House For Sale £2,350,000
The house was subject to a recent extensive renovation. This exquisite five bedroom house is situated below a quiet country lane in a private and secluded position, looking out across a natural amphitheatre of beautifully landscaped garden framed by a belt of mature woodland.
The house is positioned on a south-west/south-east axis so that the gorgeous kitchen/living room and principal bedroom suite both have lovely views across the garden. The accommodation is arranged on three floors with the principal reception rooms and reception hall on the lower ground floor. The hall also doubles as a library with fitted bookshelves along two walls, oak parquet floor glazed partition opening to the sitting room, which also has a parquet floor, two window seats and a wood-burning stove.
A couple of steps from the hall lead down to the kitchen/dining room, which has tall picture windows with built in oak window seats which run around the perimeter with southerley views across the beautiful garden.
A highlight of Batch Orchard is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, which enjoys exceptional volume and natural light. There is an impressive central island with a breakfast bar, stylish corian worktops, an electric range cooker, excellent appliances throughout and a striking slate stone floor. The kitchen has been designed with entertaining in mind, however, it is equally a wonderful space for all the family to enjoy.
There is direct access onto a generous terrace, ample storage and cabinetry, as well as further storage in the large basement below. On the upper ground floor is the principal bedroom suite, which has a walk-through dressing room leading to its en-suite bathroom with a separate shower and underfloor heating. Beyond it is the family room which has a timber floor and wood-burning stove and leads to a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and shower, this again, benefits from underfloor heating. There is also a further double bedroom and the family shower room. A short corridor leads to the boot and laundry rooms with access to the attached double garage. On the first floor are two further en suite double bedrooms.
Batch Orchard is situated in a private, secluded position on the edge of the desirable village of Batchcome, which is on the edge of the Mendip Hills within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The village has a church, village hall and pub with a pre-school in nearby Upton Noble (1.6 miles). Although one of the smallest towns in England, nearby Bruton (3.1 miles) can cater for most day-to-day requirements with two pubs, butcher, artisan bakery, four mini-supermarkets, petrol station, pharmacy, doctors surgery, post office and several boutique hotels, restaurants and cafes including the renowned Hauser and Wirth Gallery with Roth Bar and Grill.
The town also has a vet and dentist. For wider requirements Shepton Mallett, Bath and Frome are all within a reasonable driving distance.
Bruton has a rail service to Paddington (1 hour 46 minutes) and Bristol and Exeter Airports are both about an hour's drive away. Bruton also has schools both from the private and state sectors. These include Sexeys School (state secondary boarding), Kings Bruton and Bruton School for Girls, with Hazelgrove, Port Regis, All Hallows and the Sherborne schools also within easy reach.
