A substantial country home set in wonderful park like grounds with a large ornamental lake and a superb self contained 2 bedroom annexe in the grounds.
Description
In recent years this superb country home has been significantly upgraded by the current owners to create an exceptional family home worthy of this wonderful location. Surrounded by glorious open countryside and resembling a period manor house, it may be a surprise to learn that it was constructed as recently as 1983 but the attention to detail in using local materials with mellow stone elevations and mullioned windows means that the house sits very comfortably in its grounds and blends in perfectly with the lovely Somerset farmland that stretches out beyond in every direction.
Quality finishes were specified throughout that include a fine Tulip wood staircase and window sills and later additions have bought the home fully up to date with a superb newly fitted kitchen and utility, Neville Johnson wardrobes and fitted home office, and most notably the wonderful two bedroom bothy built in 2018 – a spacious fully self-contained annexe adjacent to the lake. This is of the perfect size to allow a relative privacy and independence or to generate an income stream through Air B & B. In the main house, bathrooms have been upgraded to include an exceptional ground floor bathroom/wet room finished in Mandarin Stone and the very smart en suite to the principal bedroom with a Jacuzzi bath and marble wall and floor finishes. The main bedroom is a particular fine room of over 34’ with a high vaulted ceiling and exposed roof trusses evocative of a time gone by. The home features underfloor heating throughout with a Minster fireplace in the drawing room with an efficient wood burning stove and all windows are double glazed.
Much of the appeal of the home is the flexibility that it offers any future buyer. The split of bedrooms over both the ground and first floors works particularly well for those with grown up children or seeing to enjoy multi-generational living - the house is designed that these ground floor rooms could be space for leisure/work or perhaps adapted to be a fully self-contained apartment. The studio above the garage offers yet further possibilities.
The House is set well back from this country lane and surrounded by its large and level grounds. It is approached via and impressive stone pillared and gated entrance with a driveway that sweeps alongside the lake to a large turning area and the integral double garage. The lake is a delightful part of the grounds, a haven for wildlife and features an ornamental wood bridge to the central island. A former well has been repurposed with internal walls, tilled floor and stone shelving so that it can be used as outdoor kitchen and dining area or those keen on outdoor entertaining. Beyond the house lies a further summerhouse/cabin and a greenhouse. The expansive lawned grounds are interspersed with a variety of maturing trees, with a small copse and colourful shrubbery beds. The far reaching views stretch well beyond the adjoining countryside to the distant Mendip Hills.
Location
The property is approximately two miles from the A370 and A38 proving swift access to the M5 (Junction 21) about 5 miles and Bristol airport. Day to day shopping is catered for in nearby Winscombe (1.8 miles) , Sandford (1.5 miles) or Congresbury (4 miles). There is a farm shop at Puxton Park just 3 miles away and more extensive shopping at Weston super Mare (7.5 mile) and Bristol (15 miles).
Local primary schools are in Sandford or Winscombe with state secondary schooling at Churchill. There is a choice of private schooling whether in Bristol, Wells, Millfield or Sidcot.
