5 bedroom detached house for sale

‘At Last’ is a beautifully presented property enjoying a semi-rural location on the outskirts of the desirable village of Compton Dundon.

Sitting centrally within its quarter of an acre plot, ‘At Last’ features a beautiful green oak framed living space which flows from the kitchen providing a truly exceptional family and entertaining space with the added appeal of a matching oak framed, al fresco, dining space.

Cream render and tiles greet at the entrance where a well-proportioned entrance hall leads through to three interconnected living spaces consisting of a snug sitting room overlooking the front of the property and a cosy dining room, which if not required for dining, would make an ideal study area. From the dining room folding doors open into the stunning kitchen and living space where the current owners have enjoyed many parties, making the most of the splendid space and convenience of access to the garden via tri-fold doors. Tucked off the stylish kitchen, the owners have configured a self-contained guest suite comprising a large double bedroom and shower room. The utility room of the main house can serve as a kitchen area for preparing simple meals and along with a separate access door from the garden, this area can be shut off from the main house. Perfect as an occasional rental or to accommodate multi-generational living.

Returning to the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor where there is a master bedroom with en-suite and two further double bedrooms. A smaller single room is currently used as the dressing room for the master but would make a perfect child’s bedroom or nursery. Whilst the master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with bath and attached shower the other light and very pleasant bedrooms are served by a family shower room.There exists here a rare opportunity to purchase a stylish low maintenance home that is ready to move into in a very desirable location. Additionally, the adjacent double garage was constructed with future conversion in mind and is already insulated with a flue to accommodate a wood burning stove. Plans have been drawn up to demonstrate the potential of joining the garage to the house to provide additional accommodation and planning consideration has been given to replacing the garage and making a new entrance and driveway. This lovely property also ticks the environmental box with solar panels providing electricity. It is estimated that the Solar facility contributes £600 of electricity per annum.

Outside
The garden is laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by a combination of Beech and evergreen Fir hedging complemented by blue lias stone walling. A block paved driveway and parking area provides parking for a number of cars and a matching block pathway features in the rear garden. There is plenty of space here for children to play and pets to run around and as it currently stands the garden isn’t any task master. A pair of stunning 100-year-old apple trees believed to originally have formed part of one of the villages orchards, take pride of place in the garden and in season still provide fruit for the whole village. There is a mix of evergreen structural planting and softer herbaceous plants. The oil tanks for the property are cleverly concealed and there are a number of external power sockets and two outside taps.

One of the aspects about living in this village that the current owners particularly love are the walks.
