Outside
Cooks Farm from the front elevation looks to be a traditional Somerset Longhouse yet from the rear, the aesthetics are far from typical. The combination of traditional Blue Lias stone elevations and striking larch clad extension provides the wow factor with the back drop of Dundon Beacon behind it. Approached over a gravel driveway there is ample parking and an oak framed open-fronted double garage, large wood store and superb office/gym, fully insulated and supplied with broadband for those who desire working from home facilities separate from the main home.
A large sun deck extends from the rear elevation where a canopy provides shade when needed, sit back, relax and appreciate the panoramic views from its elevated position. Approaching an acre, the garden is a delight, well considered and thoughtfully designed with its due-south facing aspect in mind. Divided by a mature beech hedge the initial part of the garden is lawned and edged with beautiful and generously stocked flowering borders. Also elevated, is a large stone terrace with grape vine and glazed balustrades providing an exceptional entertaining space and vantage point. Beyond is a super kitchen garden, having six raised beds, spectacular greenhouse and potting shed. An expansive lawn is edged with mature berry hedgerows and trees and affords a lovely variety of mature trees including peach, apple, pear and walnut. There is a childrenâs play area at the foot of the garden with recently installed climbing wall. The very foot of the garden is a quite special part of the home, here located another seating terrace where in one direction there are uninterrupted views across the open fields, and in the opposite a view back up to Cooks Farm, so lovely that it is where our current owners realised they simply must buy it!
