About the property:
Built in 2012 with the appearance of a traditional stone cottage to the front, this property opens up into a spacious contemporary house with a soaring double height kitchen/living space with bifold doors enjoying stunning views across open countryside. Thoughtfully designed with three further ground floor reception rooms and four double bedrooms upstairs, and a galleried triple aspect landing providing a unique place to sit and enjoy the views from the balcony doors. Outside a swathe of lawn borders open fields and an Italian tiled terrace is an ideal spot for alfresco dining. A double garage, shed and vegetable plot completes this incredible family home.
About the inside:
An oak porch draws you into a welcoming and spacious entrance hall with limestone floors and straight into the impressive kitchen/dining/living space which is the real heart of the home. A soaring double height vaulted ceiling with a striking modern light fitting and bifold doors displaying far reaching countryside views create a lasting impression, while the pale contemporary kitchen with polished granite worksurfaces is a joy to linger in. A woodburning stove adds to the atmosphere, and warm oak balustrades allow glimpses of the first floor galleried seating area with additional bifolds flooding the space with natural light. A useful utility room provides side access to the vegetable garden.
The cosy living room has oak floors and a feature brick fireplace with a woodburning stove. French doors open onto an Italian tiled terrace shaded by a beautiful sycamore tree. A further reception room, currently used as a gym, could be a guest bedroom, or bedroom 5, with the study next door offering potential to be converted into a bathroom. A cloakroom and spacious storage cupboard complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs the galleried landing offers uninterrupted views of the Somerset countryside with large windows on either side and bi-fold doors opening to a Juliet balcony. To one side, there are two spacious double bedrooms, each with built in wardrobes. On the other side, there is another double bedroom and a contemporary family bathroom with a modern freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle, and twin sinks set on a built-in vanity unit. At the end of the landing is the principal bedroom with views to the rear, and a newly fitted luxury modern en-suite shower room uniquely designed with black slate and white porcelain tiling, twin sinks set into a wraparound worksurface with drawers beneath, and built in storage cupboards.
About the outside:
Tucked down a private driveway there is ample parking for several vehicles in front of the double garage. To the rear, a sweeping lawn leads down to a discreet fence bordering the meadow beyond. Several paved and decked terraces offer a range of perfect places for al fresco entertaining whilst enjoying the breathtaking views. Steps lead down to the hot tub, BBQ area and lawn, and subtle outdoor lighting illuminate the terraces and the large sycamore tree. To one side raised vegetable beds and a potting shed provide the keen cook with fresh produce.
