Description - Yeo Valley View is a wonderfully positioned and versatile Grade II Listed 4-5 bedroom family home with a range of stone outbuildings and two agricultural buildings on the fringes of the popular village of Nymet Rowland. The main house, which would benefit from a schedule of redecoration, benefits from a significant parcel of land amounting to circa 21.12 acres of gently sloping land whilst offering a good opportunity for conversion of the outbuildings.
Accommodation - The front door opens into an entrance hall with a cloakroom/WC and separate shower room. From here, the accommodation opens into the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of wooden wall and base units together with a Rayburn.
Steps rise from the kitchen to a snug, which could also be used as a fifth bedroom or home office. Steps descend from the opposite side of the kitchen to the triple-aspect sitting room, where a centrally positioned wood-burning stove forms an attractive focal point. Glazed doors open onto the paved terrace.
Steps lead down from the sitting room to the former roundhouse. Full of character, this versatile room would suit a number of uses, including a dining room, additional sitting room or guest bedroom.
Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first-floor landing, which provides access to four double bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Gardens And Land - A partially covered terrace extends along the southern and eastern elevations of the farmhouse, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and enjoying the far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
The land extends to approximately 21.12 acres and comprises around seven gently sloping pasture fields. The fields are well suited to a range of agricultural and equestrian uses and enjoy an attractive rural setting adjoining the farmhouse.
Stone Barns & Agricultural Buildings - Opposite the main farmhouse are a range of stone outbuildings. These offer the potential for further conversion, subject to gaining the necessary listed building consents.
In addition to the stone outbuildings are two substantial wood framed agricultural buildings.
To the rear of the farmhouse is a useful free standing storage unit.
