The house benefits from ample private parking—a rare find in central Wedmore—and an intimate rear garden that offers a private retreat within a bustling community.

Accommodation

The front entrance is sheltered by a portico and opens into a welcoming hallway, elegantly finished with wooden skirting and a handsome staircase. Leading off the hallway are the kitchen, living room, a downstairs cloakroom, and convenient internal access to the garage, which also serves as a utility room with space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

The living/ dining room is warm and inviting with its soft neutral colour palette and rich, dark wood-coloured flooring. A log-burning stove provides a charming centre piece, while bi-folding doors offer uninterrupted views down the length of the garden, all the way to the apple tree at the far end.

The bright, double-aspect kitchen features a breakfast bar, Belfast sink, electric hob, oven and extractor. There is ample storage across both eye-level and base units, along with an integrated undercounter fridge. A part-glazed door floods the space with natural light and opens directly onto a paved terrace for outdoor dining.

Upstairs, a spacious landing connects the 3 bedrooms and family bathroom. The front, south-facing, bedroom has two large windows and an en-suite shower room. The principal bedroom and third bedroom offer views of the garden and the Mendip hills beyond.

Outside

Privately set back from the street, the house is approached by a block-paved driveway that offers off-road parking and leads to the front portico and integral garage. A pathway connects to an attractive rear garden with a level lawn, a lilypond and flowerbeds. The back of the house enjoys a sizeable, paved terrace that catches the evening sun and offers views of Wedmore’s 15th century church tower. Beyond the fruit trees at the end of the garden, there is a wooden shed and a versatile studio cabin – perfect as a creative space, reading room or peaceful retreat.

P.S.

A few extra comments

Mortgages – we can help.

Bridging loans – We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
