The house is approached via a gated entrance and a stone-chipped drive providing ample parking and leading to a double garage. A door opens into a spacious hallway with doors off to all principal rooms, staircase to the first-floor accommodation, cloakroom, and storage.

To the left, the main sitting room is a generous and comfortable space, featuring a central fireplace, bespoke alcove shelving, and a large bay window to the front, southerly aspect and so enjoys plenty of natural sunlight.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining room, beautifully appointed with granite work surfaces, complemented by a comprehensive range of oak cabinetry and Travertine tiled flooring, a range of integrated Neff appliances, and a central island.

The room opens up into a dining area with several skylights and full-width bi-folding doors which flood the space with light and connect seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining terrace, whilst oak flooring contributes to the high quality of finish present.

Off the kitchen is a utility room with further cabinetry, plumbing for laundry appliances, a secondary sink, and access to the garden.

Steps lead down to a fabulous family room with a feature ‘picture’ window capturing magnificent views towards Glastonbury Tor and the Mendips. Further bi-folding doors and a wood-burning stove ensure that the space is perfect all year round and complete this bright and welcoming room.

A study and a mezzanine snug above offer excellent versatility, providing options for home working, reading, or a playroom.

There are four ground-floor bedrooms, including two with ensuite shower rooms, and three with fitted wardrobes. A contemporary family shower room serves the remaining rooms, complete with a walk-in shower, basin and WC.

On the first floor is a further double bedroom with outstanding countryside views – an ideal guest suite. Adjacent is a large loft room with potential for further accommodation (subject to the necessary consents).

Outside

The house sits in a generous plot of just under 0.6 acres of mature gardens laid mainly to lawn and enclosed with established hedging for privacy, this is great for families and entertaining alike.

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.
