A spacious, flexible and attractive highly individual detached house situated in an almost hidden setting with delightful gardens close to the church. Near Bristol, Bath, Wells and beyond
The property sits well back and is almost hidden from the lane with its rear elevation facing south and views over its landscaped gardens. It is an attractive house partially clad in Western Red Cedar with high gables overlooking the front drive.The present owner purchased the property in 2015. It has since been completely and imaginatively refurbished inside and out which includes powder coated steel windows, galvanised rainwater goods and stainless steel rain chains. Internally there is a clever mix of porcelain and solid oak floors and reclaimed timber boarding to some walls.The split level sitting room is a particularly impressive room with windows along its south facing elevation opening to the garden and there is a log burning stove on a raised concrete hearth. A bespoke open tread staircase and designed laser cut steel balustrade rises from the sitting room to the first floor. The kitchen is a striking room with full height vaulted ceiling, large triangular window overlooking the drive and front garden and specially designed hand crafted stainless steel & Formica kitchen units. An excellent study/music room (formerly the dining room) opens to the south garden.The accommodation is extremely flexible and is currently arranged with a self-contained one bedroom annexe in the east wing which has a sitting room, kitchen, utility room and ensuite shower room. The first floor has an impressive principal bedroom with a separate sitting area, walk-in wardrobe and views over the south garden and open countryside to the east.Two further bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom with a large walk-in shower. Both bathrooms are very well appointed. There is a small landing library and adjoining office with a view over Badgworth rooftops.There is a huge amount of flexibility throughout the property. The interior could easily revert to sole family living and the principal bedroom would also split into two double bedrooms if this were to be required.It is approached over a gravel drive with a deep border on either side planted with mature trees and established shrubs, leading to a large open porch at the front of the house and an integral garage. To the east is a wing enclosing the boiler house, oil tank and wood racks. There is an adjoining garden store.The professionally landscaped secluded south facing rear garden is a delight and is most attractively designed with deep shaped inset beds and borders. Gravel, lawn, bark and stepping stone pathways meander throughout. The garden has been planned for colour and there are numerous interesting ornamental and mature trees, shrubs , grasses and flowers. A feature square lily pond, large organicshaped natural slate patio and outside fireplace are ideal for entertaining. A small orchard lies to the east where there is vehicular access off the lane. The photos showing the rear garden in bloom were taken by the vendors last summer
