Set in the hamlet of Cocklake with uninterrupted views to the Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge, this newly refurbished five-bedroom period house combines original character with a sympathetic glass-and-oak extension. The generous, landscaped plot of about 0.75 acres offers lawns, mature trees, terraces and multiple outbuildings — ideal for family life, hobbies or a home business.
Internally the house balances period features (flagstone floors, exposed beams, inglenook fireplace) with contemporary finishes such as underfloor heating in the extended living room and high-quality kitchen appliances. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and dressing room, while a potential guest suite can be created from two adjoining first-floor rooms. There is extensive boarded loft storage with power and light.
Important practical points: heating is provided mainly by wood-burning stoves and room heaters, with the main fuel listed as wood logs. The property is traditional granite construction and is assumed to have no wall insulation; double glazing is older (installed before 2002). Services note private drainage; council tax is above average (Band E). These factors should be considered alongside the home’s high finish and substantial plot.
For families, the location is a strong draw — within easy reach of highly regarded state and independent schools, local village amenities in Wedmore, and good road links to the M5 and Bristol Airport. The house is chain-free and offers flexible spaces, extensive outdoor scope and secure parking for multiple vehicles.
