House For Sale £2,650,000
Situated in 2.14 acres of formal lawns and paddocks, this former rectory has been extensively renovated and occupies an elevated position affording stunning westerly views towards Glastonbury Tor. In addition to the main residence there is a detached, two bedroom annexe located on the northern boundary. Gardens and paddocks surround the properties and enjoy near total privacy.
The main residence is configured to provide versatile family living. The accommodation has been renovated in a contemporary style, but care has been taken to retain many of the original features. The spacious entrance hall includes exposed wood floors and provides access to the principal ground floor rooms. Three of the reception rooms feature exposed wood floors and working fires with stone surrounds. The two larger rooms enjoy south westerly aspects overlooking the landscaped grounds.
The spacious, fully integrated kitchen features quartz worksurfaces, an Aga (with companion hob) and a substantial central island. Measuring just over 30ft in length, the kitchen provides ample storage, including a designated pantry. There are various aspects which provide garden views and allow plenty of natural light into this stunning room. The kitchen extends through to a separate dining room where there is further seating and garden access.
This impressive room has been recently completed following a period of significant extension. There is a vaulted beamed ceiling, floor to ceiling windows, and French doors providing access to a south facing terrace, perfectly positioned for alfresco dining. Off here (accessed via steps) is a separate utility room (further external access), a double bedroom and a shower room. The configuration of these rooms would enable self-contained living within in the main house.
There are four substantial first floor bedrooms, two en-suite shower rooms, and a family bathroom featuring a roll top bath and a separate shower enclosure. Two of the bedrooms are fitted with cast iron fireplaces and there is extensive cupboard storage in the largest bedroom on this floor. Our vendors have recently completed an extensive loft conversion which is now home to the main bedroom and a superb en-suite bathroom. This impressive space features two substantial sky lights and three dormer style windows offering stunning, elevated views. A walk-in dressing area with built in cupboards provide extensive storage options.
Annexe
Following a period of major renovation, this two bedroom annexe has a modern feel throughout. The property features an open plan kitchen / living area, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and allocated parking.
Adjoining the annexe is a designated workshop and a separate craft room. Each room is independently accessed and is fitted with power and light.
Garden and Grounds
Parbrook Lodge occupies a private elevated plot with commanding views of Glastonbury Tor. The property is accessed via a sweeping driveway leading to an extensive gravelled parking area equipped with EV charging points. Landscaped gardens surround the properties and extend into two paddocks. The paddocks are enclosed by fence and hedge borders. There is also a two bay stable block from previous use of the land for pony paddocking.
