5 bedroom property with land for sale

Description: Guide Price £750,000 - £850,000 (subject to plot size). An extraordinary opportunity to purchase this plot of land (approximately six acres) which has planning permission granted for a substantial house with outbuildings in the Somerset countryside, away from main roads, with 360 degrees of rural views, just outside the desirable village of Wedmore.

Full planning permission has been granted for a five bedroom, four bathroom, two storey house, currently in the style of a Dutch Barn (this can be changed subject to planning). The property would be south-facing with countryside views over the land and beyond. The land is bound by mature trees and hedgerow and surrounded by farmland. The garden would be south-west facing to take full advantage of the stunning sunsets which the area is so famous for.

The planning for the current internal layout has been well thought out with design, aesthetics and modern living in mind. With a spacious open plan kitchen/living room, a separate sitting room, study, utility room and downstairs shower room on the ground floor plus five bedrooms and four bathrooms (and with a dressing room in the principal suite) the layout is perfect for a family.

The planning includes a very grand triple garage complex or large outbuilding with room above which could be used as an office, entertainment room or ancillary accommodation.

There is clearly potential to change the design of the current building, subject to the usual planning permissions, should the new owner desire. The site lends itself to a modern design or a more traditional building - the scope is endless. With the potential to purchase the full plot of land, the new owners would, effectively, own their view and this obviously opens the plot up to the potential of an equestrian property, small holding or, in keeping with the area, a re-wilding project. Again the opportunities are numerous.
