Saxon Close, Oake, Somerset

A truly unique, extended five-bedroom detached house, which is beautifully presented throughout, occupying a stunning position on the edge of the development, siding onto open countryside. The house was built in 1998 by Bovis Homes and has been loved and cared for by the current owners since 2018 and extended in 2021. You enter through the front door into the spacious entrance hall with a WC, stairs rising to the first floor and doors opening to the principal reception rooms.

The living room is situated to one side of the house and enjoys windows to dual aspects and with large patio doors opening to the rear garden, allowing lots of natural light to enter the room. The second reception room (currently used as a study) is positioned at the opposite side to the lounge at the front of the house, with a window to the front aspect and a door to the utility room and steps down into the kitchen. The cinema room is positioned at the rear of the house, with a window to the rear aspect and a understairs cupboard.

The Owners Love - The current owners have loved “creating our dream home! It has been an incredible journey these past 7 years, but we feel we have finished and lived the dream”. Their favourite thing about living in the house is “the real sense of space. For a modern home, it is very well proportioned, and the extension has taken that even further”. They will mostly miss “our idyllic little secluded spot on the edge of the fields next door. It’s the best of both worlds being close enough to town and amenities, but with the countryside outside the front door! There are lovely dog walks from the doorstep either across the fields or down towards the village. We even installed an outside dog shower to rinse the dogs off as we were making the most of the rural lifestyle but keeping the dogs (and house!) nice and clean”

The kitchen diner is located at the far end of the house, in the extension and benefits lots of natural light from bi-folding doors to the rear terrace and garden, and a window to the front aspect. There are a variety of modern fitted wall and base units with ample storage cupboards and drawers, work surfaces over and inset sink with drainer. There are a range of built in appliances, which include a fridge, freezer, wine cooler and dishwasher as well as space for a range style cooker. There is a breakfast bar and space for a dining table in front the bi-folding doors and contemporary lighting throughout. There is a useful walk-in pantry and stairs to the master suite above. The utility room is fitted with work top, inset sink, additional storage and space for a washing machine and dryer. An external door opens to the rear of the house.

Upstairs, on the first-floor landing of the original house, there are four bedrooms, including what was the master suite, and the family bathroom. The old master bedroom benefits from a walkthrough dressing room with fitted wardrobes, providing ample storage. A door opens to the en-suite shower room, with a WC and wash basin. There are three other bedrooms, two with built in wardrobes and the family bathroom, which is partially tiled and is fitted with a three-piece suite including WC, washbasin, and bath with shower over.

George Loves - “I was blown away by just how much space this home offers! Arranged over three floors, and with an isolated master suite and spanning approximately 2,067 ft2 of internal living space, it’s a perfect property for a large or expanding family looking for lots of space and versatile living. I also really like the specification of the house. The house it fitted with all the mod cons and is ready for the next family to move straight in. I’ve sold a few of these homes in Saxon Close over the years, but with its position, specification, and good size garden, this is without doubt the best one I have seen. An absolute must see home!”

Above the kitchen, a separate staircase rises to one of the most incredible master suites you are ever likely to see! There is a large skylight overhead as you climb the stairs and a window to the rear, which floods the landing and stairwell with natural light. A door opens to the bedroom, which is an impressive size, has windows to dual aspects and a built-in wardrobe. A contemporary spiral staircase rises to a breathtaking en-suite, which is fitted with a four-piece suite including WC, twin washbasins, large walk-in shower, and a freestanding bath with unspoiled views across the adjacent countryside and also with skylight windows overhead.

Outside, to the rear of the property there is a great size garden, arranged over multiple levels. Initially, there is a raised terrace area, which leads onto a lawn with fenced boarders. Below this is a sunken patio area, with a garden bar ready to host any party you might throw at it! A side gate provides access to the front, with a timber clad garage with power supply and Eazee EV charging point and a large gravel driveway for up to five vehicles. The garage has a personnel door and a pitched roof with potential storage area in the eves space. Beside the house is an attractive open field/paddock, home to several horses and ponies to keep you company whilst you enjoy a glass or two on the terrace.
