Description
Since being purchased by the current owners in 2007, the property has been extended and sympathetically modernised to include re-wiring and plumbing, plus new flooring, kitchen and bathrooms. The property offers a thoughtful balance of modern living whilst retaining its period character, with exposed stone walls, exposed roof trusses and an inglenook fireplace. Desirably located in a peaceful position, the property benefits from far-reaching rural views to both the front and rear.
A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance porch, which has a window to the side and an inner door through to the reception hall. This light, spacious and inviting space incorporates an attractive oak staircase and floor, a wood-burning stove in one corner and access to a downstairs WC.
To the left of the hall is a dual-aspect living room, which could be utilised as a home office, playroom or ground floor bedroom if desired. To the other side of the reception hall, there is access into a lobby which has a built-in storage cupboard and a door through to a good size utility room. This useful room is fitted with a range of modern floor and wall units and includes plumbing for a washing machine, an additional sink unit and a set of double glazed patio doors opening out to the rear garden.
The lobby then continues into a preparation kitchen area, which offers a further series of matching floor units, a Belfast sink with stainless steel mixer taps and a superb, bespoke pantry cupboard. This section of the house then opens into the most impressive kitchen/dining room.
Redesigned and extended in 2023 the kitchen is the hub of the home and includes a beautiful dining area with an atrium roof, ideal for families and for entertaining. Tastefully fitted with a range of floor and wall units in a contemporary style, the kitchen includes an integrated eye-level double oven, an induction hob with an extractor over, a dishwasher and an undermount sink with a boiling water tap. In addition, there is a matching island unit, also with a granite work surface, which provides further storage and a breakfast bar.
The extended dining area is a fabulous space with a pleasant outlook across the gardens, the adjoining paddock and the idyllic view beyond towards the Mendip Hills. Enjoying lots of natural light from the large double glazed windows on three sides, the dining area also includes a second set of external patio doors to the garden.
The main reception room is located at the front of the property and is well-proportioned, with alcove cupboards and a charming stone inglenook fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove. A door then leads through to an adjoining study, also with built-in storage, which is large enough to be presented as an additional reception room, if required.
On the first floor, a central landing gives access to all rooms. The property has five bedrooms, three of which have fitted storage. The master bedroom is situated on the western side of the house and is dual-aspect, making the most of the magnificent first floor views. From the master bedroom there is a smartly presented en-suite shower room, fitted with a corner shower cubicle, a large vanity wash hand basin and a low-level WC.
Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, which comprises a bath, a separate shower cubicle, a vanity wash hand basin, a low-level WC and a heated towel rail.
OUTSIDE
A set of double gates at the front of the property open to a driveway which provides ample off-road parking. There are formal gardens to the rear and to each side of the property, laid mainly to lawn with established borders, trees (inc. ash and walnut) and shrubs. Directly behind the house is an attractive patio seating area, which wraps around the dining room extension and adjoins the main lawn with a pretty ornamental pond; this section of the garden is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor dining.
In addition, the property includes a designated area of vegetable plots with a timber shed and access to a mature, mixed orchard on the far western side of the plot. The orchard includes apple, cherry, plum and pear trees. Behind the property is the paddock, which measures approx. 2.20 acres and is fully enclosed by hedgerows and has gated access from the orchard.
THE OUTBUILDING
Within the grounds of the property is a superb detached two-storey outbuilding, providing extensive storage and offering considerable scope for a variety of uses (subject to the relevant consents). The outbuilding previously had planning permission to convert as a whole into a two to three bedroom dwelling, which lapsed in 2022.
On the ground floor there are currently three large barns, with a set of double doors to one side and a single stable door into the largest of the three spaces. A central door then opens to a staircase which leads up to the first floor. On this level there are three individual rooms, including one spacious dual-aspect room with sink units, plus a separate shower room.
