An impressive, oak-framed detached house arranged to maximise elevated views across the Somerset levels to Glastonbury Tor and Wedmore. The main living space sits on the first floor with full-width glazing and a balcony, creating a dramatic, light-filled social hub ideal for family life and entertaining. Six bedrooms and five bathrooms offer flexible accommodation for a large household, guests or home working.
Built in 2018 and recently upgraded, the house has strong energy credentials: a large south-facing solar array with battery storage, an 11kW air source heat pump, MVHR and high levels of insulation. These measures typically reduce running costs and support year-round comfort, while the property benefits from an EPC rating of B and a new-build warranty valid until July 2028.
Externally the plot is very generous with lawned and planted areas, a workshop, large shed and parking for multiple cars. A rear gate gives direct pedestrian access into the village, putting the shop, pub, church and primary school within easy walking distance. The setting on the southern Mendips offers rural character with good transport links to Wells, the M5 and Bristol.
Important practical points: the house is constructed around a non-standard oak frame with stone-faced concrete, which can affect mortgage or insurance options for some buyers and should be checked via a chartered survey. Council Tax Band G means higher annual costs. Broadband is provided by FTTC with an average download of around 30Mbps — suitable for most household use but worth confirming if you need very high-speed connections. There is also a right of way over a neighbouring field and buyers should review title documents for any legal details.
