Wonderfully easy, sun-filled and well proportioned living within magnificent grounds together with open views of the Mendips and medieval church.
Lower Weare is a thriving village with a church and primary school located south of the Mendip Hills. Herongate was built in 1963 and has been lovingly maintained. It is situated at the end of a short no through lane and has wide open views over adjoining farmland to the Mendip Hills. There is tremendous scope to extend or alter the property, subject to any necessary consents, to maximise its setting.The gardens are well established and the interior has views either to the Mendip Hills or across to the 12th century village church.The reception hall has a wood floor with double doors opening to the sitting room but also acts as the centre of the house. The triple aspect sitting room has lovely views, a bay window and a fireplace fitted with a coal effect fire. The spacious dining room opens into the sun room. The kitchen is fitted with wood units and includes a double oven, with a utility room leading off. The living spaces are all off to one side of the spacious reception hall. To the other side of the reception hall are two bedrooms. One of which is the very spacious principal bedroom, which has a spacious dressing area fitted with wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is flexible in its use as it would make a great study as it overlooks the drive and the pretty front garden. There is also a family bathroom on the ground floor. On the first floor are two further bedrooms, a shower room and a box room, which could provide an office or dressing room.OutsideHerongate is approached through a gated entrance giving access to a drive, with lawn on either side, providing parking for several cars in front of a detached double garage with an electric roller door. Adjoining the garage is a work/hobby room.The attractive gardens are one of the standout features of the property. They are well established and a good size. They look over the adjoining farmland with a wide open view across to the Mendip Hills. There are level lawns interspersed with mature trees including a Magnolia and Ash. An ornamental pond with stone surround has a water feature with a small waterfall. There are beds and borders well planted with shrubs and flowering plants, a rockery, an enclosed area with Hellebores, and a kitchen garden with timber shed and greenhouse.
