Property for sale near Bridgwater: Large five bedroom house

The large property, named Gib Hill, is believed to date back some 300 years or so and has a wealth of character features you would expect from a property of this era.

Inside, the inner hallway features exposed timber beams, an inglenook fireplace and French doors that open to the gardens. A stable door leads to the sitting room which has a dual aspect and a striking inglenook fireplace with exposed stonework, a heavy overhead beam and a log-burning stove.

The kitchen is fitted with a farmhouse-style range of units, solid oak work surfaces and several integrated appliances. This leads to a triple-aspect dining room with French doors out to the gardens.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, four doubles and one single, and a family shower room. The principal bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a further bedroom has a fabulous balcony that takes full advantage of the stunning countryside views.

The outbuildings are situated next to the farmhouse where there is a Dutch barn with a lean-to and stables offering two boxes. A concrete yard houses a mobile home and a clear span American style barn containing 12 stables, a workshop and a tack room.

Outside, the south-facing front garden has a series of well-maintained terraced areas with lawns, beautiful floral borders and several mature trees, shrubs and bushes.

The property also comes with rolling pastureland with pockets of mature natural woodland that is perfect for equestrian, livestock, sporting and conservation purposes.

The farmhouse is approached via a long private driveway, flanked on either side by native woodland with a carpet of bluebells in the spring. The drive finishes at a tarmac parking area next to the outbuildings.

The property is being offered for sale as a whole or in lots.
