This large house (approximately 3,000 sq ft) was once a village brewery and, in common with many former industrial buildings, features impressive open-plan spaces and some wonderful original detailing. Located in the centre of Fontmell Magna, it is a rare example of a converted industrial building in a picturesque West Country village.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with the majority of the top floor forming a spectacular triple aspect bedroom with en suite bathroom. The ground floor is largely given over to an open-plan kitchen / dining / living space. The house has five bedrooms in total plus a study / playroom and (in the garden) a recently built, well-insulated glass and timber summerhouse / office. There is a good-sized garden at the rear of the property as well as decked courtyard area, under which a small brook runs.

The current owners have refurbished the Grade II listed property, retaining the original character of the industrial space. Plans by the highly regarded architects Zombory-Moldovan Moore (recently approved by the planning office) have been drawn up to enable further improvements should the new owners wish to carry them out. These are available for inspection by contacting The Modern House.
