Set below a quiet country lane on the fringe of Batcombe, this newly renovated five-bedroom detached house sits in about 0.79 acres of south-facing grounds with far-reaching Mendip outlooks. The principal wing offers generous reception space including a living room and dining room with wood burners, a handmade kitchen with granite tops and Belfast sink, plus a vaulted family room with green oak detail — all finished to a high, traditional standard. Three bathrooms and two staircases increase flexibility for family living or multi-generational occupancy.
A substantial detached outbuilding provides four versatile rooms, a shower room and an impressive skittle room with ESSE stove; a separate party barn with wood burner and storeroom adds workshop, studio or entertaining possibilities. The property benefits from practical services for rural life: private water via spring and borehole with UV system, oil central heating and private drainage (septic tank). There are three terraces, large level lawns (suitable for tennis or football) and generous parking behind double wooden gates.
Important practical points are stated plainly: council tax is described as quite expensive, and mobile signal is absent. Broadband information is mixed — Voneus ultrafast is listed among services but other data notes very slow speeds; buyers should verify connectivity for remote working needs. The house has an EPC D. Overall this is a characterful, substantial country home that will suit families, those needing ancillary accommodation, or downsizers seeking space and privacy — buyers should allow for rural service arrangements and confirm connectivity and running costs prior to offer.
