5 bedroom detached house

Y Stabl is a beautifully presented family home that has been skilfully constructed in recent years to create a highly individual house with an emphasis on space, with contemporary and stylish open plan living spaces, quality fixtures and fittings throughout, several outbuildings and beautifully tended gardens.

Y Stabl occupies a beautiful rural setting in what was originally the orchard for neighbouring Wistaria House, from the shared pea gravelled driveway a five-bar gate opens into a generous private drive with ample off-street parking that also leads to a single garage/workshop and additional outbuildings. The established front garden is bounded by a handsome stone wall with a neat level lawn which is interspersed with several mature fruit trees with well planted flower packed borders to the sides and a superb sunny orientation.

The property features a striking yet sympathetic modern façade with part rendered and part larch cladded walls. An attractive lobby provides a handy space to decamp boots and cloaks before entering the magnificent reception hallway, this exceptional dual height room is showered in natural light from the near floor to ceiling windows and gives you a stunning first impression of the house. Towards the rear of the room a bespoke glass and steel staircase winds up to the first floor where a sleek glass gantry provides access to the first-floor rooms. To the rear of the hallway there are a pair of French doors that flow out to the rear garden and the room is further enhanced by a lovely oriental stone floor, and a well-appointed cloakroom.

To the left of the hallway, you will find a large open plan living/kitchen/diner, very much the social hub of the home there is a lovely cast iron woodburning stove with plenty of space for a family sized dining table and soft seating area. Within the kitchen area the ceiling is vaulted adding a great sense of space and volume, the kitchen is fitted with a substantial range of both wall mounted and floor base high gloss units, complemented by a contrasting stone countertop. There are quality integrated appliances, a wonderful central island unit with breakfast bar and a Upvc stable door leading to the garden. A generous utility room has additional kitchen units and plumbing for white goods as well as an internal access door to the garage.

On the ground floor are three of the properties four/five bedrooms, these include a stylish master bedroom with a well-appointed en-suite bathroom with a full white suite and shower, that also features French doors leading out to the garden. The two further bedrooms share use of a smart family bathroom. To the rear of the house and completing the ground floor accommodation is the exceptional living room with its dramatic vaulted ceiling and superb triple aspect, a truly impressive room it has wall a mounted feature fireplace, luxurious solid wood floor, quality fitted display cabinets, and an outstanding glass railed galleried area which overlooks it that is accessed from the first floor.

Sweeping up the glass and steel staircase to the first floor a spectacular glass gantry leads to two further rooms, the first an impressive mezzanine room that overlooks the living room and could be utilised as a home office, yoga studio or even a bedroom if desired, and to the opposite side a large 20’ x 18’ bedroom which has under eaves storage, a wooden floor and a great outlook over the garden towards the Mendip Hills.

Outside, Y Stabl has a beautiful established garden which has been lovingly cultivated by our current owner, the large level lawn is bounded by low stone walls and post and rail fencing. The borders feature a plethora of small trees, bushes, and flowers as well as a number of fruit trees. There is a super Mediterranean inspired dining terrace for al fresco dining and a discrete vegetable garden for growing your own home produce.

To the front of the house there is a useful stone outbuilding, the aforementioned garage, which has an electric up and over door and further storage space.
