Long Street, High Ham, Langport, TA10

A charming, period, Blue Lias constructed four bedroomed detached residence, nestled along a quiet country lane with 9.33 acres of land, various outbuildings and wonderful, manicured gardens.


Gawlers Farm accessed by a wooden gate at the end of the Lavender ladened driveway, a welcoming entrance to suit a wonderful home. As you enter the main house via the covered front porch, the centrally located hallway provides access to all the reception rooms of the ground floor. To the left is the nicely square living room with open fire and its decorative mantle. To the right of the hallway is the dining room , with feature stone fireplace surround which is adjacent to the dual aspect, kitchen breakfast room with solid wood, wall and base level units and seating area for a table. From the kitchen is the rear utility room for housing appliances, a sink, WC and access to the rear of the house/driveway.
To the rear of the house is the family room/snug , a lovely room to retire to in the evening with its log burner sat on a Blue Lias hearth recessed into a feature stone fireplace with original bread oven still present. From here, a covered doorway leads into the rear internal store room/boot room and eventually to the rear/driveway.
Stairs to the first floor lead to the landing which in turn offers access to all four, front facing bedrooms. All bedrooms are more than capable of taking double beds and all have wonderful front facing views across neighbouring countryside. In between the bedrooms is the family bathroom, a generous size incorporating bath, shower cubicle, WC and hand wash basin and also completes the accommodation on the first floor.

OUTSIDE
The gardens and land of Gawlers Farm totalling just under 2.5 acres is where the property really comes into its own, just above the driveway is the meticulously planted lower orchard with 34 fruit bearing trees create a stunning picture, a gate at the top leads into the upper orchard where mown footpaths and another 28 fruit bearing trees can be found amongst a more wilder setting. Next to the orchard is a very neatly kept growing area consisting of raised beds, 2 greenhouses and a potting shed. A couple of the outbuildings can be found next to the main house, a stone built store and a timber mower shed. Through a pair of gates into the outer gardens where more raised beds, a naturally fed pond and gorgeous seating area allows for a most pleasant outlook over the land above and below. Immediately to the front of the house is blue lias patio and a central foot path splits the front lawn and leads down the rest of the outbuildings and lower yard area. Amongst the outbuildings is a stone built, open fronted store which could easily be converted into stables or annex (subject the necessary planning permission), an open Dutch style barn with lean-to, a pole barn and a covered yard area. The yard has its own access from Long Street enabling easy access for heavier vehicles and/or horse boxes (more information on thew outbuildings available at the office). The remainder of the land totalling circa 6.91 acres stretches Eastward from the main house, gently sloping in areas, nicely enclosed by natural borders filled with mature trees and shrubs with the only access being through the house or the yard.
