Description

Property Description: Guide Price £500,000 to £525,000. Once the village butchers shop, this iconic property, with its impressive first floor bay window set on pillars, is full of character and set in a quiet location near the edge of the village away from main roads. This home is fabulous as it is, but also offers the potential to extend on the first floor or create further bedroom/living space in the expansive loft.

Through the part-glazed front door, the flag stoned floored entrance hall transitions into the double-aspect kitchen. With a hand-built kitchen with granite worktops and wood burner this room has a homely cottage feel. The wooden topped central island with breakfast bar is both practical and perfect for entertaining and there is space for a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Through the kitchen and up a couple of steps, the dining room is light and bright with Velux windows and exposed painted stone walls. There is a part-glazed door in the corner of the room that leads to outside steps up to the parking area. The sitting room is full of character with exposed beams, another wood burner set in a large inglenook and a window overlooking the courtyard garden at the front of the property. There is an inner hall area off the sitting room with stairs leading to the first floor. The study has terracotta tiles, a built-in storage cupboard and leads into a utility room with WC and space for a washer/dryer.

On the first floor, there are two sizeable double bedrooms and a smaller room that could be used as a nursery or study. Once used as a drawing room, the larger of the two bedrooms has a feature fireplace, built-in shelving and an impressive bay window facing northeast with views across the edge of the village to the Mendip Hills. The other bedroom looks out onto the courtyard garden and has ample built-in cupboards as well as direct access to the bathroom. The split level bathroom with stone, painted wall can also be accessed via the landing and has a free standing roll-top slipper bath, a shower and a built-in airing cupboard. There is the potential to divide the existing bathroom, creating a family bathroom and ensuite shower room. There is also scope to extend the first floor to the east on top of the dining room as well as upwards into the spacious loft area.

Outside: To the front, there is a charming, low maintenance courtyard garden, walled on all sides, with space for an outdoor dining area. The paved courtyard wraps around the side of the property providing a place to store bins. At the rear, there is a garage as well as parking for two cars. This parking area can be accessed from the house via the dining room.
Location: Westbury sub Mendip is a small rural village, located just 4 miles from Wells on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is a fabulous community run village stores with a café in the garden at the rear in which to meet friends or have a coffee. There is a popular village school as well as walks on your doorstep along the now disused railway line that ran through the village.

The Strawberry Line (as it is known), is now a popular cycle route linking this southern side of the Mendips from Yatton to Wells and beyond. There are numerous fruit and vegetable market stalls found along this popular route in Draycott and Rodney Stoke towards Cheddar offering you the opportunity to buy from a local producer. Or if you are feeling more adventurous why not try the Mendip Gliding Club for spectacular views as you soar over the Somerset Levels from just above Draycott Steep or further walks right on the doorstep up through the Mendips and beyond including the impressive Cheddar Gorge.

An easy drive to the historic city of Wells with the benefit of regular bus services provides a range of amenities with three supermarkets, a cinema, leisure centre, numerous coffee shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from, several dentists and doctors, some fabulous independent shops and even some art shops for those seeking something a little different. There are also famous historical landmarks such as the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace, as well as the popular twice weekly produce market and Cedars Hall offering a range of cultural events throughout the year. Bristol airport is also only a short drive away (approx.15 miles)
