Approached via electric gates, along a mature tree lined driveway, Parkwood House is a fine country house dating from 1985, and built in the traditional style, of local blue lias stone under a tiled roof. The building faces due south, overlooking its extensive gardens and grounds, with far-reaching views towards the villages of Drayton and Muchelney beyond.

On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with staircase rising to the galleried first floor landing, a large drawing room with fireplace and French doors to the gardens, and a formal dining room beyond. In addition, there is a study, a family room, a kitchen with 4-oven Aga and breakfast/reception room. A further sitting room and ground floor bedroom, with en suite shower room are presently used an an annexe. Domestic offices include a utility room and pantry, a boot room area, wc and shower room.

From the galleried landing on the first floor, there is a generous principal bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom, a guest bedroom suite, two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and airing cupboard.

A south facing terrace runs along the front of the house, overlooking level lawns to mature borders and the paddocks beyond. The gardens have been landscaped and planted to offer colour throughout the year, in this peaceful and private setting.

At the back of the house, there is a selection of useful outbuildings, including a carport, storage barns and a workshop. Beyond the gardens, there is an immaculate stable yard, with extensive stabling and foaling boxes, tack and feed rooms and a separate hay barn and store.

Beyond the stable yard, there is a horse walker, discretely hidden by a mature yew hedge, and a 60m x 40m sand school, also bordered by a mature yew hedge. The land beyond, comprises a selection of post and rail fenced paddocks, running to the south and east of the house and buildings, providing plenty of grazing and space for hay making.
