This striking detached period property occupies a nicely positioned elevated spot on a 1.35-acre plot within the Quantock Hills, just one mile from the village of Nether Stowey, while Bridgwater is around nine miles away.

The house has an idyllic setting with a layered surrounding landscape of open fields, farmland and Quantock Hills.

It is believed that the three-bedroom residence, named Moorfield, dates back to circa 1850 and has been well-maintained and updated in more recent years, whilst retaining plenty of its original charm and character.

On the ground floor, the welcoming entrance hallway leads to the main reception rooms and kitchen. The triple-aspect sitting room has a lovely high ceiling, an attractive fireplace and French doors that open out onto the patio area, while the dining room is well-proportioned and has an open fireplace. The kitchen has a country cottage look with its range of steely grey units, marble-style work surfaces and space for appliances.

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms, a family shower room and a family bathroom with a roll-top freestanding bath and a separate shower cubicle. The principal bedroom benefits from having an ensuite shower room.

Outside, the picturesque gardens are a particular feature of the property. The beautifully landscaped gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with herbaceous borders and attractive stone walling. A private patio area sits directly adjacent to the house which provides a perfect space for alfresco dining and summer entertaining, whilst taking in the beautiful outlook of the neighbouring fields, farmland and Quantock Hills beyond.

At the front, the extensive driveway provides ample parking space for several vehicles and leads to a garage and a garden store.

The property is available for sale with no onward chain.
