House For Sale £600,000
Set in the heart of this picturesque Mendip village, this unique, three-bedroom detached house would be ideal for a young family and is being sold with no onward chain. The stone-built house was designed by the current owner, Cynthia de Tracy Reade, in 1989.
The property boasts a large lounge and good-sized dining room and kitchen on the ground floor. There is also a cosy porch, lobby/study area and utility room, as well as a downstairs toilet. Later additions were an extensive greenhouse to one side, and a small conservatory, which benefits from the morning sunshine.
Upstairs there are three generous-sized double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, plus a spacious family bathroom. Inside the fitted wardrobes in one bedroom, there is a small door to a secret storage area under the eaves. There is also a boarded loft with plenty of space for extra storage.
To one side of the house there is a large garage, with automatic door, that gives access to the secluded back garden, complete with its own working well. To the front, there is a curved driveway and well-stocked garden, with a small stream running along inside the front wall. The entrance to the driveway is shared with the neighbouring property, the Coach House.
It is less than 100 yards to the local shop/café, the Mendip Pantry, and the long-established Waldegrave Arms, which serves excellent hearty meals in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The Waldegrave family own the surrounding estate, which they were granted by Queen Mary in the 16th Century. The current Earl, James, is the 13th to hold the title.
The local Primary School is also within walking distance, and the bus stop for half-hourly services to Bristol and Street, via Wells, is just outside the front garden gate. Wells Cathedral School and Downside School are within easy driving distance and there is a private bus for students of Millfield School.
The house faces south-west and presents a welcoming frontage, with parking for several vehicles.
