Light, airy and spacious, the kitchen includes an island with a breakfast bar and an additional sink, plus an integrated dishwasher and microwave and space for a freestanding range cooker and an American style fridge/freezer. There is ample room within the kitchen for a dining table and chairs, located next to picture windows allowing in the lovely rural views. Above, the first of three large skylight windows on the ground floor, fitted with high quality, remotely operated blinds. Part of the kitchen has the advantage of under floor heating. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room, complete with a further range of floor and wall units, providing extra storage. The utility room includes a Belfast sink with stainless steel mixer taps, space for a tumble dryer, an external door to the side and a Vaillant boiler for the gas-fired central heating.


The main sitting room is a fabulous size and is perfect for families and those who enjoy entertaining. With bi-folding doors across the back of the room and the large skylight window above, the sitting room enjoys a pleasant aspect across the garden. A freestanding wood burning stove offers a fantastic focal point and some additional warmth during the colder months.

Glazed double doors from the sitting then open through to a garden room, also at the rear of the property, which is dual-aspect, has under floor heating and has patio doors out to the rear. Flooded with natural light, the garden room provides an ideal space for soft furnishings, taking in the view of the garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the family room, the third reception room, which has a double glazed window to the side and a fireplace with an inset wood burning stove.

On the first floor, the landing includes a built-in airing cupboard and gives access to five bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom is a finely-proportioned King size room with two double glazed windows to the front of the property. Within the master bedroom is a built-in double wardrobe and a contemporary shower room. The further four bedrooms are of good proportions, with two of them having built in wardrobes. The family bathroom is well-appointed and fully tiled, presented with a white suite comprising a bath, a low level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin and a corner shower cubicle.

OUTSIDE
A gated driveway to the front of the house provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles. There is a section of garden to the front laid to lawn and enclosed by hedging and attractive stone walling. This sunny spot is ideal for seating, encompassing the pleasant countryside outlook with Glastonbury Tor beyond.

To each side of the property, timber gates then lead through to the well-tended garden at the rear, also enclosed to all sides by fencing. Thoughtfully landscaped by the current owners to maximise the space on offer, the rear garden is ideal for outdoor seating and dining. Accessed from the sitting room and garden room is a decked terrace with a glass enclosure and steps down to the garden. There is an area of lawn with a stone pathway leading down the garden to a fantastic hexagonal barbecue hut. In addition, there is a beautiful patio with raised beds and adjoining benches. Set down behind the property is a small brook which gently flows past (‘Nant’ in Welsh translates to stream).
