Descrizione della casa che offriamo

***We have arranged swaps for 2024***

We live in a small quiet village which is in a very rural setting surrounded by open countryside. We live in a 4 bedroom detached house with a large private garden.

Downstairs we have a kitchen/diner with french windows that open out onto the patio and to a covered outdoor seating area. The kitchen has a dishwasher, oven with 5-ring induction hob, fridge, freezer and air fryer. Also downstairs is the living room with wood burner; conservatory/garden room; play room; utility room with washing machine; and a downstairs toilet. We have various free streaming services plus Amazon Prime video, DVDs/blu-rays and games consoles that you can use.

Upstairs:
- Bedroom 1: Master bedroom. Large room, double bed, modern en-suite with a walk-in shower and TV. Dual aspect windows.
- Bedroom 2: Single bedroom (Rowan's bedroom).
- Bedroom 3: Small bright room, single bed. You need to walk through this bedroom to reach Bedroom 4 but we have put curtains up to give some privacy.
- Bedroom 4: Large double room. En-suite toilet and electric shower. Roof-light windows.
- Modern family bathroom with shower over bath

The garden is a good size and well established with many plants, a pond and big trees to provide lots of shade. We have a climbing equipment for children and outdoor toys. The garden backs onto a field with cows in the summer.

The house is well equipped for primary school aged children with books and toys plus lots of board games for all ages. We have a stairgate available if required. We have two fold-up adult bicycles and one bike for a child (18" wheels/child height 112 - 126cm).

Vicinato

Descrizione del vicinato e dei paraggi

We moved to our house in Oct 2019 and the village has a lovely community spirit. The village is in a rural setting and is very peaceful at night. Within the village (within 600m) are a small children's playground, resurfaced tennis courts, basketball court, skate ramps. The village shop which is well stocked with essentials and has a Post Office and we have a popular pub The Devonshire Arms and a hairdresser. A pizza van and fish and chip van visit the village once a week. There are walks from the village onto the Somerset Levels which is level walking along rivers and fields. The local small market towns of Somerton and Langport 5 minutes drive away with small supermarkets, bakeries, butchers, libraries, cafes, pharmacies and a swimming pool.

I nostri consigli su cosa non perdere in questa zona

We provide a comprehensive folder of local information and maps and are always keen to suggest things to do and help with any questions.

You can go on rural walks from the house around the unique landscape of the Somerset Levels a huge area of wetland which was once covered by the sea. You will be reliant on a car to visit most places beyond as unfortunately we don't have any public transport to the village. Whilst we don't have the dedicated cycle infrastructure of other countries there are lots of flat country lanes to cycle along and explore the surrounding countryside (we have two adult fold up bikes and one 18" wheel bike approx age 6+). We also enjoy local simple activities such as town trails around Langport and Somerton and doing https://www.treasuretrails.co.uk/ around local towns and strolls around nearby villages.

Within a short drive you can reach hills such as Glastonbury Tor (30 mins) which rise up from the Levels to give magnificent far reaching views. All around are important important bird and wildlife habitats with a network of rivers and rhynes. Locally you'll find cider farms, willow craft centres, National Trust properties and other historic buildings to visit. Within 30-40 mins drive you can reach any of five different Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: Quantock Hills, Blackdown Hills, Mendip Hills, Dorset, and Cranborne Chase and also the picturesque City of Wells and Sherborne town.

For families in particular we'd recommend the amazing Fleet Air Arm Museum (12 mins), Somerset Rural Life Museum (25 mins), Ham Hill (16 mins) and Yeovil Country Parks (25 mins), Haynes Motor Museum (18 mins). Some bigger fun parks further afield are Crealy (1 hr), Brean Splash (50 mins) and Puxton Park (50 mins). Longleat Safari Park (45 mins) is popular. There are activity centres for horse trekking and canoeing/kayaking. The Mendip Activity Centre (1hr) has lots of fun activities including caving, archery and tobogganing. The West Somerset Railway (45 mins) is a nice long ride all the way to Minehead seaside town. There is a soft play centre in Somerton and a horse welfare centre within 10 minutes drive.

In about an hour you can drive to Exmoor National Park, attractions such as Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole, the Somerset coast (Watchet/Minehead/Weston-super-Mare), Dorset's coast (Jurassic coast, Lyme Regis, West Bay, Weymouth, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door). Stonehenge World Heritage Site is an hour away by car (you may well pass it on your journey to our house).

The cities of Bristol, Bath and Exeter are reachable for day trips and we provide information on how to get there. Oxford is 2 hours drive away. Laura used to live/work in Oxford for nearly 20 years so can offer lots of practical advice. London is possible too but it would be a long day! If you did decide to stay over somewhere and were looking after our cat we can arrange for Sean's parents to feed the cat whilst you are away.

Preferenze

Cosa ci piace, cosa non gradiamo… Ecco le regole in casa nostra.

We would just like you to enjoy our house and look after it as you would expect us to look after yours.
We have a very affectionate cat Trixie who can either stay with you in the house or she can stay with Sean's parents nearby. Either option is fine.
We have some indoor plants that will need probably need watering if the weather is hot. We may have a limited amount of produce growing in the garden that will need watering.
