We are thrilled to offer this stunning Somerset Longhouse to the market. Situated in the sought after village of East Chinnock, we proceed down the imposing driveway and are met by the ornamental gardens and stunning façade of the Grade II Listed Fordhay House. One of the many joys of a prop...
Property Oracle says ..
Fordhay House is a Grade II listed Somerset Longhouse dating back to the 17th century. The property boasts 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across a substantial 3,179.85 square feet of living space. The photos reveal a property that has been lovingly maintained and updated, showcasing a blend of period features and modern conveniences. Original features such as exposed beams and stonework are evident throughout, adding character and charm. The kitchen and bathrooms appear to be recently renovated, and the overall condition of the property is excellent. The property also includes extensive gardens, adding to its appeal. The location in East Chinnock, South Somerset, is desirable. While the immediate plot size is not specified, the property sits within a larger area of gardens, which provides a degree of privacy and space. The village itself is quiet, yet conveniently located near Crewkerne train station (7.95 KM), providing access to other towns and cities. Several well-regarded primary schools are within a reasonable distance (all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), making this an attractive option for families. Considering the property’s size, condition, features, and desirable location, the list price of £800,000 appears to be in line with, or potentially slightly above, the average price for similar properties in the area. While the average price per square foot in the area is £302, this property’s unique features, such as its Grade II listing and extensive gardens, could justify a premium. However, a detailed comparative market analysis of recently sold comparable properties would be necessary to determine the precise market value.
Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
