4 bed detached house for sale

Harptree Hill, West Harptree, North Somerset BS40

An exceptional detached countryside home with generous family accommodation and idyllic rural views.

Description
Quarry Cottage is an attractive and substantial detached home offering over 2,000 sq ft of well balanced accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family living. Having been well loved and enjoyed by the current owners for nearly 30 years, the property presents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to update and modernise to their own taste, creating a truly special long term home.

The property is entered via a sunny and welcoming conservatory, which immediately sets the tone with a light filled approach and a strong connection to the surrounding garden. From here, the accommodation flows into the main body of the house, where a superb sitting room extending over 26 feet provides a cosy and comfortable space ideal for relaxing and entertaining. A spacious kitchen dining room forms the heart of the home, offering excellent proportions for family life, while a generous adjoining family room provides further versatility. A separate study completes the ground floor, ideal for home working or quieter retreat, with the overall layout offering both practicality and flexibility.

A particularly appealing feature of Quarry Cottage is the presence of two staircases, which provide a high degree of independence and flexibility to the first floor. This arrangement lends itself well to a variety of uses, whether for growing families, multi generational living or creating clearly defined guest or work from home zones. Upstairs, there are four well proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a pleasant outlook, all served by well appointed bathroom facilities. The layout offers versatility and, whilst entirely comfortable as is, presents clear scope for modernisation to suit contemporary lifestyles. Externally, the property benefits from mature gardens, ample parking and a substantial double garage, completing this highly desirable village home.
