About this property

Comfortable large farmhouse perfect for family country holidays

This graded 2 farmhouse has been fully refurbished only a few years ago to accommodate a big family. There are more than five acres of private land including a large field, a wood and a log cabin, perfect for outdoor summer holidays.
The house, full of character, contains 2 double bedrooms and 4 single rooms of various sizes set up over two levels, with 4 bathrooms and a separate toilet. The kitchen is large, bright and very functional, connected to the dining-room equipped with an extendable dining table (sitting up to 10 people). The living-room is split in two, with a lounge area perfect to watch TV or relax and a more formal area; both have access to the double-sided wood burner. In the back garden, a picnic table, tennis table and outdoor games will be much appreciated on sunny days. Inside, you will enjoy a large collections of books for any ages as well as plenty of board games and toys for younger children.
The house is in a very quiet location, surrounded only by a few houses in a small dead-end lane, off a pretty and authentic small Somerset village. Most of the bedrooms have views on green fields, pasture for horses and sheep. From the house, you can go on many walks, round the village and signed pathways through fields, with the Monarch Way accessible within 15 minutes walk.
The next town is only 3 miles away, with all the facilities needed (supermarkets, independent cafes, bakeries, pubs and fast food, a library, a sport centre with swimming-pool, tennis courts and other shops). There are two train stations nearby, connecting to different areas of the South-West and both leading to London: Templecombe (5 min drive) and Castle Cary (15 min drive).
It is an ideal spot to access many holiday attractions: Stourhead National Trust, the old town of Sherborne, the picturesque Bruton (with the Contemporary Art Gallery Hauser and Wirth and the acclaimed hotel and gardens The Newt), Haynes Motor Museum, The Fleet Air Museum, are all accessible within 15 min drive. Longleat Zoo, Montacute National Trust, Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury are about 30 min drive. And within an hour, you can go and visit the Jurassic Coast, Bath and Bristol, the Cheddar Gorges, Salisbury, Stonehenge and access many beaches. Of course, there are many other places to explore and most of all many lovely walks!

About the host

Hosted by Jeanne

Host profile image
We are a family of 6, with 4 children aged between 10 and 18 years old. Summer is the time for us to visit our families abroad, so we are happy to rent our comfortable family house to guests for a countryside holiday. Our friends Lynsey and Andrew are looking after our house for us while away and are accessible any time if needed.

Why they chose this property

Because it is our main home, you will immediately have the welcomed feeling of being at home yourself, not like a property set up for lettings only. For example, the kitchen is fully equipped with anything needed for all types of cooking, from a steamer to a blender, baking utensils, all sizes of pots and pans, plenty of cutlery and dishes.
The house is located in a lovely rural area of South Somerset. You will wake up with the song of birds, and go to bed under a sky full of stars and the perfect peace and quiet. Often, you can see dears in the field behind the house, as well as rabbits, foxes and badgers. Nonetheless, the house is close to all necessary amenities, within a 10min drive.

What makes this property unique

You have the solely access to a large field and wood, where you can build dens or explore wildlife. Personally, on nice summer days, we like to gather some wood and roast sausages and marshmallows, having our own wild BBQ party in the field and shielding in the log cabin to listen to some music or playing games once it gets a bit too cold outside. We had many great outdoor family birthday parties!
