Looking for a home that ticks all the boxes for countryside charm, modern comfort, and jaw-dropping views? Castle Furlong Farm might just be the one. Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Heath House, near Wedmore, this five-bedroom family home offers space, style, and some seriously enviable scenery. With a guide price of £1,250,000, this is rural Somerset living at its finest – with a few modern perks thrown in for good measure.
The first thing you'll notice as you approach is the grand oak pergola porch – it's the kind of entrance that makes you feel like a minor lord of the manor.
Step inside, and the wow factor continues with an entrance hall that's a perfect mix of modern design and rustic charm, complete with an exposed stone wall and a dramatic spiral staircase that's almost begging for a festive garland.
The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. There's an oil-fired Aga for that cosy farmhouse vibe, plus an electric companion to keep things cool in summer (or for when you've forgotten how hot the Aga gets).
With room for a large dining table and a sofa, this is the kind of kitchen where the family will inevitably gather – whether they're invited or not. And let's talk about that breakfast bar: perfectly positioned for your morning coffee as you gaze out through the sliding glass doors at your 1.3-acre garden. Whether you're a budding Mary Berry or more of a beans-on-toast enthusiast, this space has you covered.
The five bedrooms here aren't just places to sleep – they're destinations in themselves. The principal suite boasts a dressing room, an en-suite, and French doors leading to a balcony that's practically made for morning coffees and smug Instagram posts.
Glastonbury Tor is just one of the sights to enjoy from your elevated perch. The remaining four bedrooms are generously sized, all with south-facing windows that bathe them in light and offer equally lovely views. Even the single room has its charms, tucked into the eaves with a secret door to storage – perfect for stashing Christmas presents or hiding from chores.
Outside, the property really comes into its own. With 1.3 acres of gardens, there's space for everything from a game of football to a quiet read under a tree. The orchard offers a seasonal supply of apples (cider-making, anyone?), and the pond teems with wildlife. Fancy a pool or tennis court? There's room for that too. And if gardening isn't your thing, the two sheds (one with lighting and plenty of space) will house all the tools you'll need for someone else to do it for you.
Castle Furlong Farm is a property that's got it all: space, style, and an enviable location. It's the kind of home where you can imagine yourself hosting summer barbecues, sipping wine on the terrace, or just enjoying a quiet moment watching the sunset over the Somerset Levels.
