Webbers and Fine & Country of Wiveliscombe are delighted to offer for sale this beautifully presented period farmhouse with superb gardens and additional attached land.

Burts Farmhouse (formerly Jays Farm) originally dates back to the 17th century and was substantially extended in the late 19th/early 20th century.

The perfectly formed accommodation offers a practical boot room, ground floor cloakroom and a dual aspect well-equipped, sociable kitchen/dining room with granite worktops. There is a dual aspect drawing room with French doors to the south facing terrace, and a magnificent living room with fireplaces either end and a log burner. The garden room takes in the beautifully landscaped gardens and also benefits from a second log burner. There is a study on the ground floor.

A wide landing leads to bedroom one with its own ensuite shower room and lovely views towards the Brendon Hills. Three further double bedrooms (one with dressing area) are served by the luxury family bathroom.

There is an oil-fired central heating system and the property is decorated superbly throughout.

There are two gates to the gravelled drive with easy access to the double garage. The gardens have been landscaped and maintained to extremely high standard and there is level access to the garden office/studio with power and light and a southerly aspect and its own secret garden.

To the side of the garden, there is a private lane giving access to the large agricultural barn ideal for stock, machinery or trailers.

The land comprises three stock proof paddocks gently sloping with field shelters.

The property is situated in the small hamlet of Tolland in Taunton Deane but close to the Brendon Hills and Exmoor.

The former market town of Wiveliscombe is approximately four miles south and there is access from here to the A358 to Bishops Lydeard and into Taunton.
