This attractive modern home is ideally suited to growing families seeking spacious and comfortable living. The property is located less than two miles from Millfield Preparatory School and the increasingly popular primary school in the village of West Pennard, while the main Millfield School is less than five miles away.
The current vendors have made a number of significant improvements to the property, the most notable being the addition of an impressive detached three-bay garage with a self-contained apartment above. This versatile accommodation provides excellent ancillary living space, guest accommodation, or an attractive holiday-let opportunity, particularly during the Glastonbury Festival, when demand for local accommodation is exceptionally high. The house benefits from a tasteful neutral décor, an abundance of natural light, and far-reaching views towards the Mendip Hills from several rooms. A spacious entrance hall leads into the lounge, which features bi-fold doors opening onto a large sun terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Generously proportioned, the lounge also boasts a wood-burning stove and enjoys delightful views across the landscaped garden and towards the distant Mendip Hills.
The kitchen is another standout feature of the ground floor. Contemporary in style, it is fitted with an excellent range of modern units and benefits from bi-fold doors that frame the same uninterrupted countryside views. There is ample space for a large dining table, while practical storage and plumbing space is provided by a separate utility room and pantry cupboard. The remaining ground floor accommodation comprises a dedicated study, a cloakroom with WC, and a useful storage cupboard. Stairs rise to a stunning galleried landing, which provides access to the first-floor accommodation.
There are five first-floor bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, which features a stunning floor-to-ceiling window that perfectly frames the far-reaching views. This impressive room also benefits from an en-suite shower room and the addition of a walk-in wardrobe. The remaining four bedrooms are all generous doubles, with the second-largest bedroom also enjoying its own en-suite facilities. Having recently been upgraded, the family bathroom now boasts a stylish contemporary finish and includes a separate shower cubicle, bath, and vanity sink unit. A second-floor games room provides an excellent addition to the overall accommodation. While it is currently used as a games room, this versatile space is filled with natural light and could easily serve a variety of purposes, including a music studio, second home office, craft room, or sixth bedroom.
Garage and Self Contained accommodation.
Originally constructed as a five-bedroom home with planning permission for a garage, the current owner took full advantage of the consent and added a detached three-bay garage, built from attractive local stone. The garage offers excellent proportions, with power and lighting connected, and provides an exceptional amount of storage space thanks to its generous size.
The self-contained apartment is accessed via an external staircase to the side of the garage. A private balcony, provides a secluded seating space and access to the accommodation. Finished to a similarly high standard as the main house, the apartment enjoys a light and contemporary feel, enhanced by its open-plan layout and modern kitchen and shower room. The open-plan kitchen/living area is both practical and inviting, with the kitchen benefiting from a range of integrated appliances. The bedroom is a comfortable double and features useful eaves and built-in cupboard storage. A door leads directly into the stylish en-suite shower room, completing this versatile and well-appointed accommodation.
The apartment offers a range of possibilities, making it an excellent asset to the property. It would be ideally suited to multi-generational living, providing independent accommodation for a relative while remaining close to the main house. Alternatively, it presents an attractive holiday-let opportunity, particularly during the Glastonbury Festival, when demand for local accommodation is exceptionally high and premium rental rates can often be achieved.
