A unique opportunity for Orchard living. Set in a picturesque village with great hunting and eating nearby, would suit young couple or new family.  Viewing highly recommended!

As part of Somerset's Community Barn Owl Project we've been selected to house a brand new owl box in our orchard next to the cider works.

The project set-up by the Somerset's Wildlife trust and the Owl and Hawk trust aims to give breeding Barn owls a much needed boost, with new boxes being introduced into each of Somerset's 335 parishes.  The project is extremely important as Barn owls have seen a 70% decline in numbers over the last 50 yrs due to loss of habitats, and we're dead keen to do our bit by introducing Barn Owls back into our orchards.  The orchard itself provides a great natural habitat for Barn Owls and along with some extra measures including allowing more natural borders eg. longer grass provides perfect hunting grounds. 

Our owl box has been placed in the hedge row over looking the top end of the orchard and should provide an excellent new home for a family of owls. Find out more about the project at www.somersetwildlife.org/barnowl
