Roobies Farm is a property where history, stunning West Country scenery and a healthy array of outbuildings meet to form a glorious set-up.
History fills the rooms of Roobies Farm, a Grade II-listed farmhouse set in six acres of gardens, pond and paddocks in Fiddington, near Bridgwater.
Nearly every corner harbours an interesting detail, whether it’s the large inglenook fireplace in the drawing room, the exposed beams in some of the six bedrooms, or the chamfered cross-beam ceiling and listed 18th-century landscape artwork painted on a wooden panel above the fireplace in the formal dining room (currently used as a study).
Even the party barn is listed, its vast, vaulted interior the perfect place for entertaining.
The grounds also house two one-bedroom, self-contained annexes, a barn with planning permission to convert into a three-bedroom home, plus stables and another outbuilding.
Roobies Farm is currently on the market via Knight Frank at a guide price of £1.7 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
