4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Bridgwater

2 4 2

Farriers Rest boasts a little over 2246 square feet of beautifully crafted accommodation, forming part of an attractive edge of village development of just three individual new homes, nestled in the former orchard of Bowerings Farm. This is a wonderful and rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful new home in one of the Poldens favoured villages. Anticipated build completion Autumn 2026.

Accommodation
Farriers Rest is bursting with gorgeous features and has been tastefully appointed to provide the perfect lifestyle choice for families, professionals and active retired buyers alike.

The main house comprises a statement living/dining/kitchen space that spans the rear elevation of the house and is flooded with natural light from a pinnacle sky lantern within the orangery extension, together with large picture window affording fantastic views over the garden. Warmed by underfloor heating throughout the entire ground floor and giving direct access onto the patio terrace and garden, this heart of the home room is a relaxed space that draws everyone together. Keen cooks will be impressed by the vast worktop space, focal centre island and premium integrated appliances. A bespoke utility and laundry room is fitted to match. The theme of space continues as a generous reception hallway with ample storage links seamlessly to the cloakroom and particularly well proportioned main living room, dual aspect with outlook to the front of the home and a particularly pleasant outlook over the garden to the rear.

To the first floor there are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, all complemented by beautifully designed bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite is thoughtfully designed providing a dressing area and en-suite shower room. All bedrooms enjoy an outlook towards a beautiful Victorian farm and its distinctive stone outbuildings to the front, or unrivalled far reaching views across open countryside towards the Mendip Hill range at the rear.

The back to back double garage is substantial (35sq metres) and has been designed with a vaulted roof and velux skylight for additional mezzanine storage and hobbies space should it be desired. The garage is complete with remote controlled roller door, power and lighting.

Outside
Without hesitation, one of Farriers Rest's strongest attributes is its exceptional position in the village. The approach is via a quiet country lane, ensuring passing traffic is minimal and turning through a gated and walled entrance onto a gravelled driveway beyond. A generous depth and full width patio stretches the rear elevation of the house, laid with attractive Indian Sandstone to provide a farmhouse terrace that is genuinely capable of seating the whole family! It makes for a wonderful private spot to enjoy a barbecue and immediately steps onto a vast lawned garden, enclosed on all sides and a newly planted laurel hedgerow lining the northern boundary. The garden will be shortly planted with shrubs and hedging to ensure that in years to come, it will be a delight to behold.

Location
Shapwick is a highly regarded Somerset village set in an elevated position mid-way along the Polden Hills, overlooking the open landscapes of the Somerset Levels. A peaceful rural environment underpinned by a strong and active community.

The village is particularly well known for its attractive period homes, historic church and welcoming village hall all contributing to its established and well-balanced character.

At the heart of village life is the well-regarded independent Dovecote School, making Shapwick especially appealing to families seeking a supportive and close-knit setting. The village café provides a popular social hub for residents and visitors alike, while the cricket pavilion and adjoining playing fields are a focal point for local sport, events and summer gatherings, reinforcing the village’s strong community spirit.

Shapwick is surrounded by countryside and nature reserves, including nearby Shapwick Heath. The village offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and wildlife watching. Despite its rural setting, Shapwick is conveniently positioned for access to Street, Glastonbury and Bridgwater, where a wider range of shops, cafés, leisure facilities and secondary schooling can be found.

Transport links are also well placed, with the A39 and M5 motorway at Junction 23 within easy reach, providing straightforward connections to Bristol, Taunton and Exeter. Rail services from Bridgwater and Castle Cary offer mainline routes to London Paddington.

Shapwick offers an appealing blend of countryside living, community-focused amenities and strong connectivity, making it a consistently popular choice for those seeking village life without isolation.

Directions
From Street, take the A39 towards Bridgwater. After a short distance, take the turning signposted for Shapwick and follow the road into the village. Continue through Shapwick and turn left into Blacksmiths Lane, where the property will be found along the lane.
