THE PROPERTY Located in one of South Somerset's finest hamlets, Black Hall is a distinguished country home with origins dating back to 1625, although elements within the house have been suggested to be even older. Great versatility is demonstrated both internally and within the grounds, with the potential for adaptation to suite a large variety of needs within the house and for equestrian enthusiasts to create a well-equipped yard using the existing outbuildings, to give but one example of the wide range of uses that could be achieved here.

Having been the subject of a year-long restoration project under the current A fantastically historic home in a semi-rural position with versatile ownership, the property is well maintained whilst still retaining much of the original character typical of a Tudor long house, including an impressive accommodation, plenty of character and a range of outbuildings. inglenook fireplace in the drawing room, exposed beams in many rooms and stone mullioned windows to the front aspect. Another improvement made during the renovation works was the conversion of an adjoining 2 storey barn/ garage to create a ground floor cloakroom and study and a first floor en-suite bedroom, both of which have independent access to outside, thus offering a wonderful opportunity to establish an annexe, bed and breakfast opportunity or holiday let, subject to any necessary consents being obtained.

Due to the architectural style typical of Tudor buildings, Black Hall benefits from a series of reception rooms in addition to a farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with an oil-fired 4 oven Aga, allowing for separate spaces for day-to-day family life and more formal occasions if desired. The living rooms both enjoy fireplaces, with a log burner creating a relaxing atmosphere in the sitting room whilst the inglenook fireplace forms a striking focal point in the drawing room, the perfect place to gather guests either side of dinner in the adjoining dining room or to unwind during winter evenings.

On the first floor, 6 bedrooms, 5 of which enjoy double proportions and 3 with en suite bath-or shower rooms, provide space for all the family, and domestic elements have been thought out carefully throughout including 2 family bathrooms, a larder accessed from the kitchen and a utility/boot room, into which the rear door opens. This room is thoughtfully fitted with a tiled floor, a Belfast sink, plumbing for a washing machine and oil-fired boiler, making this an excellent place to enter the property with muddy boots, dogs and equipment. OUTSIDE Black Hall sits on a plot of approximately 0.9 of an acre, with an adjoining field of 8.5 acres available by separate negotiation. The house sits to one side of a gated, concrete yard giving access to all the outbuildings including 2 stables with a pedestrian passage between for feeding, a former calf shed with an enclosed holding box and bull pen, a large open-plan barn for storage and a covered yard offering parking for a number of vehicles or machinery storage. From the top of the yard there is gated access to the additional land which would provide excellent grazing for livestock or horses or could be adapted to provide equestrian facilities, if purchased alongside Black Hall.

An area of lawn and a vegetable garden are established to the rear of the property, with openings between the storage barn and the garden suggesting a fantastic all-weather venue for large gatherings and parties at any time of year. Parking is well provided for throughout the yard, and the vast curb appeal of the property is complimented by an easily maintained area of walled garden to the front of the house.
