Little Belcombe occupies a wonderfully private location on the southern extremity of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a peaceful outlook over its own gardens and grounds and enjoying seclusion without isolation. The surrounding landscape is rich in wildlife and heritage with many small farms, winding country lanes and diverse woodland. The property lies within 2 miles of the popular village of Combe St Nicholas with a range of local amenities and the towns of Chard and Ilminster are both about 6 miles distant catering for most daily needs. Taunton is some 10 miles to the North with an intercity rail link (London Paddington) and access to the M5 motorway and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 18 miles to the South at Lyme Regis.

The property is approached from a small country lane over a short section of unmade road that leads to Little Belcombe and one other property only. The beautifully maintained gardens and grounds have been established over many years and now boast a magnificent collection of flowering shrubs including colourful azaleas and rhododendrons, many specimen trees, sweeping lawns, a small copse underplanted with bluebells and hellebores and two fine ponds. These are spring fed bordered by yellow irises and bullrushes creating a perfect haven for wild fowl and other garden birds. To the rear of the property is a productive kitchen garden with vegetable beds, a fruit cage and apple and damson trees. There is a further area of secret garden on the opposite side of the lane planted with flowering shrubs and bounded by the stream. An excellent triple garage block provides plenty of parking and workshop space and the whole area is estimated to extend to just less than 2 Acres.
