Situation and Amenities
The property is situated in the popular location at the foot of the Blackdown Hills, it is just three miles south of the county town of Taunton. The property is set within unspoilt countryside providing endless opportunities for walking, riding and golfing. Sellicks Green itself is a small hamlet close to both Pitminster and Blagdon Hill, both of which offer local amenities to include a village pub and garage. More comprehensive facilities may be found at Taunton and these are in addition to an excellent shopping centre and mainline railway station. There are excellent schools both in the state and private sectors. Communications to this part of the West Country have greatly improved in recent years with the M5 motorway junctions found at Taunton junction 25 and at Wellington junction 26 providing fast routes to Exeter, Bristol, the Midlands and London.
Description
Sellicks Green Farmhouse (as featured in House Beautiful magazine 2010) was purchased by its current owners in 2005 when it was transformed with a complete re-design and renovation. A former dairy farm built in the 1890s the double fronted farmhouse has attractive stone elevations with brick quoins under a slate roof. They proceeded to extend the house to provide three further bedrooms and increase the size of the kitchen and living areas to take full advantage of the position of the house and to enjoy the superb views over surrounding countryside. The now completed house offers a seamless blend of period features mixed with contemporary additions and fittings. The lighting, flooring and bathroom fittings are all of high quality and combine to produce a versatile accommodation which is designed to take advantage of the wonderful location arranged over three floors. The flow from the inside space through to the garden is exceptional.
An oak framed covered porch leads via a wooden door with glazed panels either side into the entrance hall. The entrance hall has a slate floor and provides access to a cloaks cupboard and cloakroom with low level w/c, wash hand basin and radiator. A door leads into the dining room, which is a stunning dual aspect room with a sash window with a large opening to the sitting room. The sitting room is dual aspect with two windows overlooking the front, one of which is arched. The sitting room centres upon an open fireplace with recessed inset Clearview wood burning stove on a slate hearth with log store to one side and fitted shelves over. Double doors lead to the outside and there are recesses for displays and fitted book shelves.
Sellicks Green Farmhouse has a very modern and contemporary kitchen with high gloss white units and bamboo worktop surfaces which are heat resistant. It has a central island with concealed power points, a sink with inset basin, drainer and mixer tap and extendable attachment. The kitchen also has a range of fitted units with an integrated Siemens cooker with microwave combi and warming drawer and has the luxury of a de Dietrich induction hob. In the corner of the kitchen is the original well, found during the renovations which benefits from a submerged pump, providing free water to an outside hose. The well has been ingeniously incorporated into the kitchen design and is a stunning feature. The kitchen is finished with an Italian travertine floor with under floor heating, recess down lighters together with full height sliding doors leading to a decking area.
On the first floor, there are four bedrooms one with an en-suite shower room and another with an en-suite cloakroom which has low level w/c and wash hand basin plus there is a family bathroom with integrated cupboards, low level w/c, wash hand basin and shower. This room is also utilised to great effect as a laundry room with plumbing and power for washing machine and tumble drier. Bedroom 3 has access to a balcony which offers stunning views over the adjoining paddock and Blackdown Hills beyond.
On the second floor there is a very impressive master bedroom suite with private sitting area which also has access to an additional balcony, which again showcases the stunning views. This suite has five skylights maximising natural daylight to great effect. There is a walk-in dressing room and an en-suite bathroom, with large bath, separate double shower, wash hand basin and low level w/c.
Outside
The property is approached via the village road and an entrance leads to a gravelled parking area and this has access to the double garage/ workshop. The workshop is well fitted with cupboards and shelves and a wide workbench which has ample storage space with shelving and above there is also overhead storage. The workshop also benefits from a polished concrete floor. Adjoining the rear of the workshop there is an open fronted carport.
The gardens at Sellicks Green are a wonderful feature and have been landscaped to include areas of decking which lead on to the lawned garden with various areas for sitting out created from brick and block paving. The garden has many feature flowerbeds and shrub borders and there is great privacy. Charming pathways bisect the lawned area and one path leads to the vegetable garden. The vegetable garden has an area of raised beds and a poly tunnel. There is also a fully fenced chicken run.
The garden leads into the adjoining paddock which extends to approximately five acres, the land is level or gently sloping and offers potential for a variety of livestock uses and provides protection for the property.
