SELLERS INSIGHT Squirrel Cottage has been so much more than a beautiful house to us. It has been a place of peace, laughter, friendship and family life. It’s been a home we will always treasure. For our family, the village has been everything we could have hoped for. Holcombe Rogus has a thriving community of young families who have chosen this wonderful village for its lifestyle, excellent primary school and proximity to a sought-after secondary school catchment. That sense of community has enriched our lives in our time here. Our twins have grown up with a kind of freedom that feels increasingly rare today, cycling between neighbours’ houses, returning home with friends in tow for lunch, and spending hours outdoors making dens and memories. The peace and beauty of our surroundings have been equally special. Sitting in the hallway as the morning sun rises, listening to birdsong, watching the two ponies run in the field opposite, or the chirp of crickets on warm summer evenings has been a special part of our lives here. Walking home from the village pub, or after a community event at the village hall (Burn’s Night is a riot), you can see an unspoilt canopy of stars. The house itself has given us room to live in every sense. There has been space for children to play and explore, while we busy parents could always find a quiet corner to relax and chat in front of a fire. We’ve hosted family celebrations, welcomed friends for weekends, and always had room for everyone without ever feeling crowded. Every room of this historic home has its own character, creating a home that feels both timeless and welcoming. Squirrel Cottage has been a privilege to care for. We have loved preserving its history while enhancing it for the future, and we leave knowing it has given us far more than we could ever have expected. Our hope is simply that the next family will experience the same sense of belonging, joy and peace that we have found here, and that Squirrel Cottage will become as special to them as it has been to us. STEP INSIDE Adapted to meet the practicalities of country living, Squirrel Cottage opens into a generous entrance hall and utility room, providing plenty of storage for coats and boots, together with a sink and space for a washing machine.

Sellers Insight Within moments of walking in through the back door, we were hooked, turning to see the first hint of the great views, framed by the Tudor inspired arch…. What is so surprising is that you get no inkling at all as you drive to the house, or from the outside. It’s only when you get to see the other side you get to appreciate the magic of what the elevated position gives. It’s not just a view , it’s a whole landscape…ranging over the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument in the distance, across the end of the valley and west out to glimpses of Exmoor. And such big skies! Both inside and out, we have created spaces where we can sit and enjoy glimpses of the views, landscaping the garden in particular to be able to choose spots to follow the sun, and watch stunning sunsets. And, of course, the view ever changes with the seasons. Plenty of places for calm and quiet working or dreaming, but also great entertaining space. Having family and friends over for barbeques or pizza nights on the deck overlooking the pool, or, on colder nights, all together in the big kitchen for tray-bakes, followed by gathering in cosy rooms around the fires…and on warm summer evenings the big skies turn to dark skies, no light pollution, so plenty of stargazing, competing to find the constellations… Services Shared septic tank for all of the properties Mains water and electricity Oil fired central heating Broadband is currently sourced via Starlink.

It’s only when you get to see the other side you get to appreciate the magic of what the elevated position gives. It’s not just a view , it’s a whole landscape…ranging over the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument in the distance, across the end of the valley and west out to glimpses of Exmoor. And such big skies! Both inside and out, we have created spaces where we can sit and enjoy glimpses of the views, landscaping the garden in particular to be able to choose spots to follow the sun, and watch stunning sunsets. And, of course, the view ever changes with the seasons. Plenty of places for calm and quiet working or dreaming, but also great entertaining space. Having family and friends over for barbeques or pizza nights on the deck overlooking the pool, or, on colder nights, all together in the big kitchen for tray-bakes, followed by gathering in cosy rooms around the fires…and on warm summer evenings the big skies turn to dark skies, no light pollution, so plenty of stargazing, competing to find the constellations… Services Shared septic tank for all of the properties Mains water and electricity Oil fired central heating Broadband is currently sourced via Starlink.

