Property Description
The accommodation and gardens benefit from a stunning outlook over open countryside to the rear and the location lends itself perfectly for walking to village amenities such as the village shop/post office and the excellent local school and commuting to the nearby cities of Bristol, Bath and Wells.
The property is entered at the front into an inner hallway with access to a utility room and cloakroom/wc. There is an external door to the side of the property making this a perfect boot room. From here there is a good sized kitchen which is part open onto a dining room. The dining room itself is charming and has sliding doors to the rear gardens, a feature stain glass window (by Cornish artist Jo Downs) and also houses the staircase to the first floor. The ground floor also boasts a very generously sized sitting room, with feature log burner, and double wooden door that opens onto the conservatory. The conservatory completes the ground floor and is a wonderful spot to enjoy the south facing gardens all year round!
There is a spacious landing on the first floor from which we can access the three bedrooms, all of which offer a pleasant outlook over the aforementioned countryside! A family bathroom completes this floor. The property also benefits from solar panels which generates between £600 - £700 per annum.
To the rear, there is a lovely enclosed garden with access to the fields behind. A fine array of mature flower and shrub borders, good sized patio area and which is perfect for enjoying the south facing sun, and a level lawned area too. To the front of the house there is a further seating area, feature pond and a series of raised vegetable beds too. There is also ample off street car parking for multiple vehicles.
Our vendor says... A wonderful house in a peaceful countryside location. The south facing garden is a beautiful place to relax and leads to many walks from the doorstep. The house has lots of space - we have loved the conservatory in the summer and the log burner in the winter! It has been a perfect family home for us, set in a lovely friendly village.
