Enjoying fabulous views to both the front and rear, this superb property includes a dual-aspect sitting room and kitchen/dining room, a study, a generous garden and off-road parking. EPC Rating: E.


A door to the front of the property opens into an enclosed entrance porch with windows on both sides; a useful area for boots/coats etc. An inner door then opens into a central hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first floor accommodation and access to the sitting room and kitchen. The sitting room is dual-aspect with a window to the front and hardwood French doors to the rear, opening out to the garden. This comfortable reception room includes a multi-fuel stove, a lovely focal point and ideal for those colder evenings. Similar to much of the accommodation, the sitting room enjoys a delightful outlook to the front and rear, across neighbouring countryside and beyond. Across the hall, the kitchen/dining room is light and airy and has been fitted with a range of contemporary floor and wall units, with a large island providing additional food preparation space. Also dual-aspect, the kitchen includes an integrated ‘Bosch’ oven, grill and microwave, an induction hob with a ‘Neff’ extractor over, as well as an integrated dishwasher. Two fitted double cupboards to one side allow for additional storage, with one housing an ‘Ideal’ gas-fired combination boiler. There is space at one end of the kitchen for a dining table and chairs, perfect for enjoying the aforementioned view.

A door from the kitchen then continues through to a side lobby, which has an external door to the side and leads into a downstairs WC, a useful utility room (with plumbing for a washing machine) and to the study. A perfect space for those who work from home or perhaps seek a play/hobby room, the study has a window to the front with a southerly aspect.

On the first floor, a central landing has a window to the rear overlooking the garden, fields and woodland behind, with the former chapel at South Horrington standing prominently in the distance. The landing gives access to the loft space, which is insulated with some boarded storage and a pull-down ladder. There are three bedrooms upstairs, two good size doubles both with a built-in wardrobe and a roomy single to the rear. Completing the accommodation is a modern shower room, fitted with a ‘walk-in’ double shower, a wash hand basin and a low-level WC. 

OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is one off-road parking space with layby parking available in front (unallocated). Four stone steps then lead up to the main entrance, with an area of landscaped garden to the front bordered by hedging. Gated access to the side of the house then continues through to the garden at the rear which is a particularly generous size. Predominantly laid to lawn, the rear garden would suit those with children and is enclosed to all sides, by fencing. The garden includes a stone-chipped seating area at the back, making the most of the outlook behind, plus sections of raised beds and established shrub borders. Furthermore, the garden includes a timber storage shed and an outside tap.

Southview is located on the eastern outskirts of Wells, approx. 1.5 miles from the city centre within the favoured village of East Horrington and well-placed for those looking to commute to both Bath and Bristol. The smallest city in England, Wells is well-known for its famous landmarks such as the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace. In addition, this beautiful city offers a bustling High Street, with a wide selection of independent and national retailers together with numerous restaurants and coffee shops. There is a twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square and many cultural activities around the city throughout the year. There are superb schools nearby (including a primary school at South Horrington), a leisure centre, a golf course (almost opposite) and some wonderful rural walks on the doorstep.
