Little England is a charming and substantial period property nestled in the Somerset village of Othery, near the historic market towns of Langport and Somerton. This attractive home, dating from the 1600s with later additions, boasts a blend of mellow brick and natural stone in its construction, offering a quintessentially English lifestyle for an equestrian or country-loving family. The property is situated on a no-through road, ensuring a peaceful setting.
The entrance hall, with original flagstones, connects the front to the rear of the house, leading to a spacious utility and boot room with a downstairs WC, ideal for managing an active outdoor life. The Grain Barn, accessible from both the main house and independently, has been thoughtfully converted into holiday accommodation with an open-plan kitchen and living room, mezzanine bedroom area, and bathroom.
The heart of the home is the kitchen breakfast room that opens to a family room, featuring a wood-burning stove, and access to a terrace for al fresco dining. The kitchen is equipped with solid wood units and a substantial gas and electric range, with a larder nearby for ample storage. The family room is a cozy retreat, while a separate sitting room and formal dining room offer additional living spaces, both with wood-burning stoves and views to the front garden.
