This week's property of the week from our sponsors Roderick Thomas showcases rural living at its best.

The Paddock is a wonderful barn conversion, with absolutely pristine interiors, a beautiful landscaped garden and outbuildings, and a lovely location in the village of Blackford, just a couple of miles from Wedmore and a short drive into Wells.

Most of the accommodation is found on the ground floor. There's a lovely large sitting room, with an attractive inglenook style brick fireplace with inset wood burner, decorative beams and double doors into the conservatory which opens out on to the garden.

An impressive garden room offers a really versatile space. There's a high vaulted ceiling with beams and Velux roof lights, three large windows (with lovely meadow views) and which all combine to flood the room with sunlight. There's plenty of space for a dining table and chairs and also for sofas and chairs next to the second wood burning stove.

The kitchen has been beautifully done, with oodles of cupboard space, built in applicances and a breakfast bar.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor too (both with fitted wardrobes), as well as a bathroom.

On the first floor is another bedroom (also with fitted wardrobes) which opens on to a shower room. Beyond the shower room is another room which could be a fourth bedroom, or a lovely dressing room to make this floor a luxurious self-contained master suite.

The mature gardens surround the house and are quite stunning. They have been landscaped and maintained and create a number of "rooms" ideal for use at different times of the year and for sun or shade. There are quiet secluded sitting areas, a lawn, terraces, flower beds and also mature trees and shrubs including fruit trees, cherry, bay, laurel, acacia, holly, jasmine and climbing hydrangeas.

There is a garage, as well as further outbuildings which include a workshop, wood store, other stores and an excellent chalet which has insulation, power and light and is perfect for use as a home office.

The Paddock is on the market with Roderick Thomas for £795,000.
