The Hall The Hall is a fine example of a newly refurbished Grade II Listed Georgian house with rendered elevations and stone quoins under a mainly slate roof. Having acquired the property in 2007, the current owners have undertaken a complete renovation of the whole house using a specialist heritage conservation contractor, incorporating high quality materials and with consideration given to modern family living. The rear Victorian extension was totally re-built and the whole house was re-plumbed, re-wired and rerendered. The chimneys were re-built in Bath stone. Importantly, the provenance of the house is largely intact with a fine pedimented entrance, classical proportions, high ceilings, sash windows, flagstone and hardwood floors combining beautifully with state of the art technology and systems. The house has a wireless Nuvo sound system and heating controls with under floor heating in most rooms and a new pressurised water system ensuring that all bathrooms can be in use at the same time. The Hall is a truly impressive residence with exquisite features and sophisticated open-plan living space with a wonderful large kitchen / breakfast room, fitted with Dinesen Douglas Fir flooring, a large marble island and and integrated Miele and Gaggenau appliances, Gessi taps and a Kohler sink. There is also a cosy sitting room, private study, drawing room with French windows and beautifully appointed dining room. The lower ground floor provides a games room, wine store, fully fitted cinema room, workshop and stores.

Upstairs, the master bedroom forms a wing spanning the whole front elevation of the house on the first floor with a luxurious bathroom featuring a Megius Wellbox steam shower, Antonio Lupi fittings and Gessi taps and an ensuite dressing room. There is a further bedroom and a shower room as well as a usefully positioned laundry room. The second floor provides four large bedrooms, a large family bathroom and a shower room. All other bath and shower rooms have Catchole and Rye fittings and Boffi taps.

Coach House The stone and tile built coach house is set in the North West corner of the property with access past the main house via a spur off the main entrance drive. The building has two sets of double doors and is currently used for ancillary stores to the main house, garden and machinery storage. In 2010, the owners gained planning and listed building consent to convert part of the coach house for permanent staff accommodation; change of use and conversion of coach house to form ancillary accommodation (Ref 50/09/00087 and 50/09/00088). Please note that this has now lapsed and would need to be applied for again. Gardens and Grounds Approached via wrought iron gates set on stone pillars, The Hall stands centrally to the village in an elevated position with distant views toward the Mendip Hills and Cheddar. There is ample parking at the front of the house with additional parking to the rear and down by the coach house. The gardens and grounds around The Hall provide wide borders with fine specimen trees including Beech and Mountain Cedar, sheltering the house and grounds. The owners have recently laid a new gravel terrace and pathways around the house, with a gate in the north east corner giving access to a lane leading to the centre of the village. There are plans to create a Mediterranean garden off the western façade. There is also a hard tennis court on the northern boundary.
