ESOTERA FODDINGTON, BABACARY, TA11 7EL
About the Area
Foddington is an attractive hamlet of several properties and is close to Babcary which is one of Somerset's charming and historic villages, and is set in beautiful walking and riding countryside between Somerton and Castle Cary. Babcary is recorded in the Domesday Book as an attractive small village made up for the most part of period houses and cottages on the edge of the Sparkford Vale. The attractive medieval church is close by where, interestingly, one of the earliest games of 'fives' was recorded. Elsewhere in the village is the ever popular 17c Red Lion, an excellent pub and restaurant with an excellent local reputation, and the well used Village Hall, playing fields and tennis court.
*
Glastonbury, Wells, Castle Cary and Sherborne are all within a short drive as are Castle Cary and Yeovil Rail Stations with main lines to London.

Accommodation
Approached from a quiet yet not isolated country lane - Esotera is a comfortable, spacious much loved family home with the benefit of an attached self contained annexe with further potential. A particular feature of this well maintained property is the creative garden, paddock and grounds which are surrounded by open countryside and enjoy spectacular views.Esotera has many characterful features, such as a large stone fireplace with flagstone hearth and Oak mantle, Villager wood burning stove and ceiling beams in the sitting room, which is dual aspect and enjoys an outlook over the pretty courtyard and lake.
**
A further reception room has an original period cast iron fireplace and fitted alcove shelving, this leads through to the spacious beamed kitchen/diner, which is triple aspect and takes full advantage of the garden outlook. Here there is generous range of bespoke American Ash and painted wall and base units with integral appliances, including ovens, microwave and induction hob. There is plenty of space for a family dining table and further space for sofas if desired.Off the kitchen is the light and bright wooden conservatory, with stained wooden floor and painted paneling. Double doors lead to one of the many private lawned areas.Also on the ground floor is a very spacious utility room and cloakroom with integral access to the garage and separate door to outside.
