This substantial, seven-bedroom residence occupies a 5.6-acre plot at the end of a no-through road on the edge of the village of Kilve, at the northern end of the Quantocks Hills.

The property, named Lower Hill Farm, overlooks the surrounding undulating countryside and is within walking distance of Kilve Beach.

The house has been sympathetically modernised and extended over the years, and can be used as a seven-bedroom property, combining an interconnecting wing, to accommodate the extended family if required.

Inside, the property is presented in excellent decorative order and displays many features typical of its age, including impressive fireplaces, exposed beams and window seats.

On the ground floor, the sitting room is a pleasant space with exposed beams and a central fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. The dining room has a large inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, fitted bookshelves and a lovely window seat. The light and airy garden room is a relaxing space and has two pairs of doors that open to the garden. The heart of the home is the 32' kitchen/family room which has three sets of French doors and a freestanding wood-burning stove.

The kitchen has a classic look and is fitted with shaker-style units, Oak work surfaces, a central island, a Range cooker and several other integrated appliances.

On the first floor, there are seven bedrooms and a superbly appointed family bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower. The principal bedroom suite has a dressing room and ensuite shower room, while the second bedroom has a 'Jack and Jill' access to the family bathroom and the third bedroom has a shower room.

Outside, well-established gardens surround the house and include large lawns, a sun terrace, spring-fed ponds and an area of mature woodland with lovely meandering paths and a tree house. There are also three separate paddocks and a range of outbuildings, including a stable block.
