Holt Farmhouse is a large brick and flint property that has been completely renovated, similar to a grand design style project. It was a derelict Somerset farmstead and through much vision, investment and dedication, it is now a stunning farmhouse with two superb barn conversions opposite (rented separately) and all set within 140 acres of glorious Somerset countryside. The property remains a working farm, let to a local farmer who may use the land to graze his cows and sheep.

Holt Farmhouse also has fast broadband supplied via satellite as rural broadband is too slow!

Cloakroom

Just off the hall is a cloakroom with W.C. and sink.

Family Room

Open plan to the kitchen is a superb family sitting area which works very well for people getting together to sit and chat in the stylish comfortable chairs, watch television on the flat screen or playing music through the iPOD dock. There is also a desk for those that need to keep in contact with the office or fire off a few emails instead of using the study. At the back of this area is the staircase that takes you up to the first floor.

Kitchen

A very large and stunning kitchen with pale grey wood painted kitchen, granite worktops, belfast style white ceramic sink and what farmhouse kitchen would be complete without a two oven Aga. There are also a number of other kitchen appliances including a built under one and a half oven, dishwasher and a freestanding American fridge/freezer.

Utility Room

The utility room has the same units and worktops as the kitchen but it also has an integrated washing machine and integrated tumble drier. There is also an exterior door to the front of the property and an internal door into the plant room.

Dining Room

The dining room is an impressive yet intimate area which has original beamed ciling, open fireplace and is stylishly furnished.

Living Room

As with all great houses that work extremelly well as rentals, you have a number of different spaces to go in the house when it is fully occupied. The very comfortable and stylish living room also benefits from a woodburning stove and there is access via a door to a second steep staircase to the first floor.

Study

The multi use study has a desk and sofa which makes it a very cosy room to work in or escape to.

Whilst this bedroom does not have an en-suite, bathroom one is really a dedicated bathroom for bedroom one.

If you love space, walking and generally being outdoors then there is a whole lot of space to explore. With large gardens, an orchard and the 140 acres to enjoy, this is really an exceptional place to be.

Gardens

The beautiful gardens span three sides of the property and are mainly lawned with apple and pear trees dotted about. There is a table and chairs outside as well as a gas barbeque for those summer evenings. Just down in front of the patio of the garden, there is a duck pond which is fenced in.

The Orchard

If the trees are producing fruit then help yourself to the abundance of apples and pears.This is also a great place to picnic or let the children run around and explore. There is also a small stream running through the middle of the garden and orchard.

The Holt Farm Estate is made up of 140 acres of fields of lovely Somerset countryside and it also includes a lake and its own woodlands. This is a working farm but you are welcome to walk along the estate where marked. Children must be accompanied and dogs must be on a lead.

Duck Pond

Just below Holt Farmhouse there is a fenced in duck pond with its own resident ducks!

Lake

If you venture up across the fields then you will come across a lake that regularly is populated by quite a number of ducks. This area is fenced in but you are welcome to take a picnic and sit in this extremelly peaceful area. Sometimes you may also see some of the fish that live in the lake.

Woodlands

Take a stroll up the track and take the marked paths through the woodlands. There are all sorts of trees, animals and flowers in the woodlands and sometimes some of the wild deer will graze here. We will ask you to be careful at some times of the year not to disturb nesting birds.

Fields

Feel free to enjoy the space and freemdom of our fields and walk up to the Old Bothy which the owners will probably refurbish in the future.

Note: If you have adventurous children then they must keep away from the farm buildings to the rear of The Old Barn and The Calf House. As this is a working farm, there is farm machinery, slurry pits and other hazards associated with farms. There is also a stream running through the bottom of the valley which can get very fast after rainfall so we recomend that children are always supervised.
