Property Description: Guide Price £850,000. This fabulous country property comes to the market for the first time in 30 years and has so much to offer the new owners. Perfect as a family home, with the village primary school and several well-respected secondary schools close by. Sitting on just over half an acre of land, this family home is wonderfully peaceful and the ideal setting for those wishing to enjoy the countryside yet still be close enough to the life on offer from the surrounding areas such as Bath, Wells and Frome. Surrounded by land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, you will be able to maintain this peaceful lifestyle safe in the knowledge that the land is protected.

There is an area of the garden just perfect for those who like to grow their own produce and there's an ornamental pond area attracting nature. The rest of the grounds are mainly lawned with some stunning mature trees and shrubs to the borders creating the utmost privacy.
