BATCH HOUSE

LYNCH LANE, CHEDDAR, SOMERSET, BS27 3QS

The house has an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, utility room, shower room and w.c.. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside there’s parking for 3 vehicles on a gravel drive, plus a large workshop/garage/storeroom.  In addition, there are garden buildings dotted throughout a substantial, sloping garden which has superb views and backs onto the Longleat estate, on the east side of Cheddar Gorge.

Location

The house occupies an elevated position on the periphery of the popular and attractive village of Cheddar, backing onto the wild and wonderful woodlands which envelope Cheddar Gorge.

Footpaths traverse the area making it perfect for keen walkers and it is a short stroll to the centre of Cheddar and all facilities, which include, amongst other things, a fantastic Thai restaurant, several pubs, a couple of churches, junior and senior schools, an array of shops and a couple of supermarkets.

Description

A traditional family home, nestled in a unique and stunning location, with spacious accommodation and fabulous, everchanging views over the roof tops of Cheddar to the Quantocks and Bristol Channel in the west.

In addition, there is a very large garage/workshop and an expansive garden.

The total plot extends to approx. 0.65acres and pre-planning approval has been granted for a 4 bedroom home and garage to the north west of the existing house.

Accommodation

A front door opens to a central hall. On the right is a very spacious sitting room with attractive and ornate fireplace, with inset log burning stove as a focal point. 

To the left a dining room, with an open fire, leads on to the kitchen/breakfast room. This has fitted units, with under unit lights, an integrated electric hob, extractor, oven and under counter fridge, 1.5 stainless steel sink and like the other two rooms, glorious south west facing views.

A door leads to the sunny conservatory and another door leads to an extension where there is a shower room with w.c and a utility room with Belfast sink, space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. An exterior door leads out to the garden.

Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, all with wonderful views and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower.

There is plenty of eaves’ storage and additional storage in an understairs cupboard.

Outside

The house is approached through a timber farm gate. The gravel drive has room for 3 vehicles and straight ahead is a very large garage/workshop with up and over metal doors and double timber doors at the north end to the garden – so in theory, you could drive straight through to the garden if you wished to.

The garage/workshop has plenty of eaves’ storage, electricity and windows and is accessible via a door as well as the garage door.

There is a garden with shrubs to the front of the house, and the main garden is to the northwest side of the house. It has been productive in the past with a potting shed, various derelict buildings, a base for a green house, concrete bases for further buildings if required. There are shrubs and floral borders, and it is surrounded by woodland (Longleat estate) to the north and fabulous views to the south. 

Pre-planning has been agreed for a 4 bedroom dwelling with garage. The plot is generous enough to accommodate both properties very comfortably. Alternatively, Batch House could continue to enjoy the privilege of a large garden with stunning views.
