In 2005 dreamy pictures and an alluring editorial headline reading “Period manor house in need of substantial refurbishment” attracted widespread interest across the UK and overseas. Marketed with a guide of £900,000 - £950,000 this historic, elegant and sizeable farmhouse, offered a traditional courtyard, walled Victorian vegetable garden, 12 acres of land and a tennis court - set in the heart of Somerset countryside.
The property was however blighted by proximity to a main trunk road. Nonetheless, over 500 brochures were requested, 80 viewings were held and 12 buyers bid to secure the site. Despite the need to re-roof, re-wire, re-plumb, update kitchen and bathrooms, the stature and architectural heritage won over the negativity of the nearby road and offered this wonderful house the chance to be restored to its former glory. |
