Park Pitney, Langport £1,650,000

Park Farm is a beautiful Grade II listed farmhouse set in this truly idyllic rural location with breathtaking uninterrupted country views. The property is presented in excellent order throughout and has undergone many improvements by the current owners. The house retains many original character features including large inglenook fireplaces with wood burning stoves, flagstone floors, beamed ceilings and some exposed Oak and Elm timbers. All the radiators have been replaced with a attractive decorative Victorian style.

The spacious accommodation offers superb comfortable living areas with large reception rooms and bright kitchen/breakfast room with a four oven AGA. There are five bedrooms with an impressive principal bedroom suite including en-suite with views from a Juliet balcony and dressing room. The farmhouse is set in 24 acres made up of paddock areas suitable for equestrian use and wonderful hillside woodland blanketed with Bluebells and rare Orchids. There is a comprehensive range of stone outbuildings and garaging along with a self contained holiday cottage/annex.

Park Farm is situated off the beaten track, occupying a slightly elevated position with panoramic views. Park is only a short distance from Somerton and the current owners often walk or cycle into the town. Somerton was the ancient Capital of Wessex in the 8th century and a former market town. It then later became the County town of Somerset in the 13th/14th Century. There are good levels of amenities including some local, independent shops which you might like to explore throughout the town with quaint cafes where you can spend a day relaxing and enjoying lovely food within the beautiful old charm of a Market town. Somerton also offers a bank, library, doctor and dentist surgery; there are also several public houses, restaurants, churches and primary schools within the town. The Old Town Hall now houses the ACEArts Gallery and craft shop who present a varied, stimulating programme of exhibitions and related events throughout the year. A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in the County town of Taunton to the west or Yeovil to the south. The mainline railway stations are located in Castle Cary, Yeovil and Taunton. The property is also well served by the A303 linking central London and the South West; the M5 can be joined at junction 23.
