Property Description: Guide Price £700,000 - £725,000. This Somerset style long house has been tastefully refurbished and extended by the current owner to create a fabulous family home complete with annex and 1/4 acre garden. The oldest part of the house dates back to 1869 and seamlessly transitions into a contemporary open plan kitchen/dining room with vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors, opening out onto the paved terrace with garden beyond. The mix of old and new is what sells this house.

You enter the house through a porch and into a large reception room. This living room has a gas fire and feature stone walls. The snug room to the right, perfect as a study or library, has an efficient Heta wood burning stove. Both of these rooms have south facing windows and look onto the mature cottage garden, which is full of life and colour all year round.

The kitchen/dining room has the 'wow' factor and is the hub of the house. The vaulted ceiling with oak beams creates a feeling of space and the aluminium bi-fold doors give plenty of natural light, and integrates the living space with the garden by opening out onto the spacious patio. The patio flows down via broad steps to the middle of the lawn, where you are surrounded by flowers and fruit trees.

The well equipped kitchen, finished with a granite work surface, with its double width peninsular, leaves plenty of space for a large dining table and seating area, everything you need for family living. The recent sympathetic renovations have revealed the original well for the cottage, which is now a key feature of this area, with LED lighting and safety glass.

Upstairs, there are three good size double bedrooms all with southerly views over the garden and fantastic views across the Somerset Levels. There is a large bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower.

The annexe is a self contained apartment, which has open plan living and kitchen space and a very generous separate bedroom. With custom designed corner windows and bi-fold doors, the annex opens out onto a secluded patio and down to the garden. The living and kitchen space has an efficient Heta log burning stove. A large double bedroom leads to a modern walk-in en-suite shower. Throughout the whole annexe there is a vaulted ceiling with oak beams and remotely controlled Velux windows, making this a light-filled modern, independent living space.

Outside: This property has a double garage with attached storage room that is large enough to convert to provide a separate studio or workshop, subject to the usual consents. The property is down a small no through lane which is only used by walkers as it leads to a footpath. There is plenty of parking for 4 to 5 cars. The garden is very private and well planted with various mature trees and shrubs. A secluded garden room and two greenhouses make this a delight for cottage garden lovers.

Location: The picturesque city of Wells has a bustling High Street and provides a range of local amenities with four supermarkets (Waitrose being the closest), a cinema, leisure centre, numerous coffee shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from, several dentists and doctors, some fabulous independent shops and even some art shops for those seeking something a little different. There are also famous historical landmarks such as the Cathedral and Bishop Walks, as well as a twice weekly produce market. There are excellent state schools in the vicinity, including Stoberry Park School, St Cuthbert's CofE Junior School, St Joseph and St Teresa Catholic Primary School and The Blue School as well as independent schools including All Hallows Prep School, Downside, Millfield and Wells Cathedral School.
