Description

DESCRIPTION An exemplary light filled contemporary home occupying a privileged edge of village position, bounded by open fields on two sides, with stunning panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Hidden behind an unassuming and minimalist exterior, this versatile and extensive home offers the perfect balance of sociable open plan living spaces with homely comfortable rooms fit to suit many purposes! You enter the property to the side via an impressive, recently completed, entrance lobby with superb vaulted ceiling and bespoke built storage cupboards, the entrance lobby opens into a bright modern reception hall with a stunning oak and glass staircase and oak effect floor, which very much sets the tone of the chic design led interior.

The entrance hallway provides access to three generous double bedrooms, and a useful cloakroom to the side. The ground floor bedrooms share use of a stylish family bathroom which has been recently re-fitted with a stunning contemporary suite, featuring high quality sanitary fittings, floor to ceiling tiling and a modern freestanding statement bath. Following the hallway to the end you transcend into an incredible triple aspect living room which is bathed in natural light from the plethora of picture windows looking out to the wonderful rural scenery. There is also a pair of patio doors opening onto the rear garden and overlooking fields with views out to the coast. A new high quality oak flooring adds warmth, and a wonderful focal point is the lovely feature fireplace with an open grate and slate hearth with a solid oak mantle. The living room and kitchen are linked in a 'L' shape forming an impressive open plan and sociable space for the family and your friends to enjoy. The sleek high gloss white units and stylish centre island combine to create a sharp minimalistic workspace for the budding chef to cook up their gastronomic delights. As you might expect, the attention to detail in the finish, from the quality NEFF appliances, to the top grade composite stone counter tops are as impressive as every other facet of the house. To the rear of the kitchen is a back door with provides access an extensive utility room/workshop which was once a single garage, now an invaluable room with a sink, plumbing for a washing machine, freezer and lots of storage space and room for muddy boots/pets/outdoor equipment or anything else busy family life brings with it.

Moving onto the first floor, there is a lovely relaxing seating area to the landing which could also be utilised as a study, from here you can access two further impressive bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom with deep bespoke built-in wardrobes with a variety of drawers, shelves and full length rails, plus power outlets. Including, a central space for a large flat screen TV so you can relax from bed with a film. On entering the room you are immediately drawn towards the window where French doors open onto a superb walk out balcony from which you can enjoy exceptional panoramic views over the local countryside, which takes in the Mendip Hills, the rolling countryside towards the Bristol Channel, and on a clear day you can even glimpse the Brecon Beacons in the far distance. The second equally well appointed bedroom looks out to the front over the village and has a lovely westerly aspect. Completing the first floor is smart contemporary shower room, with quality fixture and fittings and attractive stone tiles.

Outside, the property is approached by a tarmac and gravelled driveway, with parking for several cars. There is access to the back garden via the eastern elevation as well as from the French doors of the living/dining area. It is clear to see that no less attention to detail has been spared to creating a sublime visually impressive oasis of a garden, than to that of the interior of the property. Centred around a sweeping level lawn that greets the rolling meadows of the Mendips to the rear, skilfully and thoughtfully planted borders, packed with a plethora of established trees, plants and flowers, giving year around colour and contrast to enjoy. Our current vendors have also created a truly outstanding outside eating area from which to enjoy dining al fresco. Created with the use of a raised decked it is the perfect space to house a pizza oven or barbecue; What's more two of the decks, have been reinforced to accommodate a jacuzzi/hot tub if desired. Also in the garden are a number of fruit trees/bushes a herb garden and greenhouse all accessed via a pretty stone chipped pathway and enclosed by handsome picket fence and deer fencing. It is also worthy of mention that the garden enjoys supreme privacy and incredible views from nearly every direction. The outside space is a delight for gardeners, featuring a delightful bespoke timber frame greenhouse with dwarf brick wall, tiled floor and ample benches with storage. It is set up with connections for heating light and water. In addition, outside there is a large shed, medium bike store and enclosed wood store

OUR VENDOR SAYS We fell in love with this house as soon as we stood on the balcony and saw the crystal-clear view of the Somerset Levels with Wales beyond. The house is warm and bright, year round - it’s a flexible space to live, work and host in. We particularly love sitting and eating on the deck all Summer long - the garden offers privacy and an array of wildlife. From the back gate it’s just a short walk to the wonderful Swan Pub. The local community add to the joy of living here.

WE HAVE NOTICED Without doubt one of my favourite listings of the year, wonderfully positioned, beautifully presented, versatile and stylish but also homely

SITUATION Shipham is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a highly sought after village, nestled in the picturesque Somerset countryside. It is well served by first, middle and senior schools and is much sought after by those commuting to Bristol, as it offers all the advantages of rural living with many bridleways and footpaths, including the West Mendip Way which crosses the parish providing ready access to the hills and Mendip plateau, where there are extensive views across the Bristol Channel to the Welsh coast and Brecon Beacons beyond. Indeed, it is very well positioned for local transport links and the M5 motorway which is accessible via junction 20 at Clevedon, junction 21 at St Georges and junction 22 at Edithmead. Village facilities are available, including butcher/stores, garage, public house and further shopping facilities at nearby Winscombe and Cheddar. The new village hall (with its stage, sports hall, function rooms and kitchen) is a popular centre for a broad range of community events and activities for all ages. Private sector schooling is close by at Sidcot and the Downs School at Wraxall is within easy reach, as are Wells Cathedral School and Millfield. In the state sector, Kings of Wessex School ( is nearby and for sports and recreational amenities, Churchill Academy is a drive away. There is also an excellent village primary school. The surrounding area is excellent riding country and is sure to appeal to equestrian enthusiasts and walkers. There is an international airport at Lulsgate and access to the mainline railway station at Yatton.

DIRECTIONS Taking the A38 south from the Churchill traffic lights continue up the hill passing the turning on your left for Rowberrow, take the next left into Shipham just after the petrol station. Just after the entrance for the village hall on your right you will find Beech Road on your left. Number 45 is the last property at the top on the left hand side. You are welcome to park on the drive.
