An attractive period farmhouse presented in excellent order throughout, suitable for multi generational living, set in large gardens and grounds and enjoying complete privacy and seclusion.
This attractive period farmhouse is of rendered stone elevations under a pitched slated roof and enjoys oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout. The accommodation in brief comprises an entrance porch/study which leads through to an inner hall where to the left are two double bedrooms and a newly fitted family bathroom. The living room enjoys an inglenook fireplace with log burning stove set in stone surround along with a bread oven and stairs rise to the first floor. The kitchen/dining room has a lovely open feel to it and enjoys a modern fitted farmhouse style kitchen with a number of integral appliances and island unit. From here views can be enjoyed of the gardens with doors leading out to both the garden and courtyard. Also on this floor is a shower room completing the downstairs accommodation. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, both enjoying views of the gardens.
The owner of the adjoining barns has tried to obtain planning permission for residential use but was unsuccessful. It is our understanding that they intend to re-submit/appeal this application. If successful they have indicated they will try for 'fall back' which will mean the current barns will be demolished and new builds put in their place. However, these will be further away from Higher Bickley.
Milverton on Houndsmoor Lane. The village is regarded as one of the areas favoured with a good community and offering a good range of local amenities which include a village hall, church, convenience store, public house along with a primary school. The nearby town of Wiveliscombe is also easily accessible providing its extensive range of facilities along with Kingsmead Comprehensive School. Wellington is within a short drive being just over 3 miles away with the County Town of Taunton being about 7 miles and renowned for its extensive range of shopping, educational, sporting and cultural facilities along with access to the M5 motorway at junction 25 Blackbrook. The town also provides a main line city rail link, London Paddington being about 2 hours. Milverton is also well placed for easy access to the Exmoor National Park, Quantock Hills and Northern Coastline.
The property is approached over a concrete driveway, flanked on one side by an attractive dwarf stone wall with feature wagon wheel archway. Adjacent is a mature fruit orchard with far reaching views of open countryside. A set of ornamental gates lead through to a car parking and turning area which also gives access to the single garage. A side gate gives access to the gardens which benefits from a large patio area for outside dining which enjoy a south easterly aspect, and are a particular feature of the property. The gardens comprise a paved pathway adjacent to the rear of the house where there is a lawn, ornamental fishpond and steps rising up to a further area of lawn, interspersed with a number of well established flower beds, shrubs, trees and bushes. To the side of the property and to the rear of the garage is a fruit cage and former vegetable garden currently down to lawn. To fully appreciate the setting and charm of this property a viewing is highly recommended.
