This rural farmhouse dates back to the 17th century and sits in more than two acres of land - right on the edge of the Quantocks.

Winter’s Farmhouse, in Spaxton, has been completely renovated but retains original period features such as open fireplaces and beamed ceilings.

Upstairs, there is a part-galleried landing with a built-in wardrobe, a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a dressing room, two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

The annexe, known as The Duck House, contains two bedrooms and a wet room, and could be used as a studio or a holiday let.

Outside, the grounds span close to two and a half acres, split into two paddocks, and featuring a split-level terrace with countryside views.

There is also a barn currently used as a garage, which comes with planning permission to raise the roof and create two rooms on an upper level.

Simon Hawley of Fox & Sons commented: “Winters Farmhouse is a beautiful family home with self-contained annexe.

“The original farmhouse dates back to the 17th century and has been subject to complete renovation by the current owners and now provides ample living space and some lovely period features including open fireplaces and original beamed ceilings.

“The property, as a whole, is set in approximately 2.5 acres including two paddocks and a detached barn, presently used as garaging with planning permission for ancillary accommodation over.

“The property offers wonderful potential and flexibility for dual/extended family accommodation or holiday letting income via the annexe with further potential being afforded from the barn with existing planning permission.

“Equally the property has great potential for those with equestrian interests.”
