Charming, romantic period farmhouse with generous accommodation, a detached cottage, outbuildings and grounds of approx. an acre, in a private setting on the edge of a rural village with a pub, tearoom, bakery and thriving arts community, near Wells and Glastonbury.

The house, sympathetically restored by the previous owners (professional architectural restorers), includes a central reception hall, 3 reception rooms, a farmhouse kitchen, rear hall, utility room, shower room, 5 bedrooms, and a large family bathroom.

Outside there is plenty of parking on a gated drive, 3 workshops, a wood store, a lean-to workshop, garden room, potting shed, tool shed, chicken run and timber greenhouse. The gardens are mature and varied with lawn, kitchen garden, woodland, meadow and river frontage. The grounds extend to appox 1 acre.

Lower Godney House is a rustic, period farmhouse, dating back, in its original form, to c1700 with later additions. Features, which have been retained and enhanced include the staircase, the rather special Butler’s Pantry in the rear hall as well as shutters, window seats, exposed beams.

The blue lias flagstone floors throughout the ground level have been re-laid on damp-proof membrane, lime plaster has been used to allow the house to breath and the whole exterior re-rendered and lime washed. Since 2006, this extensive work has also included complete restoration of the roof, as well as renewal of all services.

In addition, a detached Cottage offers further accommodation or potential for income in various forms.
