Set in the heart of Westbury Sub Mendip, this handsome period detached house offers generous, flexible living across an attractive village plot. The main home combines a large kitchen/breakfast room, elegant dining room and a sitting room centred on a striking stone inglenook fireplace — characterful spaces that suit family life and entertaining. A separate snug, study and a practical utility/boot room with downstairs shower add everyday convenience.
Upstairs are four generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom, three en-suites and a family bathroom; the principal suite occupies a split-level arrangement with built-in storage. The plot includes a well‑established, west-facing cottage garden with large paved terrace, gated front garden and substantial parking: driveway, garage and double carport. Solar panels contribute to energy costs and may reduce running bills.
The property includes a self-contained one‑bed annexe (The Apple House) with vaulted ceilings and a private courtyard, currently used as a holiday let and producing an income. The village location is a clear strength — pub, community-run shop with café, primary school and easy access to Wells, the Mendip Hills and nearby transport links including Bristol Airport.
Material considerations: the house is of traditional pre‑1900 construction with granite walls and no confirmed wall insulation; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. Council Tax is Band F (noted as expensive). Buyers seeking a fully modernised home should allow for upgrading insulation and potential general maintenance associated with an older property.
