A HUGELY VERSATILE PROPERTY IDEAL FOR MULTI GENERATIONAL LIVING OR TO GENERATE AN EXCELLENT INCOME.
Home Farm is a period detached house dating from circa 1850, subsequently extended and now providing extensive accommodation (in total some 3400 sq ft) arranged as a spacious family home with attached self contained annexe and separate first floor flat. There is also scope to create a further self contained unit if required.
The accommodation in the main house is well presented throughout. On the ground floor a sizeable entrance porch leads to a reception hall with a door leading to the inner hallway where the stairs rise to the first floor. There are two good size reception rooms on the ground floor and from the living room double doors open onto the uPVC double glazed conservatory. The heart of the house is a generously proportioned live in family kitchen which is appointed with a good range of units and has double doors opening onto the rear garden. A shower room and utility room/boot room complete the ground floor accommodation with a door leading from the utility room to an attached double garage. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms together with a bathroom and separate shower room. The annexe has a living room, kitchen/dining room, double bedroom and bathroom while the flat has an open plan living room with kitchen, double bedroom and shower room. These units could also suit holiday lets/AirBnB.
Externally, the property is approached over a block paved driveway leading to an extensive parking and turning area. There are level gardens laid predominately to lawn with trees and shrub borders and providing a pleasant setting for the house lying beyond a full width paved patio terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining in the summer months.
The village of High Littleton is well served by local amenities including a village post office, general store, hairdressers, pub, garage, parish church, primary school highly rated by Ofsted and social clubs. The nearby towns of Midsomer Norton and Keynsham (the latter with a Waitrose Store) provide a good range of day to day amenities while the cities of Bristol, Bath and Wells are in easy commuting distance.
