This room really has the "wow" factor with exposed wooden beams, industrial style lighting and an oak effect 'Karndean' floor. A stunning kitchen island with honed granite worktop forms the kitchen. Modern vertical radiators free up wall space and there's plenty of room for a large dining table and seating. From the kitchen French doors lead out onto the large terraced area and garden beyond which is ideal for entertaining. To the rear of the kitchen is a large walk-in pantry that has a barn style roller door and has ample shelving and space for a fridge freezer. There are two further reception rooms, one currently used as a playroom and the other being used as a library with built-in under stairs storage. Both rooms have space for a desk or sofa and offer versatility. Also on the ground floor is the snug with a multifuel wood burner. An inner hall leads to a study area with two large built-in cupboards and a glazed door leading out to the garden. The utility room is situated off this room and has a stylish Belfast sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The master bathroom is also found on the ground floor.

The village church dates from 1352, and there is a village hall, farm shop with a butchers and cafe and a thriving village school. A bus service runs each day to the Blue School in Wells and the area has many independent schools nearby including Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows, Sidcot and Millfield.
