Cocklake, Wedmore, BS28

Stunning transformation from 1960s bungalow to fabulous sleek and spacious, open-plan four-bedroom home, achieving a beautiful contemporary living space with oak, glass, and porcelain, and decorated in a modern colour palette, situated in the sleepy hamlet of Cocklake. 

Standing in the open-plan hub of this lovely home, between the kitchen, dining room and living areas, with views out to the landscaped gardens on all sides, there is little hint of the bungalow it once was. The property has been completely redesigned: it has a new roof; all new windows, doors, and flooring; underfloor heating throughout; installation of an air source heat pump; new domestic plumbing; new electrics; and new fixtures and fittings throughout. There is no compromise on space. The elegant, vaulted entrance hall, with windows to the roof apex, and stairs sweeping up to a galleried landing, is light and welcoming. The hall opens into the versatile living space, currently with two relaxing seating areas and a dining space, arranged around the kitchen with its fabulous island. The kitchen is fitted with base and eye level units with high-end integrated appliances and an induction hob situated on the island. There is space for a washing machine and tumble dryer in the handy utility which is next to the kitchen and provides access to the garden. Two of the bedrooms are downstairs: one with ensuite, built-in wardrobes, and French doors to the garden; the other is currently used as an office and is next to the cloakroom. There are two further double bedrooms upstairs, each with ensuite facilities and one with built-in wardrobe and drawers. The vaulted, galleried landing looks across the hall and has views over Cocklake and the countryside beyond.
