Libby loves- “The house is a mix of the old Victorian, which was professional restored, up-dated and extended by local builder. It is in the countryside, but only a short drive to Wellington town centre with its good range of shops, including Waitrose and Lidl, and private and state schools.

The owner loves- “The property is situated in open countryside with views to the Black-down hills (Wellington Monument), Quantocks and Brendon hills - and over adjacent (unfarmed) meadows. It is a quiet location, on a no-through country lane serving a few houses and farm. A haven for wildlife - many interesting birds, including raptors (Buzzards, a Goshawk, sparrowhawk, kestrels, egrets, kingfisher, etc) and one can see roe deer, foxes, etc.in the fields. The house has fields on 3 sides and is in a row of houses which have a nice sense of community. There are many woodland and countryside walks only a few minutes’ drive away too. The house is situated in a historic area, former woollen mills with the Millpond and Leat system still in situ providing a wildlife haven."
