House For Sale £1,500,000
Meadow Bridge House is a fabulous 7 bedroom family home situated entirely in its own land that makes up approximately seven acres. Built in 2004, it is discreetly positioned well back from the A39 and enjoys sensational views of Keward Brook that runs through the property and the countryside beyond.
This beautiful family home is accessed via a pretty drive that winds its way to a generous parking area to the South side of the house. The front door opens to an elegant hall with access to two fine reception rooms and a superb kitchen dining area at the heart of the house. The sitting room is warmed by underfloor heating (that extends throughout the ground floor) and a Jetmaster wood burner perfectly positioned beneath a fine bath stone surround. Triple aspect windows and double doors that open to the garden allow natural light to fill the room. Adjacent to the sitting room is a spacious dining room with lovely views of the garden and doors that open directly to the kitchen. This is a fabulous room; the solid oak Smallbone kitchen is luxuriously furnished with granite worktops, a Belfast sink, an integrated dishwasher, a four oven aga and a pretty island that doubles as a breakfast bar. The dining area is perfect for informal gatherings and opens to the terrace and the pool outside. Off the kitchen is an additional hall that accesses a well-equipped utility room, a boot room, a cloakroom, and a quiet home office.
Two flights of stairs run from both the main hall and the back hall to a generous landing area on the first floor. The principal bedroom with its en- suite bathroom accompanies three further bedrooms (one with an en-suite bathroom) and a family bathroom. Each bedroom is well proportioned, furnished with solid oak floors and comes with superb views of the surrounding countryside. A third flight of stairs rises to the second floor with three further bedrooms (one with en-suite bathroom). One of these bedrooms is currently used as a cinema room. Once again, each room enjoys lovely views to the South. All the bathrooms are well equipped with traditionally styled fixtures and fittings, oversized showerheads, and heated towel rails.
The Annexe
Perfectly situated in the grounds of the house is a two-storey stone-built annex, home to a double garage, a cloakroom, a changing room with sauna and shower, and a gym on the first floor. It also incorporates a Workshop/tractor shed and there is a wood store to the rear.
Outside
Meadow Bridge house occupies an enchanting setting surrounded by well-maintained gardens and grounds. A magnificent beech hedge frames the pretty drive that winds its way to the house and a parking area that sits in the shade of an aged Willow tree. To the rear of the house and of particular note is the glorious 55 ft heated pool and terrace that provide the perfect spot for al fresco entertaining in the Summer. Also, immediately adjacent to the house is a pretty terrace with picture perfect views of Keward Brook that runs through the property. Further afield, a hard tennis court offers year-round entertainment. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn and enjoy lovely views of Hay Hill. The curtilage of the property extends out to the North East and the agricultural land offers the opportunity for a variety of uses. Various mature trees enrich the near landscape and include Silver Birch, a Japanese Weeping Pear, and a variety of fruit trees. A kitchen garden and green house offer the opportunity for home grown produce.
Situation
Meadow Bridge House is perfectly and discreetly positioned in Coxley, a pretty village just a stone’s throw from the historic city of Wells. The village itself boasts a village hall, primary school, church, and restaurant. Its near neighbour Wells is fast becoming the South West's go-to place for festivals with annual food, literary, comedy and theatre events. The cafe culture within the Market Place offers a wonderful opportunity to sit and watch the world go by. Tables and chairs adorn the cobbled square surrounded by fabulous architecture, historic buildings, and popular destinations such as the Bishop's Eye wine bar/restaurant and Number 21 Cafe offer all day dining. Also close is Glastonbury, a town steeped in history that goes back to the legends of King Arthur. There was a Celtic monastery here in 500AD, which during the next 1000 years evolved into one of England’s wealthiest and most influential Abbeys. The ancient abbey ruins and the famous Glastonbury Tor attract tourists to the town and as such is a thriving community and well served by shops, supermarkets cafes and restaurants. Clark’s village in nearby Street offers a wealth of retail opportunities with more shopping and local amenities to be found in nearby Somerton and Wells. Bristol and Bath are both within an hour’s drive. Local pubs include the Lion in West Pennard and the Sheppey in Godney.
Transport links are excellent with the A39 leading to the M5. There are good rail links to London from Castle Cary and Bridgwater stations with excellent direct services to Paddington.
