About this property
Former farmhouse with potential for enlargement (STPP)
Various outbuildings and private driveway
Adjoining open countryside
A detached 3 bedroom former farmhouse set at the end of its own private driveway nestled in approximately 2.1 acres offering considerable privacy and seclusion.
The Dwelling
Hazelwood farm as suggested from its title was a former working farm but now forms an idyllic smallholding for any sheep, goat or llama enthusiast. The current vendor has lived at Hazelwood Farm for approximately 54 years and has created and generated most of the incredible landscaped gardens. The total site extends to approximately 2.1 acres incorporating a paddock and various garden sections. Within the gardens are various outbuildings including a useful open fronted carport. All of these delightful features are further enhanced by the extensive private driveway which also provides considerable privacy and seclusion. Other benefits include an oil fired rayburn, kitchen garden and various fruit trees.
Accomodation
The accomodation provides 2 principal reception rooms alongside a Conservatory and separate garden room, the majority of which enjoys a stunning outlook over the established gardens. On the First floor are 3 bedrooms with the principal bedroom providing a dressing room and an en suite facility. Although the accommodation is well proportioned there is potential to enlarge the property subject of course to any necessary consents.
Outside
The property is approached via a gravel driveway leading to a sizeable parking and turning area. Outbuildings consist of an open fronted carport, storeroom, workshop and wood store. As previously mentioned the total site extends approximately 2.1 acres incorporating established gardens with a wealth of mature plants and shrubs alongside a useful paddock enclosure.
Situation
A particular feature of hazelwood farm is its site and situation set away from any near neighbours yet being within easy reach of the village of Winsham. Winsham is set in the heart of the South Somerset countryside but near to the Devon and West Dorset borders. It’s the ideal base to enjoy everything this beautiful part of the countryside has to offer - not far from the coast, and yet within easy reach of good road links via the A358, A30 and A303. Winsham has a thriving community with a village shop/post office, primary school, church, village hall, playing fields and many local social societies and clubs, not to mention the popular village pub, "The Bell Inn". It is well placed for access to the nearby country towns of Chard (4 miles), Beaminster (8 miles) and Crewkerne (6 miles) with a Waitrose supermarket and mainline station on the London Waterloo line. Each town offers a wider range of day-to-day amenities and facilities. The unesco Jurassic coast with the lovely resorts of Lyme Regis, Charmouth and West Bay are all within half an hour’s drive, offering excellent opportunities for walking, fossil-hunting, fishing and swimming. The county town of Taunton (18 miles) offers a wider range of facilities and cultural activities, as well as a connection to the M5 and a mainline rail service to London Paddington. Other leisure facilities in the district include Forde Abbey, Cricket St Thomas Lakes and Gardens and Cricket St Thomas Golf Club.
