House For Sale £1,495,000
Applehayes is behind a stone wall and tall mature trees with most attractive grounds that lie behind the house and have a superb open south facing view for miles to the Mendip Hills.
The present owner purchased the property in 1971. Shortly after purchase, it was substantially extended on either side into an excellent family house. Emphasis was given to size and aspect of the main rooms, in order to maximise the view. The family room and sitting room, which has a stone fireplace and chimney breast, both have sliding patio windows that open out to the terrace. These two rooms together with the kitchen/breakfast room look over its lovely gardens, grounds and beyond to open countryside and the Mendip Hills. Both the study and dining room overlook the in and out drive.
On the first floor the principal bedroom has a balcony with stunning views and an en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms and a family bath/shower room.
Applehayes is approached over an in and out drive behind a stone boundary wall and well established trees. One entrance has double solid timber gates with the other having a farm gate. A detached double garage lies to the west and the drive allows parking for a number of cars. The front garden has a shaped lawn and stone-edged borders that are well-planted with shrubs and spring bulbs. Trees include a Magnolia.
The south facing rear gardens are a delight and well-established. A paved terrace spans the width of the house and is split level with steps leading down to an expanse of lawn. There are deep shaped beds and borders well stocked with a variety of flowering plants and shrubs. Climbing shrubs include Wisteria and Honeysuckle. A purpose built circular entertaining area with stone built seating and barbeque occupies a lovely position with a south and west aspect. A shaped heated swimming pool, at a lower level is surrounded by a stone paved area and established shaped shrubbery borders. A hard tennis court lies along the western boundary.
Trees around the garden include Silver Birch, Acers, Ash, Magnolia and Lilac. Fruit trees include apple, pear, and plum.
Beside the tennis court is a small paddock with a large three bay timber framed open fronted hay/tractor/implement barn together with a lock up timber store.
Beyond and adjoining the small paddock is a further field. Vehicular access to the paddock and field is along the western boundary.
In all the property extends to about 3.72 acres.
