Steps Farmhouse is a captivating period home that exudes charm, character, and elegance throughout, with generously proportioned, light-filled rooms that celebrate its 16th century heritage. The dining room, rich in period features including exposed beams, a historic muntin wall, a charming window seat, and a stone fireplace, flows effortlessly into the bay-fronted lounge. Here, beamed ceilings, a feature inglenook fireplace with inset log burner, and original detailing create a warm and inviting focal point, combining historic grandeur with homely comfort.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been exceptionally refurbished to balance traditional character with modern practicality. It showcases solid wood worktops, a Belfast sink, integrated appliances including a Smeg range cooker, and underfloor heating, while a stable door opens onto the rear courtyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Adjacent utility and therapy rooms provide flexible spaces for household management or guest use, enhancing the property’s versatility.

On the first floor, three beautifully presented bedrooms continue the theme of refined comfort. The principal suite benefits from a private ensuite shower room, the second bedroom enjoys an ensuite bathroom, and the third bedroom retains a delightful feature fireplace. A separate shower room and a versatile office area complete the accommodation, offering practical and elegant spaces for modern living.

In addition, the property includes four beautifully individually styled guest letting suites in the attached converted barn. Each suite has been thoughtfully designed to offer a luxurious and comfortable experience, with exposed beams, fitted carpets, and private ensuite facilities. Two of the suites open onto raised decked seating areas, providing tranquil spaces to enjoy the surrounding West Somerset countryside, reflecting the property’s proven success as a high-quality B&B and its potential as an exclusive retreat.

Approached via a gravelled driveway over neighbouring land, the property offers a private car park screened by mature conifers, providing parking for multiple vehicles. The attractive courtyard, complete with mature shrubs and climbing wisteria, offers a delightful area for alfresco dining or relaxed seating and gives access to the main house, kitchen, and letting suites.

To the front, a cobbled walkway leads to the main entrance, bordered by a well-maintained lawn and established planting. The rear garden is generous and beautifully presented, featuring lawns, mature planting, and a summerhouse/bar — an exceptional sheltered space to entertain or relax while enjoying distant countryside views. Additional features include a gravelled area with storage shed/workshop, storage container, and polytunnel, combining practicality with private seclusion.
