The stylish dining room next to the kitchen has wooden floors and generous bookshelves with a glazed sliding door that leads out to one of the many sunny private areas in which to enjoy the garden.

There are two further bedrooms on another floor with the family bathroom and a useful study area tucked neatly under the stairs.

Outside: Southdown House has plenty of parking to the front and side of the house as well as a double garage with an access door into the rear terraced courtyard, this could also make for an ideal workshop. The outside is beautifully landscaped and planted with mature trees and shrubs creating privacy.

With three different seating areas and French doors into the living and dining rooms, it makes an ideal house for entertaining.


Location: Westbury sub Mendip is a small rural village, located just 4 miles from Wells on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a fabulous community run village stores with a cafe in the garden at the rear in which to meet friends or have a coffee. There is a popular village school as well as walks on your doorstep along the now disused railway line that ran through the village. The Strawberry Line (as it is known), is now a popular cycle route linking this southern side of the Mendips from Yatton to Wells and beyond. There are numerous fruit and vegetable market stalls found along this popular route in Draycott and Rodney Stoke towards Cheddar offering you the opportunity to buy from a local producer. Or if you are feeling more adventurous why not try the Mendip Gliding Club for spectacular views as you soar over the Somerset Levels from just above Draycott Steep or further walks right on the doorstep up through the Mendips and beyond including the impressive Cheddar Gorge. An easy drive to Wells with the benefit of regular bus services and only a short drive to Bristol Airport (approx. 12 miles)
