The front of the property dates back to the 1300s, with the upper floor and extension beyond the central doors being later instalments in the 1600s. It is not listed. The present owner purchased the property as a working pub in 2007. It closed in 2020 becoming a private house. Since ownership, and mostly in more recent years, the present owner has imaginatively and sympathetically re-arranged the accommodation, extended the rear of the property to create a superb kitchen/breakfast room with roof lantern and bi-fold doors to the garden. The bathroom and shower rooms are all en-suite, and there is a further shower room on the ground floor, with the study potentially acting as a fifth bedroom. Floors are laid with flagstones, engineered English oak and ceramic tiles.
All period features are retained and include beamed ceilings, roof trusses, exposed stone walls and window seats. The interior is beautifully and thoughtfully designed. It is extremely well-presented and has a warm and friendly atmosphere.
A large vestibule with flagstone floor opens into a very comfortable reception hall/family room with a large inglenook fireplace fitted with a log burning stove. A study off the family room has an exposed stone wall and an electric log effect fire. From the reception hall, double doors open into a most striking open-plan sitting/dining room with a contemporary bespoke open tread staircase with glazed balustrade, exposed stone wall and along the rear elevation bi-fold doors open to the garden - including from the breakfast area. The sitting/dining room is open plan with a bespoke kitchen. It is extremely well equipped with a breakfast bar, central matching “butcher's block” unit and integrated appliances include twin ovens (one combi and one regular), an American fridge/freezer, hob and dishwasher. A utility room/boot room has a dog shower and opens to the garden. “There is also a shower/cloakroom as well as a laundry room equipped with a washing machine, dryer, double sink, ceiling hung drying rack and large storage shelves.
On the first floor, the landing has a French door that opens out to a balcony leading down to the garden. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and the three further bedrooms each have an en-suite shower room, all of which are contemporary. Each room have their own character and are delightful spaces.
The pretty rear garden is walled and private and has a lovely view to the slopes of the Mendip Hills. To the west there is a view of the church tower.
Bi-fold doors in the kitchen open out to the garden. There are two stone paved terraces which are split level, with the lower level containing a light-up water feature and the upper level having a brick-built barbeque, with log store. There are raised stone beds planted with shrubs and flowering plants. Both terraces are designed for entertaining. Stone steps from the upper terrace lead to an area of level lawn with a border of a variety of shrubs. There is a plum tree, and shrubs include Lilac and a Prunus. The patios and garden all have lighting installed throughout. Set against the high stone rear boundary wall, facing south, is an ornamental pergola with vines. Stone steps lead to a rear pedestrian gate giving access to a walkway to the church. In one corner there is a timber garden shed. The gardens are beautiful and one of the many stand out features of this amazing property.
