No. 4 is one of three homes that form part of this Jacobean property 'Hollycroft' dating back to the mid-17th century, it oozes character with its attractive stone mullion windows, exposed wooden beams and old doors.
From the entrance hall is the dual aspect living room featuring a large inglenook fireplace with woodburner and wood. The kitchen/dining room with vaulted ceiling, provides great open plan modern family living space featuring a bespoke fitted kitchen with a range of units, a black oil fired aga, separate electric hob and French doors leading out to the garden. The utility room is perfectly placed adjoining the kitchen, and also on this floor is a cloakroom.
A wide staircase leads up to the first floor which comprises large double aspect bedroom with en suite bathroom and an attractive fireplace; and a single bedroom which is currently used as a study.
On the second floor there is a generous landing with storage, which could also be used as a study area. From here is a further double bedroom with en suite shower room.
The property is approached onto a shared driveway, leading to a private gravel driveway where there is parking for 2/3 cars.
There are beautiful mature gardens leading out from the French doors of the kitchen, mainly laid to lawn with shrub borders, seasonal flowering plants, hedging and trees.
The beautiful and private garden ascends to a well tended vegetable patch, with access to the first storey of the stone outbuilding. Above that is a meadow (pictured left) with a view across to the Walled Garden and St Andrew's Church, a stunning hidden spot for relaxation in the heart of Mells. On one tree is a plaque dedicated to the poet Siegfried Sassoon, laid to rest in St Andrew's churchyard.
There is a delightful courtyard garden at the rear of the property, with a two storey stone outbuilding which has electricity and access to water.
In all approximately 0.67 of an acre.

The property is in a fantastic central position within the village, with the award-winning Mells café, shop and Post Office across the road. It is a short walk to The Talbot Inn, the Walled Garden (including gallery and café), and the Grade 1 listed St Andrew's Church.
Historic market town Frome is renowned for its atmospheric streets, quirky independent shops, cafés, galleries and performing arts scene. Regularly featured in “Best Place To...” lists, Frome is now famous for its independent town council, its innovative health care approaches, the monthly Independent Market, vibrant community action, and the surprise performances of international stars at the Cheese & Grain venue. Frome won the National Great Town Award in 2016, having been named as Britain's sixth coolest town by The Times in 2014.
Babington House, the private members' club, with its swimming pools, tennis courts, gym, bars and restaurant is only a short drive away; the Hauser & Wirth Gallery in Bruton and The Newt hotel, spa and gardens are also both within easy reach.
Castle Cary, Frome and Westbury stations provide high speed rail links to London; and the property is well placed for commuting to Bath and Bristol and access to motorways.
There is a junior school in the village, whilst Downside, All Hallows and Wells Cathedral School are all within easy reach, in addition to an excellent selection of schools in Bath.
