This substantial detached house sits within grounds of around 0.8 acres on the western outskirts of the pretty village of Broadway, nestled at the foot of the Blackdown Hills, and is just three miles from Ilminster. By being in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty there is easy access to a plethora of footpaths and bridleways.

The five-bedroom dwelling, named Hilltop House, comes with an adjoining barn and a small commercial annexe which was once the local village store and, more recently, a hair salon. This area has now been subdivided to provide further ancillary accommodation.

Inside, the property is spacious and beautifully presented. Reception rooms include a family room with an open fire and double doors that open to the garden, a sitting room with a bay window and an open fireplace with an inset wood burner, and a large playroom. The bright galley-style kitchen/ breakfast room is fitted with cream units, wooden worksurfaces and doors that lead to the veranda. The adjoining conservatory offers lovely views over the garden and has a door to the sun terrace. The ground floor is completed by a dining room, a boot room, a utility room and a large study which links to the playroom.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, while the second bedroom also has an ensuite shower room.

Outside, private gardens extend to approximately 0.8 acres and include expanses of lawn, mature shrubs, an extensive range of fruit trees, plus a highly productive vegetable and fruit garden with a large polytunnel and greenhouse. A veranda at the front and side of the house provides a charming, covered seating and dining area while hard landscaping softened by raised flower beds connects the house and the barns.

The array of outbuildings includes a large garage workshop and further storage spaces.
