High Path, Wellington, Somerset

An extremely impressive five bedroom detached house, which is beautifully presented throughout. The house was built in 1904 and has been loved and cared for by the family since 2019.

It occupies a spacious plot, in a prime spot within walking distance of the town centre. You enter through the stain glassed front door into the useful porch, with doors opening to its spectacular entrance hall complete with original Edwardian mosaic tiles and stained-glass feature window. There is a cellar which can be accessed via a door under the stairs which is currently used as the vendors music room.

There are two reception rooms, with the living room situated to the front, featuring large windows overlooking the front garden, flooding the room with natural light. The living room enjoys a multi fuel burning stove set into a slate fireplace and a set of double doors provides access into the adjoining reception room. The dining room is a generous size room and benefits from French doors opening out to the rear garden and features a wood burning stove.

Libby loves- “I love the original features and characterful charm this property has! The moment I approached the front door, I fell in love! It’s a perfect property for a family looking for lots of space. An absolute must see home and a truly unique and rare opportunity!”

The kitchen/breakfast room is situated to the rear of the property and is fitted with a range of farmhouse style wall and base units with wooden work surfaces over.

A further flight of stairs leads to the second floor which accommodates bedroom four and bedroom five which are both generously proportioned, rooms which could be used for a multitude of uses.

The vendors love- “For us, this has been the perfect home for hosting friends and just being a family. The house has so much character and charm and yet it is completely practical in terms of day to day living. We will miss the long summer evenings in the garden and cosy winters by the log burner. Amazing country walks are on the doorstep, only a stone throw away from being surrounded by peace and nature.”

Outside, High Path is situated in an elevated position above Station Road sat within a generous plot with attractive lawned gardens to the front and stylish checkered path leading to the front door. A side gate leads to the excellent sized rear garden which is mostly laid to lawn with a shrub border to one side and a large patio, implemented with your very own built in bread/pizza oven, ideal for entertaining in those summer months. The current vendors have installed a useful Mokki office which is fully insulated and powered with hardwire internet. The property can be accessed via a private lane with a large, gravelled area providing off-road parking for 3-4 cars. There is a rear gate at the end of the garden and good size storage shed.
