5 The Location James Barton occupies an idyllic setting on the edge of the village and enjoys lovely outlooks, particularly from the rear garden, over surrounding undulating landscape. With its good village community, Stogumber has an ancient church, village inn, post office store, primary school and playing fields with a cricket pitch and pavilion. The village itself is conveniently situated within the Brendon Hills and is found just off the main A358. The small town of Williton is nearby and a little further away is the Victorian seaside resort of Minehead. Taunton, the County Town of Somerset, is found to the south east with its shopping centre and range of good state and independent schools, namely Taunton School, King s and Queen s Colleges and the Richard Huish Sixth Form College. Communications The M5 motorway can be joined at either Taunton (Junction 25) or Bridgwater (Junctions 23 & 24), providing fast and easy access to Exeter, Bristol and The Midlands. Both Bristol and Exeter airports are both within easy reach providing flights to the continent and The USA and for those wishing to travel to the continent via ferry, there are ferry ports at Plymouth, Weymouth and Southampton. Williton 3 miles Minehead 11.5 miles Taunton 13.5 miles Exeter 39 miles Bristol 53 miles (distances/times approximate) The Property James Barton is a fine example of a sixteenth century cross passage farmhouse and is worthy of its Grade II listing. Welldecorated rooms have endless character and charm, and include a cross passage hall, which has an old tiled floor and beams and leads into a lovely drawing room with beams, upright and an inglenook fireplace. There is another inglenook fireplace in the dining room, and this room has studded wall panels, an oak parquet floor and leads through into the kitchen / living room. The kitchen is well-fitted, in keeping with the style of the house, has a four oven Aga and provides a fantastic family room, having dining and sitting areas. There is also a useful study on the ground floor. The bedrooms are all of a good size and the principal bedroom is particularly spacious and has an en suite bathroom.

6 Gardens and Grounds The drive into James Barton has a traditional five bar gate and leads around the house to Ample Gravelled Parking. A large expanse of lawn stretches out to the east and is surrounded by a number of mature trees and adjoins the excellent range of outbuildings, which include a Timber Stable Building, providing Loose Boxes, at present used as one large area, and a further Tack Room to the side. There is a Single Garage and a highly useful Garden Room / Studio with En Suite Shower Room, foldaway double bed and a Kitchen Area. A delightful garden lies immediately to the rear of the house on a slightly higher level and is surrounded by well-stocked herbaceous borders with a path leading around to a Kitchen Garden with Wendy House, a Greenhouse, soft fruits and vegetable beds. A path passes an old pump house, containing the filtration system and pool boiler, which then leads down to a lower lawned garden area, which enjoys glorious views over surrounding countryside and a Roman style Heated Swimming Pool (now in need of certain maintenance). There is also an Orchard Area and a Small Coppice and a Pond. In all the gardens and grounds amount to about hectares (1.101 acres).
