Kingsway, Mark, TA9

Situated in this rural idyll with breathtaking views in all directions this warm and welcoming five-bedroom family home offers versatile, open plan living spaces with separate annexe potential, extensive plot, and outbuildings.

Dating back to the 1920s and extended in 1992, the rooms are well-proportioned and decorated in an attractive contemporary palette. Practical limestone flooring runs throughout the main living area, with carpet adding a cosier feel to the sitting room. The main hub of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with French doors which can be flung open to the garden on sunny days, whilst the Klover biomass boiler offers a warm focal point on colder days and provides the heating and hot water. The kitchen is fitted with a range of farmhouse style base and wall units with an electric five-ring range-style cooker. A large open hallway, with front and back entrance doors and stairs to the first floor, also creates space for a more formal dining area. The sitting room, with open fireplace, retains the charming character arched windows of the original building. It is a more intimate space with its fire and bay window. Extra storage can be found in the large cloakroom with WC next to the front door. The ground floor extends from the kitchen, out through the boot room, into a useful bedroom currently functioning as a home office. It has a modern wet room and laundry room.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms. The primary bedroom, with ensuite bathroom with bath and separate shower, echoes the character of the sitting room, with a pair of delightful arched windows looking out across the fields to Brent Knoll. The other bedrooms share a family bathroom fitted with a shower unit and bath.

Outside

The property is situated on a level plot of just under an acre with stunning views in all directions. The house is side on to the road with the driveway coming in across the front of the house and leading to a barn, paddock, the double garage which adjoins the house, and to a detached double garage/workshop. Lawned area to the front of the house provides a tranquil spot for sitting and enjoying views to The Mendips. The rear garden can be accessed from both sides of the house. To the Western side there is a sun-terrace and paving which continues across the rear of the property. The extensive south-facing back garden is mainly laid to lawn, with hedging on two sides, fruit trees and a sunken trampoline.

Solar panels and the installation of the biomass boiler have vastly improved the energy efficiency of this home.
