Set in a quiet rural location between Wedmore and Glastonbury, this extended four-bedroom detached house offers substantial family space with far-reaching countryside views. The house blends character features—exposed beams, stone fireplace and wood burners—with modern additions such as solar panels and an attached garage. The layout includes a large kitchen/diner/family room, two reception rooms, utility, store room and flexible bedroom arrangements across three spiral staircases; there is clear scope to create an annexe or separate living area subject to permissions.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property runs on oil-fired central heating and has double glazing installed before 2002. The walls are original cavity construction with no added insulation assumed, so some thermal upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. There is a single main bathroom listed against four bedrooms, and broadband speeds are slow — factors to allow for if working from home or hosting larger households.
Outside, the plot is a decent size with a private front garden, driveway and garage/workshop. The hamlet setting offers low crime, good local primary schools nearby and easy access to local pubs and community facilities, while larger centres such as Glastonbury and Wells are within reasonable distance. Flooding risk is assessed as medium; buyers should obtain up-to-date local flood reports and insurance quotes.
This property will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful family home in a tranquil agricultural setting, or those wanting a countryside project with immediate liveability. It presents genuine potential for energy improvements, internal reconfiguration or annexe conversion to add value and adapt to modern family needs.
