An immaculate and substantial five-bedroom family house with a separate studio/office that has significant potential to be an annexe. There is a double garage and workshop, gardens extending to approximately 0.6 of an acre and is set within a secluded location along a private drive, walking distance to the local amenities in Oakhill.
About the property:
The Old Coach House is a beautiful, unique, period property situated down a private, secluded driveway and thought to date back to 1760. Converted and extended, the interior accommodation is presented to a high standard throughout with several dual aspect windows allowing natural daylight to flood through the property. The house comprises five bedrooms, a detached studio/office, separate double garage and several garden areas which create a highly flexible and incredibly spacious home.
About the inside:
A wide arched porchway opens into the impressive entrance hall with the stairs to the galleried landing above. On the ground floor there is a large dual aspect L-shaped kitchen/dining room. This spacious modern kitchen has granite worktops, built-in appliances as well as a glazed door onto the paved terrace, and gardens. This creates an excellent indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining in summer months and allows masses of natural daylight to flood through the room.
Opposite the kitchen is the 21' triple aspect sitting room with wide French doors opening onto the side lawn and offering a lovely view of the mature gardens. A stone hearth houses the open fireplace and exposed beams on this floor offer a nod to its history. There is a third reception room, currently used as a snug/playroom, but can also serve as a formal dining room if desired and from the entrance hall, another door leads to the cloakroom/utility with additional shower.
Upstairs the galleried landing and its exposed beams provides extensive library shelving and is a perfect spot to study. This leads to two wings with the east featuring the principal bedroom which has attractive views over the terrace, built-in wardrobes and enjoys the benefit of an en-suite bathroom. There is another double bedroom on this side, again with built-in wardrobes and a large walk-in boiler room/airing cupboard which is perfect for the larger family.
The west wing features three further double bedrooms. Two have built-in wardrobes and each are served by the impressive family bathroom with separate walk-in shower and large Velux windows.
Detached from the house is the large studio/office offering over 400 sq. ft of further living space. Bright and airy with vaulted ceilings and windows on three sides, it has been divided into two separate spaces with a generous store cupboard between and has a separate heating system from the main house making it an ideal home office or business space. There is clear opportunity to develop this into a self-contained annexe – subject to the usual planning consents.
About the outside:
The house is approached via a very private driveway which leads into a vast cobbled courtyard at the front of the house. There is parking here for several vehicles but there is a second driveway and rear entrance with access to a double garage with its adjoining workshop. This again has a large turning area and can accommodate several vehicles.
There are five separate garden areas which offer a variety of places to sit and enjoy this peaceful location. To the right of the property is a lawn bordered by mature hedges and shrubs. A wrought iron gate leads into another 'secret garden' with a monkey puzzle tree. To the left of the main house, a generous paved terrace accessed from the kitchen has steps down to a walled garden with a feature circular flower bed, small stone bothy and an arch in the wall leading to the greenhouse and rear access to the double garage. Alongside the driveway is another area of garden with numerous trees and ferns. The house is also surrounded by immaculate paddocks which belong to the neighbouring properties and offer wide open views of the local countryside.
About the area:
The pretty village of Oakhill lies to the eastern end of the Mendip Hills within easy commuting distance of Bristol and Bath, five miles from Wells and four miles from Shepton Mallet. The nearby main line rail links are situated at Castle Cary, Bath and Bristol, and Bristol airport is only 30 minutes away.
The village enjoys a varying range of different age and style of properties with many period and individual homes. Within the village there is a doctors’ surgery, a superb village shop with café, village churches, village hall with community café, recreation field and a popular public house.
Oakhill boasts an excellent primary school whilst secondary schools are within easy reach. In addition, The Wells Cathedral School, Downside, All Hallows, Bruton School for Girls and Millfield are easily accessible.
