Church Road, Coxley, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

A beautifully renovated three bedroom detached bungalow set on a substantial plot, in a quiet cul de sac within the popular village of Coxley. The property has recently undergone a full scheme of renovation, including stylish open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, underfloor heating, new flooring, bespoke blinds, new doors, complete redecoration, insulated garden cabin with electricity and store. A fully owned large Solar PV system has been installed to generate electricity for the house and create an income. Planning permission has also been granted to extend the house.

Upon entering the property is an entrance hall, with wood effect flooring and rustic wood panelling and a built-in cupboard offering space for coats and shoes. The open plan sitting/dining/kitchen is a bright, open plan room with underfloor heating, wood effect flooring and a dual aspect, with window to the side and large curved bay window overlooking the garden. To one end is the kitchen with sleek pale grey 'Nolte' units with soft close drawers and doors, Zanussi eye level oven, integrated fridge freezer and open shelving. A central island with low profile 'wood' textured worktops features additional drawers, an inset black sink with filter tap, a Tesla 'Elica' induction hob with built-in extractor along with space and plumbing for a dishwasher. A door to the side opens into the larger than average integral garage. The living space, with a wall of rustic wood panelling, offers plenty of room for comfortable seating and a family size dining table. To one side is a generous utility room with attractive, patterned flooring, plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer and a window to the side. This versatile space also offers ample storage options or scope for other use. Also accessed from the living area is a double bedroom with feature cork wall, wood effect laminate flooring, modern infrared panel heating and large picture window overlooking the garden. To the front of the property, overlooking the front lawn, are two further double bedrooms both with wood effect laminate flooring and modern infrared panel heating. The family bathroom comprises a bath with waterfall shower overhead, attractive patterned floor, countertop basin with storage space beneath, WC and infrared panel heater.

OUTSIDE

The gardens wrap around the property on three sides, mainly laid to lawn with a vegetable patch, a gravelled patio area and a variety of shrubs, bushes and fruit trees. Accessed from the kitchen is a larger than average garage with an electric 'up and over' door, to the front of the property and a pedestrian door to the rear. Within the garage is the large hot water cylinder which is heated with electricity from the solar panels. In one corner of the garden is a fully insulated garden cabin with side storage room. This versatile cabin is currently used as a further living space but could also be used as an office, playroom or gym.

Full planning permission has been granted to remove the existing garage and extend to the side to create a new entrance hall, utility room and living area and to reconfigure the rest of the property to create a principal bedroom with ensuite and dressing area, two further double bedrooms and family bathroom. The existing kitchen would remain unchanged.
