Upper New Road, Cheddar

Walking up to the property, you would never imagine the vast transformation to the rear! Backing onto the Strawberry Line, 'Crinnis' is a handsome detached family home that has been subject to some wonderful improvements including a magnificent extension and the conversion of a substantial outbuilding to incorporate a impressive home bar/party room and covered workshop. The thoughtful refurbishment of the living spaces, bedrooms, bathrooms and a complete remodel of the kitchen, offer what is now a very stylish and truly bespoke interior to be incredibly proud of.

To the front you will find a generous parking area that provides off street parking for a good number of vehicles, to the side of the property a further gated driveway leads past the property and continues through to the rear outbuilding at the end of the garden. Entering the house via the attractive storm porch you continue into a welcoming entrance hallway off which you gain access to three good sized reception rooms. There is a convenient ground floor cloakroom with a funky tiled floor made from reclaimed 2p coins and stairs that rise to the first floor with a handy store cupboard below. The first reception room is set to the front right of the house and is currently being utilised as a spacious home office, but would have traditionally been the dining room of the property. A second reception room can be found to the opposite side of the hallway, another versatile room it is perfect for use as an office/study but equally would make a great den/t.v room for teenagers. The sitting room is set to the rear of the property off an inner hallway which also gives access to a boot area and a door to the rear garden, the sitting room is a beautifully decorated room with more than a little art deco influence, a stylish feature fireplace provides a wonderful focal point to the room and the inset cast iron fire a lovely feature to add to the atmosphere and take the chill off the winter evenings.

The 32' kitchen/breakfast room is the jewel in the crown of the property, beautifully extended by our current owners, it takes full advantage of the superb westerly orientation that literally brings the garden into the room, the vendors took great care when adding the extension to make sure it was completed in a style that was sympathetic to the original character of the house. The kitchen area itself features quality hand-built, painted units, complemented by a solid wood counter-top, with a tongue and groove wood panelled splashback. A well positioned 'Velux' window showers the cooking and preparation area with excellent natural light, and there is space for a range style cooker as well as a lovely walk in larder and a useful utility room where the gas boiler can be found. To the end of the kitchen area the room opens out into a gorgeous family/living/dining room which is blessed with a wonderful dual aspect and is a great space for family gatherings and entertaining guests. Chalky painted floorboards run throughout the kitchen and entertaining area, and the exposed purlins and noggins of the ceiling above have also been painted is a soft white tone to create a welcoming nautical/coastal vibe. 

Upstairs you will find three excellent double bedrooms that either enjoy a view out towards the Cheddar Gorge and the hillside of the Mendips or an equally impressive view over the properties gorgeous rear garden. The master bedroom has a separate passageway which is flanked by fitted wardrobes and also provides access to the plush family bathroom, (converted from a double bedroom), featuring a beautiful free standing clawfoot bath, walk in double shower and quality sanitaryware. The other two bedrooms share use of a sleek modern bathroom fitted with a contemporary three piece suite with a cool metro tiled splashback.

Outside, the rear garden is delightful, enjoying a sunny westerly aspect the garden is interspersed by several mature fruit trees along with a number of established native trees and bushes, a pretty flower bed border flanks the fence to one side, whilst to the other the previously mentioned driveway continues up to the rear outbuildings.  At the end of the garden is an area of artificial lawn, used by one of the current owners for her hockey practice, and a lovely water feature with space in front to sit and enjoy the sunshine in privacy. 

Finally, we come to the properties amazing and unexpected added bonus, a huge 581 sq ft outbuilding that has been brilliantly renovated to create a large bar/party/sports room for all the family to enjoy, along with an open car port, and a large storage area/workshop. This superb ancillary space is perfect for those who love to entertain and party, but equally could be utilised as a great work from home space, gymnasium or hobby room. To the rear of the barn, doors lead to a footpath that continues out onto the Strawberry line foot and cycle path.
