- Garden View more View less A beautifully renovated farmhouse with land located between the villages of Farmborough and Priston in the stunning Somerset countryside. This four-bedroom home offers a rural idyll within easy reach of both Bath and Bristol. Developed in 2006 as one of six individual homes, The Old Farmhouse, laid out over two floors, offers space, peace, tranquillity, character, and modern comfort along with a sizeable garden and a field of about 2.5-acres. Over the years, significant improvements have been made to the property. The kitchen has been relocated to the old milk parlour, the walls of which have been opened up to introduce light and create a beautiful, secluded courtyard, which becomes a sun trap in the summer. Additionally, the garden has been enhanced by the removal of old hedging, effectively doubling its size. The current owner says, we were first attracted to the property for the location; it's so close to Bristol and Bath yet it feels secluded and like you're living somewhere remote. It's also a very safe place for children to grow up with freedom. They add, there's no light pollution, so we can see the stars at night, and we never hear any traffic. The south-facing garden boasts an ample patio space with a mature magnolia tree, and privacy ensured by a beach hedge. Equipped with a greenhouse and vegetable planters, the lawned garden is designed for low maintenance. Adjacent, a west-facing bench offers the perfect spot to unwind on summer evenings and admire the sunset.I fell in love with this house the moment I saw it, it is the perfect family home. It has lots of space downstairs and the rooms can be used for different purposes, including entertaining.The field is versatile, suitable for camping or keeping ponies, with fenced space for chickens or other animals. Parking is abundant, with room for three cars in front and six by the carport, plus communal parking for guests. A grassy area in front of the house is perfect for games.The neighbourhood at Castle Farm is wonderful, fostering a close-knit community where neighbours support each other without being intrusive. Social gatherings like barbecues and Christmas celebrations are common.Residents jointly manage the common ground through the Castle Farm management company, meeting twice yearly to address any concerns.Farmborough boasts a fantastic community shop, easily accessible via a short walk through fields or along the lane. The Ring OBells pub is in nearby Priston and The Pig Hotel and Restaurant is a walkable distance. For fitness enthusiasts, Timsbury offers a great gym.Additional Information:
