This substantial property with equestrian facilities occupies an elevated position on a 49.18-acre plot, on the edge of the popular village of West Bagborough in the heart of the Quantock Hills.

The property, named Bashford Stables, has an unrivalled location with outstanding views over the Vale of Taunton, while the nearest amenities are two miles to the south in Bishops Lydeard, and Taunton is eight miles away.

The farm was previously a racing yard and now includes a substantial, characterful modern house, an impressive four-bay garage with accommodation, a stable yard, a modern agricultural building, an outdoor riding arena and south-facing pastureland.

The main house was built around 16 years ago and was designed to offer versatile living accommodation arranged over three floors. It is a characterful home with large fireplaces, wooden beams and oak flooring as well as classic room proportions providing plenty of natural light.

Inside, the sitting room features a wood burner set into a stone fireplace and has double patio doors that open to the south-facing terrace. The snug/lounge also has a wood-burner and direct access to a Jack and Jill shower room.

The spacious kitchen/family room forms the hub of the home. The traditional kitchen has solid oak units, integrated appliances and a walk-in larder.

On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room and a dressing room, two further bedrooms benefit from ensuite bathrooms. A further bedroom/media room with a shower room can be found in the basement.

Further separate accommodation can be found in a lodge above the four-bay garage. This living space has three double bedrooms, two wet rooms and an open plan living area with bifold doors opening out onto a full width balcony.

Outside, gardens circle the house and are mainly laid to lawn. Panoramic views of the surrounding countryside can be seen from the south-facing veranda and terrace,

while a walled vegetable garden can be found to the rear.

Other buildings on the site include a storage barn, a yard with 28 stables and tack stores – and where there is planning consent for the creation of two attached dwellings. There is also an outdoor riding arena.
