Detached bungalow in an exclusive setting just outside Wells

The Swallows is a spacious, detached, three bedroom bungalow in the heart of Wookey. It is one of just seven smart bungalows built around a central circular green with mature trees in peaceful Abbey Close, giving it the feel of a private estate.

The property is approached by a driveway with ample parking, there is a large garage at the front which is attached to the bungalow. The front lawn has wonderful flower borders around it and shrubbery which provides privacy.

The entrance porch, which is useful for boots, shoes and coats, opens into a wide and inviting hall off which the other rooms flow. The sitting room has large double-glazed windows offering a lovely view of the front garden and over the green. The focal point is a wood-burning stove for extra cosiness in the winter months.

To the rear of the bungalow is a light spacious kitchen and dining area which has the luxury of French windows opening out onto an east-facing terrace which is perfect for the morning sunshine.

The kitchen area is light and sleek and includes smart integrated appliances. The window over the sink frames the beautiful garden. Just off the kitchen is a large utility room housing another sink, the washing machine, tumble drier and a handy separate cloak room. The utility room has doors to both the front and back of the bungalow allowing access from the drive and the garden which comes in useful for unloading shopping and storing outdoor gear.

Off the hallway is the bathroom and three light and airy bedrooms. The main bedroom is a very generous double with an en-suite shower room and large window looking out over the pretty enclosed rear garden. The second double and additional single bedrooms both overlook the lawn and its colourful borders at the front of the property. The single bedroom could easily double up as an office or hobby room.

Also in the hallway is a laundry cupboard and loft hatch allowing access to the roof space. (There is potential to develop the roof space, subject to usual consents).

Outside
 
The sizeable rear lawned garden is entirely private and edged with a variety of beautiful mature evergreen Oaks, Firs and Horse Chestnuts offering shade on sunny days. 
 
As well as the sun terrace, the garden also benefits from a small pond and greenhouse which is screened by a bed of roses, lavender and salvias. 
 
There are lots of very useful access points to the rear garden, either via a side gate or through the kitchen, utility or garage.

Situation

Wookey is a charming village which is big on community spirit, set just 2 miles to the south west of Wells, 6 miles to the east of Wedmore and Cheddar.  A charming village steeped in history with the River Axe running through the village.  At the heart of the village is Wookey Hub, café and village stores which stocks a wide range of local produce with meat supplied by a local butcher, fresh fruit and veg and fish can be ordered for collection on a Tuesday.  The café serves great coffee, loose leaf tea and rich chocolate bar milkshakes – a hit with young and more mature alike!  Wookey boasts 3 good pubs, the 14th century Ring of Bells, The Pheasant and Burcott Inn, all serving food and providing a traditional village pub experience.  Wells leisure centre is just over a mile away with its indoor swimming pool, exercise classes, gym and sports field that is home to Wells rugby club. 

Wells, the smallest city in England offers a wonderful array of independent boutique shops as well as high street staples such as Boots and Waterstones.  Local supermarkets include Waitrose, Tesco and Morrisons.  With some great restaurants including the recently opened Bishop’s Eye, you really are spoilt for choice be it a fantastic coffee from ‘Strangers with Coffee’ or an organic feast from The Good Earth Restaurant.  A morning stroll around the Bishop’s palace moat to a concert at the Cathedral or attending the well renowned Wells Literature festival which attracts around 14,000 visitors each autumn.  With an abundance of countryside and city on the doorstep Wookey really does offer the best of both worlds.
