Compton Bishop
: Tiny village (fine church) in a horseshoe bowl of farmland nestling into the southern slopes of the Mendips - that grand range of limestone hills, splendid for walking, with views across the spectacular flatness of the Somerset Levels. Axbridge (ancient and still attractive small town (shops) from which mediaeval kings went hunting), 2 miles; Cheddar gorge and caves, about 4; sea/sandy beaches at Weston-super-Mare, 8, or Burnham (good golf), 9. Riding locally; Blagdon Lake trout fishing, 6-7 miles. Bristol, 18 miles. Nearest pub, 1 miles. ... also in Compton Bishop, a former granary, recently converted with flair and good taste to a modern and comfortable home.

Large and attractive kitchen/dining room with good quality fitted kitchen (fridge-freezer, microwave, dishwasher) and French windows to courtyard (al fresco breakfasts).
