This 18th-century stone cottage in Bruton, set on an organic dairy farm, has been lovingly restored. We love the character features, such as the exposed oak frame, inglenook fireplace, and flagstone floors. Whip up some lunch with organic ingredients from the gardens in the hand-built kitchen and then dine in the beautiful garden, surrounded by an array of pretty plants such as wisteria and guauras. Or let your hosts arrange for their chef to provide tasty picnics, afternoon teas and fine dining suppers. This home is ideal for those wanting privacy – there's an oak-framed annexe which has a ground floor bedroom and bathroom. As an optional extra, adjacent to the cottage, an old bull-pen has been converted into a charming open-plan studio – it's an ideal tranquil space for yoga, meditation, writing or painting. Speaking of artistic pursuits, if you love art, you'll adore fashionable Bruton with its galleries and museums. The town is a twenty-minute walk or a four-minute drive away, and you'll find an array of chic restaurants, antique stores and independent boutiques here.

Home truths
There is a large ground floor bedroom and ground floor bathroom in the cottage, but there are two steps up into the ground floor bedroom – there's a single step outside the front door in the courtyard and a single step out from the kitchen down onto the patio
One of the beds in bedroom two is on a raised mezzanine, two adults sharing this bed may need to climb over each other to get in and out.
This cottage is on a working farm with livestock and free-range fowl, so pets are not allowed, and guests do not have access to the farm area for safety reasons
There is parking for up to three cars in the private, gated courtyard, directly beside the cottage, clear of the working farmyard

Here you will find the finest examples of Georgian and Regency-era architecture in Britain,...