Marsh Mill House is a charming and historic home, positioned within the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dating back to the 17th or 18th century, this versatile seven-bedroom home is being offered to the market for the first time in nearly 60 years, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved family home rich in character and heritage that is now ready for updating. Set within approximately 1.5 acres of established gardens and benefiting from a further 1-acre paddock, the property enjoys an idyllic and private setting surrounded by rolling countryside. A range of useful outbuildings offer excellent potential for a variety of uses—whether as workshops, garaging, or even scope for development (subject to any necessary consents). The house offers generously proportioned accommodation full of period charm and now offering the next owners an exciting opportunity to modernise and reimagine the space while preserving its historical integrity. Whilst the property has a wealth of character it is not currently listed. Great Wood, a vast expanse of ancient woodland of over 900 acres, lies just a short distance away, offering a haven for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts. Additionally, the nearby village of Nether Stowey provides local amenities with shops (one with a post office) church, village hall and pub and a strong sense of community. SELLER INSIGHT When Mum and Dad told us that they’d bought Marsh Mills at auction, it was a dream come true. It meant a move close to our grandparents on the edge of the glorious Quantocks, where we had spent many happy weeks in school holidays. We would live in what seemed like a mansion to five little girls under ten! We would each have our own bedroom; we’d be able to keep hens and a pony. We’d get lost in the maize of box hedges in the beautiful big garden and walk to the village school – now the Village Hall. We would play outside for hours in the garden and surrounding countryside, coming in when the bell above the kitchen rang out across the fields. In the years that followed the old house has been the happiest of family homes, populated by an assortment of chickens, ducks, geese and peacocks; sheep, horses and ponies, not to mention cats and dogs, many of them waifs and strays, who always found a welcome here, along with friends and relatives who needed a place to stay for a while – and five generations of our family, at times four simultaneously under one roof. It’s worth mentioning that long before our time the house welcomed such illustrious guests as the famous romantic poets, Coleridge, Southey and Wordsworth, who were dining at Marsh Mills with the Revd John Poole, when they heard of the death of Robespierre in 1794. It has been a joy and a privilege to call Marsh Mills our home, with its rich history, warm embrace and treasured memories. But it’s time to pass the baton, and we are sure, that whoever takes it up will love Marsh Mills as we, and previous families, have done. The fact that the house has been owned by only four families over the past 250 years speaks for itself! STEP INSIDE Marsh Mill House is rich in original features that speak to its heritage and character. From the flagstone flooring and original staircase in the entrance hall to the butler bell system and the vaulted barrel ceiling on the landing, every corner offers a glimpse into the property’s storied past. On the ground floor, you're truly spoilt for choice. The formal dining room, drawing room, and sitting room all enjoy immediate access to the gardens, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living. A further additional reception room to the rear features an eye-catching Art Deco-style staircase leading to the first floor, adding another layer of period charm. At the heart of the home, the large farmhouse-style kitchen retains its original external bell, once used to call the family in for meals—a delightful and rare detail. Meanwhile, the former game/hanging room has been transformed into a spacious and practical laundry/boot room, complete with original brick flooring. The first floor can be accessed via two staircases and enjoys beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. A choice of seven generously sized double bedrooms also enjoy the views, along with an additional nursery or study. With three bath/shower rooms, the layout caters comfortably to modern family living while retaining the property's historic charm. STEP OUTSIDE Double wooden gates open onto a sweeping driveway, which passes the front of the property and leads to a generous parking and turning area in front of the former cowstalls and stable block. These outbuildings have been partly converted and updated, now offering triple garaging with a games room above, while the original stables still feature charming cobbled flooring and traditional stalls. Adjoining the stables is a large workshop (with vehicular access to the road), a tack room, additional stable, all providing immense potential. Subject to the necessary consents, these buildings offer a fantastic opportunity to create additional living or ancillary accommodation, home office space, or leisure facilities, depending on your needs. The private gardens extend to approximately 1.5 acres and benefit from excellent sunlight throughout the day, thanks to their favourable aspect. Immediately to the front of the house, the gardens adopt a more formal style, with a beautiful array of mature trees, shrubs, and flowering plants framed by neatly clipped box hedging. Meandering pathways guide you through the grounds, past the gardener’s store, and towards a former lawned tennis court, which now provides an additional area of level garden—an ideal space for entertaining or relaxing, with lovely views over the surrounding fields. Adjacent to the property is an additional enclosed paddock of approximately 1 acre, enjoying good road access and the benefit of a mains water connection ideal for equestrian use or a smallholding. SERVICES Private drainage, mains water and electricity are connected. We encourage you to check before viewing a property the potential broadband speeds and mobile signal coverage. You can do so by visiting https://checker.ofcom.org NOTES An insurance claim for subsidence was made in 2003. The associated remedial works included the removal of one oak tree and a Garrya shrub from the garden, as well as internal redecoration. Structural repairs were minimal and primarily involved in filling historic cracks with cementitious grout and re-plastering. No significant structural intervention was required. A new structural survey in 2025 considers Marsh Mill House to be in a reasonable condition for a property of its age and type. The observed cracking is judged to be the result of long-term, historic movement over a minimum period of 21 years. All cracks identified fall within Categories 0, 1, or 2 of the BRE Digest 251 classificatio, meaning they are considered minor and suitable for routine cosmetic repair as part of normal redecoration.

