You enter the property via a small lobby into the dining room with solid oak floors and a dual aspect wood burning stove which is shared by the neighbouring sitting room making it a great space for cosy winter evenings. Leading on from here is the study or fourth bedroom and a cloakroom. Also on the ground floor is the contemporary open plan kitchen, breakfast and family room which offers a great modern living space with double doors leading out to the terrace and garden. From here is the utility room and a rear lobby which makes a very useful storage area/boot room. The first floor can be approached at either end of the property as it benefits from two staircases. From the dining room you have a double bedroom and a bathroom and from the sitting room are two further bedrooms and a bathroom, a spacious hallway which is currently used as a fifth bedroom separates the two wings. The south westerly facing garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature plants and shrubs. There is a terrace at the rear of the property which enjoys all day sun where you can take in the spectacular views across the open countryside and the 12th century Norman church. At the front the property is a charming seating area with box hedging. There is a designated parking space for the property at the side of the house adjacent to the well. There is also a shared pathway at the side of the property which provides access for bins and recycling etc. Situation Lullington is a village of 24 houses, 2 farms and a 12th century church described by Pevsner as ‘Perhaps the most enjoyable in Somerset.’ The village is 10 miles south of Bath, yet set in secluded countryside with almost no through traffic. The market town of Frome with shops, leisure centre, theatre, cinema and restaurants is just over 2 miles away, whilst the facilities of Babington House are 7 miles away. Bristol International airport is 29 miles to the north west. At the time of the Domesday survey a typical village would have comprised ‘...a cluster of buildings around a green, village pump, road or river crossing with a church and manor house, surrounded by arable fields, common grazing and meadow.’ This description so accurately describes Lullington that it is possible to imagine the village layout has not changed substantially for 1000 years. The adjoining Orchardleigh Estate owned the village until the mid-20th century and there has been little visible alteration to the majority of buildings. A Village Design Statement, produced by villagers and used as a model for other villages, is available to view on request. The unspoilt rural character of the village is greatly valued by the community, and people who move here tend to stay. The Georgian city of Bath, 10 miles away, is one of only 3 world heritage cities and offers a wide variety of leisure and cultural pursuits as well as excellent shopping facilities and communications to London and the south west. There are many sporting opportunities available locally, with golf at Orchardleigh within easy walking distance, rugby at Bath and Bristol, racing at Salisbury, Bath and Wincanton, and sailing on the Shearwater and Chew Valley lakes. There are syndicated fishing and shooting opportunities available locally as well as many bridleways, cycle ways and footpaths through the Orchardleigh Estate and beautiful surrounding countryside. There are many good schools in surrounding areas and villages including Beckington, Frome and Warminster with the excellent schools in Bath also within reach. postcode BA11 2PQ Directions From Bath head South on Brassknocker Hill and at the traffic lights turn right onto the A36 and follow the road for approximately 5.5 miles.
