"An exceptional, non-listed country house with extensive and beautifully appointed accommodation"
The Property
College Green Farm is an impressive detached country house dating from 1754, offering more than 6,000 sq ft of accommodation in a wonderfully characterful setting. Substantially extended over the years, the house combines the original farmhouse’s exposed stonework, flagstone floors and historic joinery with striking oak-framed additions.
At the heart of the home is an exceptional kitchen, dining and living space, recently refurbished around a bespoke Smallbone kitchen with a substantial central island, stone work surfaces and an electric Aga. Full-height glazing, vaulted ceilings and exposed oak trusses create a remarkable sense of space, while French doors open directly onto the terraces and gardens.
A second oak-framed dining and living hall provides further space for entertaining. Elsewhere, the principal sitting room centres on an impressive inglenook fireplace with its original bread oven, while additional reception rooms offer flexibility for family life, quieter evenings or working from home.
The six established bedrooms are arranged across the first floor and upper level, with two staircases providing flexibility to the layout. The principal suite includes a substantial bedroom, dressing room and private bathroom beneath exposed roof timbers, while the wider accommodation includes further bathrooms and a bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Ground-floor rooms adjoining a bathroom and study offer potential for a seventh bedroom or semi-independent accommodation.
Externally
The property is approached through automated gates, with a private drive leading to extensive gravelled parking and turning space. Broad stone terraces adjoin the house, providing natural settings for outdoor dining and entertaining, with the west-facing areas particularly well placed for evening sunshine.
The formal gardens extend to approximately two acres, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, established shrubs, fruit trees and a small brook. Beyond, around 3.5 acres of pasture provide space for grazing, recreation or potential equestrian use, subject to any necessary consents. The grounds enjoy far-reaching views across the surrounding Somerset countryside.
Planning consent has been granted for a detached oak-framed building incorporating four covered parking bays and studio accommodation above, with foundations already commenced. A previous consent for a swimming pool enclosure, gym, changing area and conservatory extension has lapsed, so renewed planning permission would be required to pursue those proposals.
A public right of way crosses part of the garden and field; buyers should confirm its route and any associated rights or restrictions with their solicitor.
