Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This eco-conscious home is just how you'd wish for an escape to the countryside – close to Bath, yet set in peaceful woodland, with wildlife to spot by day and stargazing at night. The family dog can come along too, making it easy to spend your days on long walks around the estate and beyond. Back at home, start your morning with coffee outside in privacy and end it with family games before ending it in the tub – exactly how a country retreat should be. All that's missing is a good book and nowhere to be.

About Somerset
Somerset is all about Glastonbury, right? Well, think again! There's a certain town-meets-country charm here that is enticing increasing numbers of stressed city dwellers seeking solace. And who can blame them? Rat race relocators are abandoning their crowded commutes, searching for a bucolic idyll. But one where you can still get a decent flat white – that's an absolute must.
