A fine Grade II listed period detached family home with separate two bedroom annexe, swimming pool and beautiful enclosed gardens approaching 3/4 of an acre.
Kings Hayes is a magnificent family home dating back to the early 1700s, situated in the heart of the revered village of Batcombe and just three miles from the popular town of Bruton. The property is Grade II listed and boasts Georgian origins and Victorian additions. It offers flexible accommodation, including seven bedrooms, a two-bedroomed annexe and a swimming pool, all set within an idyllic countryside setting.
The entrance to the property is surrounded by borders of shrubs and roses and features a stone-carved portico. Inside, there is an impressive entrance hall with original flagstone flooring. The sitting room and drawing room both have high ceilings, picture sash windows and open fires, and overlook the pretty surrounding gardens. The dining room is perfect for grand entertaining, with a magnificent original stone mantelpiece as its focal point. The country-style kitchen, which continues with flagstone flooring throughout, is connected to a boot room, pantry and utility room. A spacious cellar is accessed from the kitchen suitable for wine storage. A garden room with French doors provides further space to dine or relax and enjoy the morning sun.
Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room, all enjoying the surrounding leafy views. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and en suite. One of the four bedrooms, with an adjacent bathroom, has a second staircase, creating the opportunity for separate accommodation. Stairs ascending to the second floor reveal three further bedrooms, one en suite. All rooms have original exposed beams - a perfect children's hideaway!
The annexe, a former coach house, provides potential secondary income or accommodation for family, friends or staff. This beautiful conversion is flooded with natural light, owing to the many glazed aspects and features exposed beams overhead. A large games room leads on into a spacious sitting room with access to the courtyard beyond. A fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom are also located on the ground level.
Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms, one with an en suite, provide excellent and spacious accommodation. There is also a double garage with a workshop and store within the coach house. The property has a walled garden of 0.71 acres and an outdoor heated swimming pool. It is located in a central village setting with open views to the front and is within walking distance of the village pub.
