This classic, Grade II-listed manor farmhouse occupies a plot of just over 15 acres amid beautiful countryside on the edge of the rural village of Burrowbridge and is just ten miles away from Taunton.

The property comes with walled gardens, pastures, traditional outbuildings and a two-bedroom cottage.

The main property, named Saltmoor House, has the distinct hallmarks of the Georgian period being totally symmetrical, and the front being enhanced with a fine pillared entrance.

The facade and Georgian reception rooms were added in the 18th century to a more modest and older farmhouse, once being the home of the well-known Kinglake family.

This lovely old house has been well restored and maintained over the years and provides elegant accommodation and a great deal of charm and character.

Inside, the drawing room features a high mantelpiece and an open fire, beautiful cornicing and shutters flanking the windows, while the dining room is equally appealing also with elaborate cornicing and shuttered windows.

There is also a morning room with French doors opening out to a south-facing terrace and a family sitting room with a fireplace and French doors to the walled garden. The kitchen has a traditional look with an original dresser, a recessed cupboard and a black four-oven Aga.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms and two family bathrooms. The principal bedroom has a spacious ensuite bathroom and a separate dressing room, while the guest bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom.

Outside, there is a beautiful walled garden with a deep terrace, formal mixed beds surrounded by box hedging and a variety of topiary. The pastures stretch out to the south and can be found beyond a traditional five-bar gate and arranged in three-level enclosures.

In addition to the main house, there is Mill Cottage, which has an open reception room, a kitchen and two double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms.

A range of traditional single-storey outbuildings house stables, an office and garaging, while there are other outbuildings providing space for storage, stables and a six-bay Dutch barn.
