Outside

Pensford is approached through a private double gated entrance into a gravelled Car Parking/
Turning Area situated adjacent to the house. The double doors from the dining and sitting
rooms open onto a delightful paved Patio with a small raised ornamental fish pond and steps
leading up to separate parts of the main gardens.

The house is set in superb mature gardens incorporating extensive lawned areas edged and
interspersed with a wide variety of deciduous and conifer species, together with many flowering
shrubs and ornamental trees. Included within the main garden is a Swimming Pool, approx. 28'
x 15' (approx. 8.53m x 4.57m), set in raised timber decking with a timber and felt roofed Pool
House containing the pool heating and filtration equipment. From the car parking area a track
continues past a further lawned garden containing a Greenhouse, Poly Tunnel and static
caravan used for storage purposes. To the lower side of the outbuildings is a further grassed
area enjoying frontage to the pretty Hollocombe Water stream.

The Outbuildings

A separate gated entrance from the road provides access to an extensive range of outbuildings
comprising a substantial barn of part stone, block and timber construction with a corrugated roof
and cladding, currently used as a Workshop/Store Shed, approx. 45' x 23'6" (13.7m x 7.2m),
with steps up to a mezzanine level. Adjoining to the rear of this building is a lean-to Car Port,
approx. 47' x 9'6" (14.3m x 2.9m), with a separate gated access from the road. Also adjoining
the barn is an open fronted Tractor Shed, 23' x 12'6" (7m x 3.8m), a Garage/Log Store, 23' x
14'6" (7m x 4.4m), and a further open fronted Three Bay Range, 46'6" x 21' (14.2m x 6.4m),
currently used for vehicle and general storage purposes. The track serving the farm buildings
continues to link back to the main car parking area.

The Land

The gardens are fringed by beautiful unspoilt woodland consisting mainly deciduous species
such as oak, ash, beech, hazel and holly, with a variety of wild spring flowers on the woodland
floor, including snowdrops, primroses, daffodils and bluebells. The woodland affords tremendous
wildlife, conservation and amenity appeal, exhibiting an abundance of flora and fauna, including
deer, badger, fox, birds and insect species, with tracks and pathways providing charming walks.
Two natural streams run down through the woodland, one feeding into two ponds situated on the
edge of the gardens.

The main track through the woods leads up into a sheltered gently sloping traditional pasture
meadow surrounded on three sides by woodland. At the top of this field is a private and
