This elegant and imposing Georgian residence sits close to the centre of the Spaxton, a popular village that lies at the foot of the Quantock Hills, and close to the larger village of Nether Stowey, which is approximately three miles away.
The impressive, six-bedroom detached property, named Gramarye, is believed to date back to the 1870s and is packed with a wealth of character features and offered for sale in excellent decorative order. As with many houses of this era, the internal proportions are excellent with a symmetrical layout, and there are many fine features such as high ceilings, open fireplaces and sash windows flanked by timber shutters.
The arrangement and layout of the house offer a good degree of flexibility, giving the opportunity for an annexe for use by dependant relatives and as the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, the property could work well as a bed and breakfast.
Beyond the grand hallway, there is a spacious drawing room with a lovely open fireplace, sash windows and double doors that open to the front garden. The dining room is also large, and again it has a sash window facing south and an open fireplace. The kitchen has a farmhouse-style look with a wide range of light-coloured units and an integrated Range cooker and leads to a wonderfully light dual-aspect garden room. This flows to a snug sitting room with a cosy-looking fireplace with an inset wood burner. The ground floor is completed with a small kitchenette and a large bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.
On the first floor, there are five large bedrooms with either ensuite bathrooms or shower rooms.
Outside, a covered veranda sits at the front of the house and is a lovely area for sitting and soaking up the sun. The rear garden has a large patio area and expansive lawns surrounded by borders filled with mature shrubs. A handy vegetable patch adjoins the log store and workshop, which leads to the substantial garage with space for two cars.
