The property is in the catchment area for Kings of Wessex in Cheddar, Hugh Sexey Middle School and the nearby first school in Weare, Wedmore, Cheddar, Winscombe and Axbridge are all within driving distance, where there are more shopping, social and recreational facilities.

Description
The Laurels will appeal to those seeking a home of scale and versatility with generous, well planned accommodation arranged over just two floors. Originally built in the Victorian era, the property has been significantly enhanced and updated by the current owners and now offers comfortable and relaxed family living that is very well suited for multi-generational use with a suite of ground floor rooms that could be further adapted to create a wonderful independent annexe if so desired.
The house is set well back from the road with a large driveway that extends beyond the attractive front elevation to a gated and fully enclosed parking area to the rear, with ample space for numerous vehicles and a triple garage block with an attached workshop. Subject to planning approval, this offers yet further untapped potential to create a home office complex. The lovely grounds are a noteworthy feature of The Laurels being a delightful combination of formal lawned gardens, predominantly level and bordered by a backdrop of maturing trees, entertaining terraces, private woodland and a wildlife pond.
The internal layout includes four large reception rooms, a kitchen breakfast room, utility room, five double bedrooms, four bathrooms, a guest suite and four games/recreation rooms. Whilst the home has been modernised over the years, great care has been taken to retain as much of the original period charm and character as possible and any additions have been sympathetically carried out. Detailing includes attractive stone flooring, exposed ceiling beams, working fireplaces and a finely turned staircase with mahogany handrail. The relationship of the house with the extensive grounds works particularly well with many of the rooms commanding pleasing outlooks across the front or rear gardens and there is no doubt that the owners have enjoyed many occasions entertaining family and friends with the home perfectly set up to allow guests to drift in and out of the extensive recreation/party rooms to the adjoining barbeque and seating areas with a dedicated grilling deck and build in pizza oven.
Located in the catchment area for the ever popular Kings of Wessex senior School, High Sexey Middle School and Weare First School. The sellers are willing to offer the property chain free if required.
