Property Description

Boords Farm is a simply stunning Grade ll listed period family home situated in the very heart of popular Batcombe.

 

Entering into the property the main hallway has original flagstone floors. There are two staircases leading to the first floor and a built-in pantry.

 

As you enter the property on your right is the kitchen – warm and inviting this country style kitchen is full of character, featuring solid wood cabinetry, exposed beams and beautiful timber flooring. Bathed in natural light from multiple windows and French doors leading out into the garden room, the space offers a generous central island, perfect for casual dining or entertaining, alongside ample built in storage and a classic Aga.

 

Out through the French doors in the kitchen is the garden room which offers a tranquil and light filled space with floor to ceiling glazing and a vaulted glass roof, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the surrounding greenery. The exposed stone wall adds rustic charm, while French doors provide easy access to the main house and kitchen. This is ideal for relaxed dining or peaceful reading; this versatile room is a perfect spot to enjoy the garden year-round.

 

Leading through the doors on the left of the garden room you will find the study, and through again is the sitting room - full of period character, featuring exposed timber beams, a beamed ceiling and French doors that open out to the garden, allowing in plenty of natural light. The room offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with a lovely blend of original features and comfortable proportions. There is a jet master fireplace and original built in storage

 

Out of the sitting room you will find the first staircase wrapping around to the first floor, but past this is the entrance hall to the front garden and road. Directly across from that door is the dining room with access to the kitchen via the hall, this room is a characterful and atmospheric space, featuring exposed beams, stone flooring and a deep bay window that fills the room with natural light. A large fireplace recess adds a focal point and historic charm, while built in cabinetry provides useful storage and display. Ideal for entertaining, this room offers a wonderful setting for both formal dining and family gatherings.

 

Further on from here is the second staircase and the family room, a bright and comfortable space, ideal for everyday living and relaxation. A feature fireplace with a wood burning stove adds warmth and character, while large windows bring in plenty of natural light and offer lovely garden views. With exposed beams and stone flooring, the room blends traditional charm with modern comfort.

 

On your left is another door to the boot room with direct access out to the courtyard and rear garden via the path, this room offers practicality and organisation, which is ideal for country living. With flagstone flooring, built in cabinetry and a traditional Belfast sink, it provides the perfect area for laundry, muddy boots and everyday storage. A stable style door leads directly outside, enhancing its functionality as a hardworking entrance to the home. There is also a cloakroom

 

Heading upstairs on your left is the family bathroom which is bright with white walls and flooring. It features a bathtub with floral tiles, a pedestal sink with a mirror, and a WC.

 

There are five generous double bedrooms and a further bathroom on this floor. The landing has beautiful elm floorboards and exposed beams. Each bedroom has wonderful views - either into the village or across the beautiful Somerset countryside.

 

Outside there are beautifully maintained gardens with mature shrubs and trees, sweeping lawns and hedging. There is a swimming pool heated by an air source heat pump and a full-size tennis court. Wandering through the gardens into a small orchard where there are fruit canes and a greenhouse as well as fruit trees. Two stone outbuildings provide useful storage space for garden machinery. From the gardens are simply breathtaking views across the beautiful countryside. From the main gardens there is a five-bar gate leading into two paddocks extending to around five acres.

 

The Coach House - Boords Cottage

 

In addition to the main house is a charming, detached coach house which has been a popular holiday and long term let. A door leads directly into the kitchen which has a range of fitted wall and base units and work surfaces. Walking through into a most characterful sitting room with flagstone floors and wood burner. There is a ground floor bedroom and shower room. Upstairs there is a further double bedroom with an ensuite. Outside the coach house and the farmhouse there is ample parking for several cars and of course subject to planning permission a garage could be erected.

 

All in all, Boords Farm is a simply wonderful property - having been in the same family for decades it is now looking for the next custodian. Internal viewing of this very special home is strongly recommended.
