West End, Wedmore

Built in 2009, Cleave is one of a pair of houses to be built on West End and although a premium modern build, the blue lias stone and traditional stone casements that surround the beautiful hard wood sash windows, have enabled the house to blend seamlessly into the village landscape. Approaching the property, we enter via a smart block paved driveway that is shouldered by a lawn, mature shrubs and trees and stone walling. The integral porch leads into the welcoming entrance hall. Directly ahead is a superb sized kitchen, open plan to a garden room and adjoining the utility room and features an array of built in cupboard units with integrated appliances and a rangemaster cooker. There is room to add a central kitchen island and the timber framed garden room offers an ideal dining and family space, with two sets of double doors leading directly out to a patio. There is also an external door via the utility room leading to the side of the house.

Internal double doors open into a lovely sitting room, opposite the kitchen and with a modern log burning fireplace and doors to the garden. Another internal door leads into the entrance hall where we access the cloakroom and a further reception room which currently serves as a home study but would work equally well as a playroom or snug. The first of five bedrooms resides on the ground floor and features an ensuite bathroom with walk in shower and makes for a sizeable guest room.

Climbing the staircase from the hallway, we pass by a stunning arched window which floods the galleried landing with light. The primary bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has an ensuite shower room. Across the hall is another large double bedroom with ensuite, and a four-piece family bathroom serves a further two double rooms.

The outside of the property is equally charming, with a south facing rear garden and expansive lawns with patio from the house and mature flower boarders against the stone wall boundary. A pathway leads along to the garage which offers a huge array of uses being detached and with great access, this could work equally well as a home office or workshop. 

Cleave is a home of handsome proportions and offers the perfect blend of old and new.  It would suit both a growing family or retirees alike and offers a spacious and flexible layout.

SITUATION

Wedmore is one of the 'hot spot' villages south of Bristol and it retains its unspoilt period charm with a village centre boasting an atmosphere of bustling activity; in fact the facilities in the village are hard to beat! There are a great selection of shops which draw their customers from all over the area and plenty of places to eat and drink, including pubs, restaurants and cafes, allowing visitors to 'make a day of it'! There are a range of clubs and societies covering all age groups as well as a range of sports and recreational facilities in the area at Cheddar and Wells, plus sailing and windsurfing at Cheddar, equestrian pursuits at Badgworth Arena and golf at the Wedmore Golf Club (18 holes). In addition, within an easy walk of this property are flood-lit astroturf tennis courts, bowling greens (indoor and out) and football and cricket pitches. The village itself dates back around a thousand years to Saxon times, with St Mary's Church in the village centre being over 700 years old.

Bristol, Bath and Taunton are all within around 25 miles, whilst the beautiful cathedral city of Wells is about 8 miles away, with its excellent range of facilities. The M5 motorway (J22) is about 10 minutes, and there is a local train at Highbridge (also within 10 minutes), with links to Bristol Temple Meads and onward to London Paddington. Bristol Airport is also convenient for commuting, and provides a good range of national and international flights including low cost options. Schooling is well regarded, both state and private. Wedmore First School, Hugh Sexeys Middle School and the Kings of Wessex are a huge attraction for parents. Independent schools are at Wells, Millfield, Taunton, Wraxall and Bristol. The Somerset countryside around is well known for its beauty with the Mendip Hills, a haven for walkers and nature enthusiasts.
