The Coombe, Compton Martin

St Wulfrics is a fine, stone built semi-detached cottage which could easily be mistaken for one of the older period cottages Compton Martin is known for, however the property was actually built in the late 1980's. This makes it a highly efficient home but with bags of character that blends in with the period feel at Compton Martin beautifully well.

The house is in a prime village position, set back on The Coombe. We approach the property via a large stone arch which opens into a private driveway with access to a vast double garage. Opposite, we enter into a lovely welcoming hallway with storage and access to the downstairs cloakroom/WC. To the right is a stunning sitting room with a multi-fuel burner and stone fire surround and beyond this is a lovely conservatory with direct access to the outside. Across the hall is the dining room with a dual aspect which creates a wonderfully bright and spacious reception room which leads into the delightful kitchen, chosen to fit the cottage style of this home but with a contemporary layout and with plenty of storage and worktop space. An induction hob range cooker takes centre stage with a beautiful butler sink, perfectly positioned under the window, over looking the gardens to the rear. 

Upstairs, the accommodation is spacious and well designed to offer three very good sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom has built in wardrobes and ensuite shower room. Across the hallway, a family bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms with a shower over bath and a useful airing cupboard. Further eves storage is accessed from the landing.

The property is double glazed and oil centrally heated and has been beautifully renovated by the current owners. This care and attention continues outside where the smartly decked patio offers a lovely private spot to relax and dine alfresco. There is side access to the front of the property where the garage offers a great opportunity to convert part into a home office and is big enough to retain part of it as a garage/workshop. Fronted by an electric, up & over door , part of this has already been converted to offer a utility room with separate entrance.

SITUATION

Compton Martin lies in the heart of the beautiful Chew Valley. It is part of a small parish with a population of just over 500; it has all the facilities generally associated with a small village such as a post office, public house, village hall and parish church. A spring rises near the village church and feeds the village duck-pond which in times gone by used to power a paper mill and ultimately flows into the River Yeo. There is a choice of schooling nearby with primary schooling in Ubley, ( and the secondary state schooling provided by Chew Valley Comprehensive ( draws people from far and wide seeking to live within its catchment area. Only seven miles to the north of the Chew Valley is the City of Bristol, the West Country's financial and business centre, whilst the charming City of Bath with its Roman origins and Georgian architectural masterpieces is under half an hour's drive to the East. On the southern side of the Mendip is the historic City of Wells, England's smallest, with its ancient Cathedral. Access to the motorway network is at Clevedon (junction 20), Weston-super-Mare (junction 21) and Burnham-on-Sea (junction 22) and there is an international airport at Lulsgate and mainline railway stations at Bath and Bristol.
