This eight-bedroom Victorian country residence occupies a plot of just over five acres in an idyllic secluded setting in the heart of Broadway, close to its sister village of Horton and just three miles to the east of Ilminster.

The substantial property, named Bullen Court, was acquired by its current owners in 2021 who have overseen a complete renovation of the house, combining contemporary living with its original charm and giving each room its own distinct ‘personality’.

The house is presented in excellent decorative order throughout, with attention to detail spent on the fine finishing touches.

On the ground floor, the east wing is dedicated to socialising, with two large reception rooms, which easily seat a dozen people each. The newly installed orangery is a particular highlight of the home with its glass, vaulted ceiling, windows to all sides and full-length bifold doors, seamlessly uniting the inside with the outside. This showcase reception space is currently used as a formal dining room.

The west wing of the house incorporates the ‘working’ area of the home including a double kitchen and a pantry, as well as the eighth double bedroom and an ensuite bathroom.

On the first floor, there are seven double bedrooms, three with ensuite facilities, plus two additional family bathrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from having a double shower and a free-standing copper bath within the room.

The property comes with a charming two-bedroom annexe, making it an appealing option for those requiring space for multi-generational living or for those looking for an additional revenue stream. Stable Cottage is beautifully presented and has a sitting room, a kitchen/breakfast room, two bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, the mature grounds offer plenty of privacy and are landscaped with formal lawns, a large terrace area, a walled garden, a wealth of well-established trees, shrubs and colourful flora, and there’s even a tennis court to boot.

The remainder of the grounds are made up of a paddock of just over three acres and a thin strip of woodland.

A private driveway leads to a double and a single garage. There is also a gravel car park with enough space to accommodate up to 15 cars.
