DESCRIPTION

The property stands back from the main road and focusses to the rear over its garden and adjoining land with a view to Crook Peak and Wavering Down on the Mendips.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an extensive range of floor and wall units with built in appliances and space for range cooker and American larder fridge.

OUTSIDE
Watersmeet Farm is approached from the road over a wide driveway to one side of the house, which initially allows access only for one neighbour. The drive leads down the side of the house with a five bar gate onto a front parking area, and continues to a more extensive parking area beside the rear entrance, which has a pedestrian gate into the rear garden, under an oak canopy to the rear lobby.
LAND & BUILDINGS
The wide drive continues through a farm gate with a track leading to the extensive yard and outbuildings. Beside the drive is a useful turnout paddock with area very suitable for menage, beyond that the track leads out to the further land and field used as a small caravan site with 10 hook ups. There is a toilet and wash block, large hard standing and glorious views over countryside to the Mendip Hills. The large field has river frontage with fishing rights (see land plan). Further land can be available by separate negotiation.
