- Description
- Occupying a prized setting in the picturesque village of Sutton Montis, this period property offers a rare opportunity to restore and personalise a home of considerable character. Constructed predominantly of natural stone under a tiled roof, Laburnum House extends to approximately 3,145sq/ft (including annexe) and has been thoughtfully extended over time. Now requiring modernisation, the property presents immense potential for enhancement and possible reconfiguration.
The property is approached via a tarmac driveway leading to the front of the house, framed by established hedging and mature planting. To the rear lies a peaceful and beautifully arranged garden, featuring a paved terrace and far-reaching views towards Cadbury Castle. The garden is enclosed by beech hedging and traditional stone walling, creating a well-defined and sheltered outdoor space.
The principal garden is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with a herbaceous border and a rose bed, and further enhanced by a variety of mature specimen trees including yew, damson, rowan, mulberry and eucalyptus. A substantial garden building, currently used as a shed and benefitting from both power and water, offers excellent scope for conversion to a guest suite or home office, subject to the necessary planning consents.
A wooden gate leads through to a productive kitchen garden with a greenhouse alongside an attractive insulated studio — ideal for creative or quiet pursuits. From here, a garden gate opens into two gently sloping paddocks which frame the rear of the property and provide an unspoilt backdrop of open countryside.
A stable block is positioned to one side, comprising a loose box, tack room and feed store, together with an insulated garage — all benefitting from power and water connections. Beyond the stable yard, a striking avenue of Italian oak trees rises to the top of the second paddock, from which glorious sunset views stretch towards Glastonbury Tor. This upper section also connects to the lane and could, subject to consents, provide an alternative principal access if desired.
Agent’s Note: An additional paddock, extending to approximately 3.5 acres, is available by separate negotiation.
