Set back on the edge of North Wootton, this four-bedroom detached house offers comfortable family living with generous rooms and a large, landscaped garden. South-facing reception rooms open through French doors to a sunny, low-maintenance garden with a pergola and productive vegetable area — great for outdoor family time and entertaining. The property is chain-free and available immediately.
The ground floor includes two bright receptions, a well-equipped kitchen with Rayburn, utility and cloakroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms (three with fitted wardrobes) and two bathrooms, including an en suite to the principal bedroom. A cobbled carport and good-size garage provide parking and storage.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is oil-fired (boiler, radiators and some underfloor heating), drainage is private to a digester unit, and the EPC is D (56). The home sits in a popular village with excellent walking and cycling access to the surrounding Somerset countryside and is between Wells and Glastonbury — useful for families seeking rural life yet local amenities and schools.
Notable negatives to factor in are a medium flood risk for the area, slow broadband speeds, reliance on oil heating, private drainage maintenance, and a higher council tax band (F). These are important cost and maintenance points for a buyer to assess alongside the home’s strong location, room sizes and garden amenity.
