Situated within the picturesque village of Trudoxhill, Foghamshire Hall is on the lane that leads towards Marston Park and is approximately 3 miles from the popular market town of Frome which has comprehensive range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes and bistros. Trudoxhill has a good pub and the Palette & Pasture ice cream parlour. Nearby Nunney (1 miles) has a primary school, shop, pub/restaurant, tea room, village hall and the beautiful Nunney Castle. The Georgian city of Bath lies a little over 15 miles and there are good communication links to London via railway stations at Frome and Westbury and the A303/M3 road links.
Description: Dating from Tudor times, with Georgian and Victorian additions, this is a building of immense history that offers a unique opportunity to recreate an idyllic village home.
The property now benefits from full planning permission and listed building consent (Ref: 2021/2543) to return it to its former use as a dwelling, having been used as a meeting hall, chapel and school during its 500 year history.
On the ground floor, the open plan design, boasting double height ceilings and dual aspect windows, will contain a kitchen, dining and living space, complete with wood burning stove. French doors will lead to the south-facing, private terrace, surrounded by a traditional stone boundary.
The former Georgian parlour, with its large picture window and fire place, creates the option for a cosy snug or bedroom 3. Stairs lead off the entrance to a gallery which will retain two of the oldest pews but with generous space for a desk or sofas; The perfect work-from-home space with views along the country lane.
The Victorian school room will benefit from a bathroom and ground floor bedroom, which will feature French doors to the garden. Stairs will lead to a mezzanine bedroom with south facing heritage roof lights.
While the majority of pews will be removed to give way for the open plan living area, the entrance will retain a few pews for use as boot room storage.
A mix of flag stone and wooden floors are featured throughout, including within what will become the utility room/cloakroom.
The natural stone Baroque facade is little changed, and the external space offers plenty of opportunity to become a south facing garden which will sit next to the enclosed churchyard.
Rarely does such a property or opportunity come to the market. With a deep and rich history, the original Tudor house was built on the instruction of Sir William Paulet, Treasurer and Lord Chamberlain to Henry V111.
