A truly rare opportunity to develop an impressive detached house extending to 4200 square feet (390 square metres) plus garage block with home office in 1.5 acres of unspoilt Somerset countryside on the edge of rural Huxham Green.

LOCATION:

Huxham Green is a delightful rural Hamlet arranged around common land and situated some 7 miles to the North of Castle Cary and within only 3 miles from the village of Ditcheat made famous by Paul Nichols Racing Stables. The surrounding countryside is some of Mid Somerset's most attractive and perfect for country pursuits. The area also enjoys a network of country lanes leading towards Street and Glastonbury providing a scenic drive to Millfield Senior and Millfield Prep Schools. The A37 is easily accessible providing a good road link to Bath and Bristol and South to the A303.

DIRECTIONS:

From the A37 at Wraxall Cross with the Queens Arms pub on the crossroads take the road westwards. Continue for a few hundred yards and take the first turning left. Continue to a crossroads in the hamlet of Huxham and head straight over into the "No through" road, you are now on Huckeymead Lane (with the village duck pond to your left). Continue past Lower Huxham Farm on your left, at the end of the lane you will reach Huckeymead.

DESCRIPTION:

The development plot is in a wonderful secluded setting in approximately 1.5 acres of land approached along a track leading from the common in the centre of the hamlet. Detailed planning consent has been granted for the removal of a small cottage to be replaced with a traditionally designed stone built house providing approximately 4200 square feet (390 square metres) of accommodation including a large entrance hall with central staircase to a galleried landing, five reception rooms a kitchen/breakfast room, laundry and shower/boot room. The first floor design provides six bedrooms, a master bedroom with ensuite and dressing room, two ensuite bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The land holding allows space for the creation of a garden and the enjoyment of a field enclosed by ancient hedgerow and oak trees. A new barn style building is included in the design featuring a three bay car port and 650 square feet (60 square metres) of first floor home work space with a cloakroom and kitchen.

Development sites of this size and location are extremely rare in this area and viewing is recommended.
