Spacious, character-filled family home with large gardens and renewable hot water.
Early 1800s stone cottage with original beams and timber floors
Ivy House is a generously proportioned early 19th-century stone cottage set in a peaceful Mendip hamlet, offering a rare combination of period character and modern energy features. The house unfolds across a layered layout with original details — exposed beams, wooden floorboards, a curved staircase and a red-brick fireplace — alongside a large 23-ft kitchen/breakfast room and a useful study for home working.
Set on a large, beautifully landscaped plot, the property benefits from gated off-street parking with a double carport, an attached outbuilding, several sheds (one used as a gym) and a summerhouse overlooking a wildlife-friendly pond. Roof-mounted solar thermal panels and additional water solar panels feed a high-performance thermal store, lowering annual hot-water costs and improving the home’s running efficiency.
The accommodation provides four bedrooms including a main en-suite and a family bathroom; the multi-storey layout and internal steps create flexible living spaces but may be less suitable for restricted mobility. There is no flood risk and the home sits in an affluent, low-crime rural area with fast broadband and average mobile signal — well placed for families seeking countryside living with modern connectivity.
Practical points to note: Council Tax is band E (above average), the property is historic so ongoing maintenance and sympathetic repairs should be expected, and technical details record the built form as semi‑detached despite the listing as detached. These factual considerations balance the home’s strong character, large plot and useful outbuildings for storage, hobbies or small-scale home enterprises.
