the staircase to find five thoughtfully sized bedrooms with wide planked flooring indicative of high-quality craftsmanship. One bedroom features an en-suite shower room, while the impressive family bathroom is designed for comfort with its spacious layout. The attic room occupies the full length of the house and presents significant renovation possibilities. Brightened by Velux windows amidst charming wooden rafters, this expansive space could be transformed into an additional principal bedroom suite or serve another purpose entirely with appropriate permissions. Outside, a delightful courtyard connects via wide doors from the hallway and features limestone flags alongside a lean-to pagoda—creating an all-weather seating area overlooking lush terraces and gardens. A quaint stone garden building, previously used as a bakery until the 1950s, adds further charm and could serve various uses such as an artist's studio or office space. The property's outdoor spaces are not only aesthetically pleasing but also hold investment potential. The former cider house remains on-site as stone plinths where barrels once stood next to an old two-storey barn currently divided into two sections. Notably, planning permission exists for converting this barn into a two-bedroom detached dwelling
