Summary - WORTHYLAND WESTFIELD LANE DRAYCOTT CHEDDAR BS27 3TN
Five-bedroom Georgian-period detached house with character features
A handsome Georgian-period detached house set in about half an acre of south-facing gardens in a quiet Mendip village. The property combines period features — flagstone floors, stone fireplaces, timber beams — with substantial contemporary living space, most notably an oak-framed kitchen/living/dining room with French doors to the garden. Heating is by biomass boiler with underfloor heating in parts and radiators throughout.
The house offers flexible accommodation over three floors: two well-proportioned reception rooms, a large open-plan oak kitchen/living/dining area, five bedrooms, a family bathroom and two shower rooms. Stone outbuildings and an open cart shed provide garaging, workshop and storage potential; these buildings are attractive and versatile but currently require your chosen reuse and maintenance. Planning consent for barn conversion to holiday use was granted around 11 years ago but has now lapsed.
This property will suit buyers seeking a character country home with extensive grounds — families who value outdoor space and village life, or buyers wanting an amenity-led project with potential to add value by reinstating permissions or converting outbuildings. Note the house is of traditional stone construction likely without wall insulation, council tax is high (Band F), and some maintenance and updating should be expected despite recent improvements.
Practical points: freehold, mains water/electricity/drainage, double glazing fitted from 2002 onwards, biomass heating using bulk wood pellets, and garage/cart-shed parking. The village has primary schooling, local shops and a pub, with Wells, Cheddar and Wedmore within easy driving distance.
