If you've been trawling through property sites wondering if anything genuinely special ever comes up, you're in luck – but only if you know where to look.

Because Poundfold House in Croscombe isn't on Rightmove. Or Zoopla.

Or any of the usual haunts. It's being discreetly sold off-market through our sponsors, Sandersons UK, and it's the kind of property that rarely stays secret for long.

With five bedrooms, four reception rooms, and sweeping countryside views, this one ticks a lot of boxes.

Add in the peaceful setting, off-street parking for four vehicles, and a freshly renovated interior, and it becomes clear why Sandersons UK – are quietly showing it to the right buyers.

Set in an elevated spot in the centre of Croscombe, Poundfold House is light-filled and deceptively spacious, with a calm, neutral decor that lets the setting do the talking. The newly fitted kitchen is warm and contemporary, opening directly onto a dining area with bi-folding doors leading to the garden terrace. There's a utility area, a cloakroom, and a separate reception room perfect for a snug or home office.

One of the standout features is the huge store room, currently used for storage but brimming with potential. It could easily become a playroom, workshop, home gym or even a garage – the flexibility is part of what makes this house so appealing.

On the opposite side of the house, a spacious sitting room with a bath stone fireplace leads into a surprise sunroom – ideal for reading, relaxing, or just admiring the view. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms (four of them doubles), including a principal suite with its own dressing room and en-suite, as well as countryside views to both the north and south.

The outside space has been cleverly designed to make the most of the home's elevated position.

A raised terrace leads down to a level lawn, shaded lower patio, and an extra tucked-away seating area that's perfect for soaking up the last rays of sun.

Croscombe itself offers a slice of village life with real character. There's an award-winning pub that doubles as the local shop, a school, active village hall, and regular events from drama to Tai Chi. Wells is just three miles down the road, with good access to Bristol Airport and a direct rail link to London Paddington from nearby Castle Cary.
