Description

A beautiful and immaculately presented three-bedroom, Georgian ‘coach house’, with private gardens and garage, set within the elegant conversion of this Grade II listed estate, with eight individual residences sharing eleven acres of tranquil, maintained parkland.

This extraordinary private haven, nestled in the green and leafy Somerset hills, is within easy reach of commuter routes, local historic villages and towns, and not far from beach walks, scenic hacking routes across the Mendips or a multitude of other countryside pursuits. Whether it’s meeting friends for coffee in the Medieval town of Axbridge; shopping and dining in beautiful Wedmore or Wells; playing golf or cycling over the levels; or just relaxing at home and enjoying the estate grounds, Badgworth Court is a perfectly located retreat.

The skilful conversion combines period features, such as the tall arched coach house door, beams, and exposed stonework, with modern comforts and contemporary style in a gentle Farrow & Ball colour palette. The fabulous, vaulted sitting room benefits from natural light flooding in through the high arched, glazed doorway to the garden. An exposed brick chimney breast with a feature log burning stove is a warm focal point framed by stairs on either side leading down to the study and up to the galleried mezzanine. The spacious kitchen is fitted with a range of pale Shaker style units with contrasting granite worksurfaces, with an Aga cooker, an Aga fridge/freezer, integrated appliances and space for a freestanding range cooker. This well-proportioned kitchen allows plenty of space for dining.

An inner hallway with ample built-in storage leads through to what could be used as a downstairs bedroom suite, featuring a double bedroom (currently used as a home office/second sitting room), and a bathroom with a white modern suite and a panelled bath. The current owners have installed lovely French doors from this bedroom/second sitting room which open out into the garden creating a light and inviting versatile room. The principal bedroom suite is situated upstairs, with a bank of built-in wardrobes, a spacious ensuite bathroom and dual aspect windows looking out over the gardens and countryside beyond. The third double bedroom is also on the first floor and is adjacent to a shower room, with plenty of extra built-in storage on the landing.

Outside, the property is approached via electric double gates that are security coded, leading down a sweeping driveway flanked by fields to Badgworth Court where there is residents and visitor allocated parking. Number six benefits from two allocated parking spaces and in addition a private driveway with further allocated parking adjacent to the house with potential for an EV charger. From each side of the house there is access to private walled gardens and landscaped terraced seating areas, lawns and colourful flower beds filled with an abundance of perennials, shrubs and roses. The eleven-acre estate also encompasses beautiful, formal gardens, parkland and a walled kitchen garden for use by all the residents. Number six also benefits from a large garage located towards the rear of the estate grounds.
