About the property.

Built in 1852, this attractive stone built property offers three levels of flexible living accommodation. Sympathetically renovated and extended, the property features oak floors, vaulted ceilings, woodburning stoves to the living room and study, exposed interior stone walls, and a stunning oak garden room. Balconies and French doors across the back take full advantage of the uninterrupted views of the Somerset Levels, which can also be seen from the glass corridor joining the main house to the study and principal bedroom. Decking provides an ideal spot to sit and read beside the river at the bottom of the large garden.

Bleadney and the surrounding villages offer a welcoming and active community, farm shop, and good schools with easy access to both Wells and Wedmore.

About the inside.

The front door is approached via a vine covered wooden walkway, and opens into a large oak floored entrance hall. The characterful living room features stone walls, an internal window onto the glass corridor and french doors onto the balcony with open views across the levels. The glass corridor connects the main property with the recently converted garage which now comprises of the vaulted study, also with a balcony to the rear, and this room in turn leads to a smaller reading room overlooking the front. A useful boot room, WC and storage cupboard complete the accommodation on this floor.

Stairs from the hallway lead down to the generous sized kitchen/dining room with a range of floor and wall cupboards, built in oven, freestanding Everhot electric range, and french doors onto the terrace. The dining area opens into the beautiful oak garden room with vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls and doors onto the garden. There is also a small double bedroom and adjoining shower room on this floor. The extension, connected by the glass corridor and with a separate entrance to the outside, houses the principal bedroom with French doors onto the terrace and en-suite shower room with large walk-in shower. The utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine could be converted into a kitchen creating the potential for a self contained annexe.

On the top floor the light filled landing leads into two large double bedrooms with vaulted beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls. The bedroom to the rear has views and has a range of built in wardrobes. The bedroom to the front features an attractive stone arched window. The bedrooms are serviced by a modern fitted bathroom with separate shower.
