The sitting room features a substantial stone inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, two rear facing windows and an exposed brick and beam partition wall adding to the period character. From here a door leads into the snug, which could equally serve as a dining room, complete with fireplace and double doors opening into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with oak fronted units, incorporates an oil fired AGA, and offers space for an electric cooker and integrated dishwasher. Windows look to the front and a stable door provides side access. Also accessed from the hall is a further reception room, currently used as a family room, with a side window and double doors opening onto the patio terrace, offering flexibility as a second sitting room if required. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.
On the first floor landing, doors lead to five bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom includes a range of mirrored wardrobes, a side window and double doors opening onto a 'Juliette' balcony, an ideal place to sit and take in the southerly views across the garden, surrounding fields and towards Glastonbury Tor.

**Identity Verification**
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
