The apartment is an 18th century Grade II listed country estate with later
additions and cottages. It was beautifully restored and converted around 2007
by Michael Wilson Restorations, an award - winning developer. It has been
divided into eight individual houses. No. 2 forms part of the original house
and is approached through a pergola. The present owners purchased the property
in 2014 and have since upgraded the interior including the kitchen/breakfast
room at great expense, perfectly blending modern and old.
The peaceful parkland grounds are very well - maintained and combine private and
communal gardens, a paddock with a pavilion, a nature trail, and the old
walled kitchen garden. There are lovely rural views in all directions,
especially across to Crooks Peak on the Mendip Hills.
No. 2 is a very elegant house and retains many original features including
ornate ceiling cornices, panelled internal doors with brass furniture, a
marble fireplace, an arched window with coloured lights in the
kitchen/breakfast room and majestic bay windows, with working shutters in the
drawing room.
The entrance hall has original 18th century floor tiles and has been fitted
with hand - made bespoke cabinetry made by local craftsmen. The substantial
drawing room/dining room is striking, with a high ceiling and an original
marble fireplace fitted with a log burning stove. Through the impressive bay
windows there are lovely parkland views over the garden to the Mendip Hills.
The excellent kitchen/breakfast room was redesigned and refitted in 2016 by
Spillers of Chard and includes integrated appliances by Miele. The lower
ground floor has a snug/TV room which opens into to a boot room. Off the snug
is an excellent cellar with wine storage which leads to a utility room.
The principal bedroom on the first floor has a walk through dressing area.
This is a superb bedroom with a curved high ceiling and outstanding views to
the Mendip Hills. The en - suite shower room has been fully refurbished using
Porcelenosa tiling. Off the first floor landing there are two further double
bedrooms with a lovely south facing view over its parkland and a family
bath/shower room.
Outside
Badgworth Court is entered between stone pillars with electrically operated
timber gates and an entry system. The gate opens to the impressive long drive
passing the home field, with the old cricket pavilion to the east. The field
is interspersed with mature trees creating a lovely park - like setting. The
drive continues to a parking area with two designated spaces for No. 2. There
is a pretty pedestrian walkway with a pergola clad with climbing shrubs, which
leads to an entrance courtyard with a store and the front door.
The main garden lies behind the house and is laid to lawn interspersed with
mature trees. The views are superb. There is a split - level stone paved terrace
ideal for entertaining, with steps that lead down to the boot room and where a
timber garden shed is nicely concealed. An established shrubbery bed lies to
the west, and a path leads to two further parking spaces. Beyond these private
parking spaces is the garage block where the first garage is allocated for No.
2.
Lying to the northwest is a walled kitchen garden for communal use, where No.
2 has an allotment. There are lovely walks around the grounds which include a
nature trail and a bridge over a small stream along the northern perimeter.
In all the property extends to about 11 acres of communal gardens and grounds
When in Notting Hill Road, from the A38 directions travel for about one mile.
Take the first right into Badgworth Lane. The entrance to Badgworth Court is
about 1/3 mile along on the right hand side, having passed Badgworth
Equestrian Arena.
