Locketts Farm
Designed by renowned architect Stuart Martin the house was completed in 2016, constructed to the highest quality with local Bath Stone and English Oak used throughout. The house is approached through the courtyard garden to a panelled entrance hall with a cloakroom. At the heart of the house is a large T-shaped kitchen with a triple aspect providing for stunning views across the farm and French doors out onto both east and west terraces. The kitchen, fitted with oak units wraps around large island with two seating areas with open fireplaces and dining area. There is a separate dining room with butler’s pantry and a large drawing room, dual aspect with south facing bay window and French doors to the west with an open fireplace. With a separate access from the courtyard there is a large utility / boot room with separate laundry and plant room.

A double-width stone staircase with clerestory windows leads to the first floor. The principal bedroom benefits from a truly unique ensuite bathroom and mezzanine. There are three further bedrooms all ensuite and the two eaves bedrooms on the second floor with seating area and family bathroom with laundry.

The Courtyard
The courtyard of buildings sits to the northwest of the house where the entrance arch leads into the yard and parking area.
The large Threshing Barn has been partially converted to provide for a large Office with kitchenette and storerooms.

The Cottage is lovely three-bedroom cottage with access from the north side so as to give privacy away from the courtyard.
It has a large sitting room, a modern kitchen with utility room, a shower room, family bathroom and private garden area. The cottage was converted at the same time as the house with consent for ancillary accommodation. The Flat was created as part of this accommodation on the ground floor. It has a separate access into a hall with cloakroom, an open plan kitchen/sitting room and a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom. There is separate space for parking on the north side of the properties.

Equestrian Facilities
The northeast side of the courtyard forms an L-shape of ten stables with a large tack room, feed stores and wash down area.
There are four pens in the Dutch barn and further stables in the modern farm buildings. These are two large portal steel frame timber clad buildings with concrete floors, used for machinery and fodder storage.

There is a horse walker, outdoor Menage (rubber/sand surface) and there two gallops set in a off lying field, with a 3 ½ furlong sand round and a 5 ½ furlong woodchip gallop. These are accessed across the fields or from a hardcore track leading from the road.
