Set on a large plot in the sought-after village of Shipham, this detached five-bedroom house suits a family seeking space, countryside views and low running costs. The ground floor flows around a generous kitchen/diner and dual-aspect living room with patio doors to the front and rear gardens — ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. The property includes practical utility space, a garage with electric roller shutter and gated driveway parking for several vehicles.
Upstairs offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, an en-suite to the master, a family bathroom with spa bath and a separate shower room. Many rooms take in far-reaching views across open countryside to the Bristol Channel. Environmental features include 16 solar panels with a Feed-in Tariff currently generating in excess of £2,500 per year (11 years remaining on the scheme) and an air-source heat pump, which together reduce energy bills and provide an income stream.
Well located for village amenities, a local first school and school-bus links to nearby secondary schools, the house sits within the Mendip Hills AONB for easy access to walks and open space. Practical considerations: the house was built between 1967–1975, double-glazing install date is unknown, and Council Tax is band E (above average). Mobile signal is average though broadband speeds are fast. The garage has potential for conversion subject to planning if additional living space is required.
