A fine period 5 bedroom farmhouse set in mature gardens on the edge of a popular village close to the Devon/Somerset border. Versatile modern American barn with stables, outdoor arena and well fenced
paddocks. In all 5.98 acres.
Situation
Little Brimley Farm is situated on the fringes of the popular village of Appley, surrounded by the rolling countryside in the Upper Tone Valley on the Somerset/Devon borders. Appley has a thriving community including a preschool, community
run village store/cafe and the well-regarded Globe Inn is just a short stroll away. Set in a convenient location, the property is well placed for access to the nearby town of Wellington with its range of independent shops, supermarkets as well
as a Waitrose and a variety of recreational facilities including a cinema and sports centre with a swimming pool. There are excellent road links with the M5 interchange at Junction 26, to the east of Wellington, providing easy access to Exeter, Bristol, the Midlands and London. The county town of Taunton and the cathedral city of Exeter are both easily accessible and offer a comprehensive range of recreational and shopping facilities
The Property
This stylish country house cleverly combines the original period farmhouse which dates back to the 16th century, with a sympathetic extension to create a spacious five bedroom home. Facing south with rendered elevations under a slate roof, Little Brimley Farm has retained its traditional charm, yet has all the conveniences of modern living. The house has been the subject of an exacting refurbishment, the original features such as an inglenook with a bread oven and chamfered beams have been complimented by the use of natural materials such as limestone and oak floors. Lavender fringed steps lead up to the terrace which runs the length of the front façade of the house, creating a perfect opportunity for outdoor entertaining. The light filled entrance hall with a central staircase, creates an arresting first impression. At the heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room, with space for dining or relaxing by the wood burner, and French windows which open onto the terrace. The kitchen features bespoke cabinetry with granite work surfaces, 3 oven electric Aga and Belfast sink, with the adjacent pantry providing further storage, as well as a sink and an oven. The dining room flows into the drawing room through an oak archway creating a more formal entertaining space, with French windows opening onto the semicircular terrace. Upstairs the principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. There are four further double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom. Most of the rooms face south and have lovely views over the gardens and paddocks.
Please see floorplan for accommodation and measurements.
Outside
Set back from the road behind electric gates, the gravel drive is flanked by post and rail fenced paddocks on one side and the garden on the other, it sweeps up to a parking area near the house. The landscaped grounds provide a glorious private setting, with a pretty stream meandering through an informal woodland garden filled with magnolias, azaleas, acers and mature trees. To the front of the house is a more formal area with terraced borders filled with sun loving plants. Beyond the house is an attractive Summer House (4.5m x 4m) which could provide an ideal office or studio and a small orchard. The equestrian facilities are approached by the main drive leading to a modern timber clad American Barn (22.4m x 11.6m) with concrete yards to front and rear. Currently housing 5 loose boxes, a tack room, storage and a WC, this versatile outbuilding could be easily adapted for alternative uses. Conveniently located to the side of the barn is the Outdoor Arena (45m x 25m). Beyond are further gently sloping paddocks. In all 5.98 acres (2.42 ha).
