Description
In recent years this superb country home has been significantly enhanced by the current owners to create an exceptional family residence, perfectly befitting its idyllic Somerset setting. Surrounded by glorious open countryside and resembling a traditional manor house, it may come as a surprise to learn that the property was constructed in 1983. Thoughtfully designed using local stone elevations and handsome mullioned windows, the house sits beautifully within its grounds and blends seamlessly with the surrounding farmland.
Quality craftsmanship is evident throughout, with features including an elegant Tulip wood staircase and matching window sills. Subsequent improvements have brought the property firmly into the modern era, most notably through the installation of a superb contemporary kitchen and utility room, bespoke Neville Johnson fitted furniture including a home office and principal bedroom wardrobes, and beautiful engineered wood flooring to the lounge and hallway. The standout addition is undoubtedly the impressive two-bedroom bothy, constructed in 2018 and positioned beside the lake. Offering spacious and fully self-contained accommodation, it is ideally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or as a potential income-generating holiday let.
The principal house provides highly versatile accommodation, with bathrooms upgraded to an excellent standard. These include an exceptional ground floor bathroom and wet room finished in Mandarin Stone, together with a luxurious principal en suite featuring a Jacuzzi bath and marble wall and floor finishes. Bedroom Two benefits from a mezzanine level, fitted wardrobes and an additional shower room, creating an ideal retreat for teenagers or guests. The principal bedroom is a particularly magnificent space extending to over 34 feet in length, complemented by a vaulted ceiling and exposed roof trusses that evoke the character of a much older country house.
The property enjoys underfloor heating throughout, while a Minster fireplace with an efficient wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point to the drawing room. All windows are double glazed, further enhancing comfort and efficiency.
A key strength of the property is the flexibility it affords future owners. Bedrooms are arranged across both the ground and first floors, lending themselves perfectly to families with older children, dependent relatives or multi-generational living. The ground floor accommodation could readily be adapted to provide a self-contained living area if required, while the studio above the garage offers further scope for home working, hobbies or ancillary accommodation.
The house is discreetly positioned well back from a quiet country lane and is surrounded by extensive level grounds. An impressive stone-pillared gated entrance opens onto a sweeping driveway that passes alongside the lake before arriving at a generous turning area and integral double garage. The lake itself forms a particularly attractive feature of the grounds, providing a haven for wildlife and incorporating an ornamental wooden bridge leading to a charming central island.
A former well has been imaginatively repurposed as an outdoor entertaining space, complete with internal walls, tiled flooring and stone shelving, creating a unique setting for al fresco dining and gatherings. Beyond the main house are a summer house or cabin and a greenhouse, while expansive lawns are interspersed with mature specimen trees, colourful shrub borders and a small copse. From many vantage points there are far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards the distant Mendip Hills.
Location
The property is approximately two miles from both the A370 and A38, providing swift access to Junction 21 of the M5, approximately five miles away, as well as Bristol Airport.
Day-to-day shopping is catered for in the nearby villages of Winscombe (1.8 miles), Sandford (1.5 miles) and Congresbury (4 miles). A farm shop is available at Puxton Park, just three miles away, while more extensive shopping, leisure and commercial facilities can be found in Weston-super-Mare (7.5 miles) and Bristol (15 miles).
Primary schooling is available in Sandford and Winscombe, with state secondary education at Churchill Academy & Sixth Form. There is also an excellent choice of independent schools in the region, including Sidcot School, Millfield School, Wells Cathedral School and a number of highly regarded schools in Bristol.
