Property Summary
This elegant Grade II listed Georgian home, dating from the early 1800s, forms part of a historic farming landscape in the sought-after village of Faulkland. Built of ashlar stone beneath a slate roof, the property displays a beautifully proportioned façade, with sash windows overlooking a private walled front garden, complete with a gentle running fountain and enclosed by mature hedging. Owned for nearly five years by the current occupants the house offers light-filled interiors with high ceilings, generous room sizes and far-reaching views, including glimpses of the Westbury White Horse. ‘The house has amazing proportions and is in a really peaceful and quiet, yet incredibly well-connected location,’ say the owners.
Arranged over three floors, the layout includes a kitchen, dining room and reception room on the ground floor, with four double bedrooms set across the upper levels. The dining room is a particular highlight, with flagstone floors, large windows and a wonderful sense of space. Recent improvements include repairs to the flagstone flooring, replastering of fireplaces, a new living room floor, updated electrics, a new oil boiler and the addition of a shower and new flue for a wood burner. ‘The dining room is especially special – the proportions, light and original features make it a joy to spend time in,’ the owners add.
Outside, the gardens wrap around the house, offering a ‘secret garden’ feel to the front and open countryside views beyond, with planting including fig, gooseberry, jasmine and clematis. ‘We’ve loved hosting barbecues and gatherings here – it’s such a sociable and welcoming space,’ they say. Private gated off-street parking for two to three cars adds a practical and highly desirable convenience, completing this well-balanced and attractively situated home. The surrounding area offers exceptional walking, with footpaths, bridleways, a nearby bluebell wood and even an ancient long barrow within easy reach. Babbington House hotel and spa is just a short distance away.
‘It’s a unique home set in a peaceful yet well-connected location close to Bath, Frome and excellent transport links.’
‘There’s a wonderful sense of community here – friendly and supportive, while still respecting privacy.’
‘We love the incredible walks in every direction, from the bluebell wood nearby to the rolling Somerset countryside.’
‘Local spots like The George Inn, Tuckers Grave pub and Mells make this a really special place to live.’
‘We’ll miss the feeling of the house most – its light, character and the way it sits softly within the landscape.’
