On the market for the first time in over 30 years, Homedene is a handsome, four bedroom detached Victorian villa with a large rear kitchen extension, separate coach house converted into a studio, and impressive gardens including an organic wildflower meadow and vegetable garden. Ideally located to enjoy village life, yet within easy reach of Wells, Bristol and Bath.
About the property:
Nestled in the centre of the village of Chewton Mendip, Homedene provides generously proportioned accommodation with original features, high ceilings and plenty of character. A large extension contains a bespoke kitchen opening from a cosy snug, and French doors onto the rear garden. The former coach house is now an artist’s studio with a separate workshop and useful loft space that could, subject to planning, be developed further. Beneath the coach house is the original brick water cistern now used to collect rainwater for the garden. Outside, the front offers plenty of parking and to the rear, an organic wild flower meadow extends behind the house to the vegetable garden. The property has the additional benefit of a covered log store and stone bike/tool store.
About the inside:
The front door opens into the entrance hall with the original tessellated floor tiles and decorative coving. Two large reception rooms flank the front door with the living room to the left and shuttered windows overlooking the front, French doors onto the rear garden and an attractive period fireplace. The second reception room has a generous bay window and picture rails. From here, a door leads to the rear hall and the cloakroom, and on into a cosy third reception room or snug. This space has a large fireplace with a wood burning stove, tiled floors and French doors to the garden. Steps lead up to the extension - a large and light filled space with vaulted ceilings and huge oak beams. A bespoke timber kitchen is fitted with granite worktops, large electric range cooker and generous island. A walk-in pantry/utility sits to the rear of the kitchen, and a glazed door leads out to the garden and the path to the studio.
From the entrance hall, stairs lead up to a spacious landing, doubling as an office space. There are four double bedrooms, one with a large bay window, and a family bathroom, with a quirky separate shower room tucked to one side.
About the outside:
A large gravelled drive provides parking for several vehicles enclosed by high stone walls and a large timber gate leads into the garden. A beautiful Virginia creeper covers the front of the house with autumnal fiery red leaves.The original coach house has been converted into a light filled studio with power and water, with a workshop behind and loft space above. Beneath is the original brick water cistern which the current owners use to water the garden. The garden itself is attractively planted with a range of mature shrubs, roses and flowers with areas laid to lawn. A paved patio provides a secluded sun trap to enjoy al fresco dining, and steps lead up to a further area behind the house which has been lovingly developed into an organic wild flower meadow. Beyond is a productive organic vegetable garden with a greenhouse.
About the area:
Chewton Mendip has a strong community and boasts a good range of facilities including an excellent primary school with swimming pool, pre-school, The Mendip Pantry shop and cafe, village hall, church and the Waldergrave Arms pub. There are an abundance of local countryside walks and regular bus services which run to nearby towns and cities, including Bath, Wells and Bristol. Secondary schools include The Blue School, Wells Cathedral School and Millfield. Transport from the village serve these schools everyday.
Nearby, Wells offers a range of shopping facilities including a high proportion of independent shops and boutiques, banks, restaurants, public houses, cinema and churches. The stunning market square holds a farmer’s market on Wednesday and Saturday.
The property is within an easy commute to both Bath and Bristol with good transport links to London.