Seller Insight “We fell in love with East Court Farm the moment we arrived. Tucked away down a private lane, it offered the peace, privacy and sense of escape we had been searching for. Once through the gates, it feels as though the outside world simply disappears. The house has a wonderful atmosphere – warm and welcoming in winter with its log burners, yet naturally cool in summer thanks to its thick stone walls. Over the years, we've carefully restored and enhanced it, preserving its character while introducing thoughtful modern additions, including solar panels with battery storage and renewable hot water. Life here has always revolved around nature. From spring wildflowers and abundant wildlife to star-filled skies free from light pollution, every season brings something special. Our son grew up exploring the land, we’ve enjoyed keeping a small flock of sheep, and countless walks begin straight from the doorstep. Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, Tiverton, Exeter, excellent transport links and highly regarded schools are all within easy reach. East Court Farm has been more than a home to us—it has been a sanctuary, and we hope its next owners will cherish it just as much as we have. Morning walks across your own land, evenings beside crackling inglenook fireplaces, family gatherings around the Aga and peaceful moments enjoying uninterrupted countryside views all combine to create an exceptional way of life. Whether welcoming extended family, working from home, keeping animals, cultivating vegetables, or simply escaping the pace of modern living, this is a home that effortlessly adapts to every stage of family life.”

Sellers Insight “I will be very sad to leave Lion Court Lodge. This has been my much-loved home for 34 happy years, and I have always treasured the peace, privacy and tranquillity that comes with living on Dancing Hill. The views are something I will miss enormously. Waking up to the wildlife, with deer, woodpeckers and the dawn chorus, has been a real privilege. Some of my happiest memories have been spent around the swimming pool. On warm summer weekends, it has always been a wonderful gathering place for children, family and friends. Swimming and entertaining after dark, with the pool lights glowing and the stars overhead, has felt quite magical. After 34 years, the time has come for me to downsize. Lion Court Lodge now feels ready for a new family to enjoy everything it has to offer and to make their own special memories here.” Step Inside – The Main House Built for our clients some 34 years ago to exacting standards, Lions Court Lodge is a remarkable individual home, designed from the outset to provide generous and flexible accommodation for two families while making the very most of its elevated position and far-reaching views towards Somerset countryside including Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills.

The drive continues into a more enclosed section, providing access to the outbuildings and cottages, before leading out into the wider gardens and grounds. The majority of the land gently slopes away from the house, creating a sense of space and privacy, while a more level garden area near the property is complemented by a patio and a variety of seating areas perfect for enjoying the surrounding landscape. The boundaries are typical of traditional Exmoor styling, with mature hedging interspersed with beech and oak trees, alongside attractive stone walling. The grounds are further enriched by a number of ponds and natural planting, forming a haven for wildlife and an ever-changing display of seasonal colour and flora.

