7 bedroom detached house for sale

A highly desirable, twin gabled, double fronted Victorian family home of substantial proportions totalling 6100 square feet. The property has been extensively and meticulously refurbished by the current owner over the past four years and now presents a highly prestigious and luxurious family home. The house benefits from 24 solar panels on the roof with a 10kw battery (installed 2024), thermal ‘solar boost' technology and double glazing throughout. As a result, the property' energy costs total around £110 a month which, for its size, is remarkable and very rare.

The house is approached via electric gates into a substantial, tarmac and block paved parking area with ample parking for up to eight cars. A mature border or shrubs and perennials provides colour and tall surrounding hedging adds privacy. A double garage with electric gates and a concrete floor provides further parking for two cars as well as excellent storage. An oak framed, gated lean-to on the east side of the building provides very useful further storage, also with block paving.

The substantial front door leads into a spacious entrance with abundant period charm in the form of intricate ceiling rose and cornicing, mosaic tiled flooring and stunning stained glass windows and doors. A cupboard houses the two new consumer units (installed 2024).

To the left is a sizeable bay drawing room with a stunning, original, cast iron, gas fireplace with marble hearth and surround.

The room beyond was external but has been incorporated within the property by the current owner and is fully insulated with underfloor heating, Cat 7 broadband, a skylight and window onto the garden. The room makes for a perfect home office or study.

Back off the hall is a fantastic further sitting / cinema room with the same level of period detail and lovely bay windows with double glazing.

Engineered oak flooring runs throughout and two modern, aluminium, electric wall radiators kick out additional heat if needed.

The room has been opened and extended into a fantastic breakfast room with a substantial Quartz island breakfast bar looking out onto the landscaped gardens. The space is fully insulated and benefits from a triple aspect with four solar powered Velux windows overhead. The breakfast bar is fitted with two integrated wine fridges and a beer fridge. Aluminium framed bi fold doors with integrated blinds slide out directly onto a covered, external flagstone terrace.

A wide, carpeted staircase leads to the lower ground floor where there is a fully equipped gym with padded flooring, a running machine, cycling machine and home gym weight machine (all included).

Other rooms include a cool cellar with built in wine racks and a store beyond housing the hot water tank with solar boost technology. Adjacent are two further storerooms, one housing the two Valliant boilers (circa 5 and 10 years old) and a vaulted room providing excellent storage and a heat retaining extractor fan which keeps the air flowing fresh throughout.

The charming, timber, turning staircase with handrails and spindles leads up to the first floor with a laundry room on the half landing overlooking the garden and tennis courts beyond. The first floor landing is wonderfully spacious with abundant period detail. Bedrooms one, two and three are on this level and all benefit from fantastic proportions. The substantial principal suite occupies the entire west wing of the floor and benefits from premium carpeting, a full length of integrated, illuminating wardrobes and dado panelling in the dressing room and a substantial en suite with a free-standing bathtub with integrated taps, bidet, WC, twin sinks with illuminated vanity unit and a substantial, full size, aqua board rain shower. Bedroom two is also substantial with a recently installed en suite shower room with large, walk-in rain shower, wall mounted sink unit with cabinetry and a circular, illuminated wall mirror. Bedroom three, also sizeable with garden views, is served by a modern family bathroom with a free standing rolltop bathtub, sunken ceiling with spot lighting, wall mounted sink unit with cabinetry and a wall mounted cabinet with vanity unit.

The stairs continue up to the second floor via a linen store on the half landing. The top floor has the same substantial proportions as the first with four further large double bedrooms, all with high ceilings and stunning panoramic views either towards the Bristol Channel or the Mendip Hills. These rooms are served by two modern, tiled bathrooms.
