Property for sale near Ilminster: Large Eight bedroom house

The property, named Bullen Court, was originally a row of period cottages and dates back to the mid-19th Century. The original dwellings have been comprehensively re-modelled and extended to create what is now one most attractive village house of impressive proportions. Within the grounds, there is also a separate cottage, well-maintained gardens, a tennis court and a paddock.

Inside, the main house is beautifully presented with several of the reception rooms having charming period features including open fireplaces, decorative tiled floors and there is a particularly attractive main staircase. On the ground floor, there is a good-sized drawing room, an additional sitting room and a lovely light dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room has a traditional look with an Aga and has a scullery, a pantry and laundry rooms close by.

On the first floor, a large landing leads to a spacious principal bedroom, seven further bedrooms and several bathrooms.

Adjacent to Bullen Court is Stable Cottage, which was previously used to provide rental income but would be equally suited to house guests or relatives. Inside, the cottage has a living room, a kitchen/breakfast room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside, a particularly attractive and mature well-maintained garden surrounds the house. At the rear, there is a charming walled garden with an area of gravel, a stone terrace, a level lawn and two greenhouses. To the side, there is another attractive area of garden with a level lawn, some fine mature trees and decorative yew hedging. Also, within the grounds, there is a further extensive area of lawn with an enclosed, all-weather tennis court, an enclosed paddock of just over three acres and a small area of woodland.

From the front, a private driveway sweeps past the main house to an extensive parking area and onto both a double and single garage.