SELLERS INSIGHT What first drew us to the property, and what we have enjoyed so much over the last three years, is the wonderful sense of space, tranquillity and closeness to nature. With no near neighbours and an abundance of wildlife all around, it has been a true haven of peace and quiet. The shepherd’s hut and hot tub have added another lovely dimension to life here, giving us the chance to host friends and enjoy some very special get-togethers. We understand the previous owners also used the hut as a source of additional income, which may appeal to future owners. For anyone with green fingers, the polytunnel has been incredibly useful, complemented by a number of raised beds. It has also worked brilliantly as a log store, seasoning wood in as little as three months. One of the more unusual benefits for us has been the amount of garaging and parking. As car enthusiasts, we have loved being able to keep up to five cars under cover within the two large garages, with further space available on the driveways and hardstanding. We are only moving because we are ready to downsize. With around three acres here, it offers more land than we now need, but for the right buyer it provides a wonderful lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful and private setting. STEP INSIDE Positioned to make the very most of its commanding views across the Somerset countryside, Sanford House enjoys a beautiful south-facing aspect and offers spacious, adaptable accommodation with excellent flexibility. The principal sitting room has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the outlook, with no expense spared, including pocket doors that slide seamlessly into the wall to frame the views and create a wonderful connection to the outside. In cooler weather, a wood burner brings warmth and atmosphere, ensuring the room feels cosy whatever the season. A separate study provides a quiet space to work or retreat, while the generous dining/family room is equally versatile, enjoying lovely views, direct access to the gardens and the comfort of a further wood burner. The kitchen is beautifully appointed and well equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including double ovens and an induction hob, while the central island is perfectly placed to enjoy the outlook over the garden. Practicality has also been carefully considered, with a large utility room offering direct access outside and ample space for muddy boots, wet dogs or children after time spent outdoors. Even the boiler cupboard has been designed with useful drying space in mind. Upstairs, you are spoilt for choice with two bedrooms worthy of being the principal suite. At one end of the house, a superb bedroom enjoys a picture window that perfectly captures the views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, and is complemented by an air conditioning unit, ideal for warmer weather. Currently arranged as a gym, it is a wonderfully uplifting space that could easily inspire a workout with such an outlook. Adjoining is a luxuriously appointed shower room with a generous double enclosure. The second contender for the main bedroom is tucked further away, making it equally well suited as a private guest suite, and is also positioned to take full advantage of the stunning rural views. Its en suite bathroom is beautifully fitted, featuring a freestanding Lusso stone bath and separate shower enclosure. In addition, there are three further bedrooms and a well-appointed family shower room. STEP OUTSIDE Sanford House enjoys a beautifully peaceful and private setting, with uninterrupted views and a wonderful sense of seclusion. Offering much more than just a home, the property presents an exceptional lifestyle opportunity. An adjoining 2-acre paddock with its own vehicular access provides excellent versatility and is currently home to goats and chickens, although it could easily be adapted for equestrian use if desired. The property benefits from driveways on both sides of the house. To the left is a detached double garage with enclosed parking, while to the right there is a larger-than-average double garage, additional parking, and an adjoining timber studio with power connected. The beautiful sweeping level gardens adjoin open farmland and have been designed to make the very most of the glorious views. Interspersed with a variety of shrubs and mature trees, they create a wonderful backdrop for outdoor living and enjoyment. Tucked away in the far right-hand corner of the garden is a delightful shepherd’s hut with an adjacent wood-fired hot tub. This provides an idyllic retreat and has previously been used successfully as an Airbnb, with the right-hand vehicular access allowing for private guest parking. Alternatively, it is, of course, the perfect place for personal relaxation and enjoyment. Utilities and Services: Mains electricity, oil fired central heating (underfloor and radiators). Mains water.
