THE PROPERTY

A sophisticated South facing conversion of a former Cheesemaker`s cottage dating back to the early 20th century but completely transformed in 2006 by the architect Charlotte Skene-Catlin and its present owner. It is tucked away in the Somerset countryside yet within easy reach of the A 303

It has been highly acclaimed with an RIBA award in 2007 and featured in Vogue Living and The World of Interiors and The Independent to name but a few!

The aim was to discreetly extend the house with minimal impact to the exterior but with maximum effect internally. Steel beams articulate the join between the old and new structures and stretches throughout the house as a skylight, a bridge of a two way mirror at first floor level and a strip of grilles at ground floor.

The extension is constructed of oak planks from the estate with laminated glass strips in between. A plunge pool is incorporated on the first floor and cut into the rear bank and from the pool, there is access to both bathrooms.

These bathrooms include a slate bath and wet room showers.

There are four/five bedrooms and all fixtures and fittings are non-standard including the door handles and banisters all cast in steel. The large kitchen is fitted with base units and black marble worktops and all appliances. There is under-floor heating on the ground floor, and sophisticated lighting systems.

The Landlord can offer maintenance of the gardens and further serviced arrangements can be made available such as laundry and cleaning services and firewood supplies.

SITUATION

This property is part of the 850 acre Hadspen Estate with its 18th Century gardens set in the Somerset countryside. The Dairy House is set in a country lane in an elevated position with rural views down a small valley with rolling hills.

Both towns are small market towns and offer a good range of local facilities. The A303 lies approximately 3 miles to the South and links with the M3 to provide access to London (approx. 2 hours). Train services to London are either from Castle Cary 2 miles (travelling time approx. 1 hr 40 to Paddington) or from Templecombe 7 miles (travelling time approx. 2 hours to Waterloo).

The area is renowned for its excellent schooling including Port Regis, St Mary`s, Shaftesbury, Sandroyd, Sherborne and Hazelgrove along with several schools in Bruton including Sexeys, Sunny Hill Prep School with Bruton School for Girls and Kings School.
