6 bedroom detached house for sale

Set in over 2.5 acres, Coldharbour Farm is a particularly spacious and highly individual modern 6 bedroom detached house in a lovely hillside position with far reaching southerly views and is surrounded by picturesque Somerset countryside.

The grounds and the house have been beautifully maintained, with the property itself being completely restored and enlarged to twice its original footprint. It provides a home that fulfils all the requirements that today’s family lifestyle demands, with flexible and versatile spaces that can easily adapt to any changing needs. The kitchen, nevertheless, solidly remains the sociable heart of this country home, a place where family can come together and discuss the events of the day. The seating area allows for children to watch television or finish homework whilst the evening meal is prepared, or a place where friends may gather with a glass of wine before dinner. The L-shape of the spacious sitting room allows for further versatility and offers the opportunity to ‘zone’ the space for a variety of uses, such as a library area, dining or music area.

This beautiful home offers accommodation adjoining the house that would be ideal for an older child returning from University, elderly relatives, a live-in nanny or indeed as a guest suite. With access from the main house, but also with its own separate entrance, it offers complete privacy when required, but the chance to interact fully with the activities of the main house.

Coldharbour Farm is approached via a private lane with electric gates opening into a sweeping driveway. The grounds allow for a large garage block for four cars, with a carport area accommodating a further two cars, and parking for many more vehicles when required. The gardens are ideal for entertaining; the current owners hosted a superb marquee wedding reception for well over 100 guests with consummate ease. There is also a small woodland area and a stone built stable block which can also be accessed by a second gated driveway.

The property is located just outside the friendly village of Timsbury which offers a chemist, a doctors’ surgery, a number of shops, a primary school, ‘The Seven Stars’ pub, a renowned fish and chip shop ‘Our Plaice’, Meadgate Farm Shop and a village hall. Cricket and football teams, indoor bowls, snooker and a tennis court are also on offer. ‘The Pig’, the mellow country house hotel and restaurant is about 4 miles away and Babington House, part of the renowned Soho House chain, is 6 miles away. The centre of Bristol is 13 miles away and it is 7.7 miles to the centre of Bath. M4 Junction 18 is approximately 17 miles away.
