The sitting room is of an excellent size and has a stone fireplace with wood burning stove. There are four bedrooms, three of which are double, with a shower room as well as a family bathroom. The house was built in the 1970’s but retains a period look. A rather lovely sun-room/wood frame conservatory sits to the rear of the house and takes in the gardens, south-facing views and wildlife around it.<br/>The property benefits from glorious sweeping gardens and lawns surrounding as well as mature trees and stunning planted flowering borders. The garden is a haven for wildlife and is home to many species of birds. The garden also has a kitchen garden vegetable plot area and several apple and pear trees. The house has a walled front garden with a driveway entrance, enough space for several cars. A double garage overlooks the driveway to one side and has power and lighting. A tennis court sits to the side of the property that could be refurbished and restored to its former glory, or one could build ancillary accommodation/annexe to the main house, perfect for an elderly relative or as extra accommodation/office space (subject to planning).<br/><br/>Situation<br/>The property occupies a semi-rural position in Tellisford, within easy reach of the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath and the vibrant market town of Frome.
