Blackford Road, Wedmore, BS28

Beautifully presented, substantial and handsome, four-bedroom family home, with open-plan family living/kitchen/dining room and separate sitting room opening onto level gardens, with garage with annexe, in a sought-after village location.

The beautiful stone façade of Westcote evokes the charm and character of historic Wedmore whilst the thoughtful layout and contemporary décor create a practical modern living space. The large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with vaulted ceiling and tri-fold doors to the garden is a sociable family hub with versatile floor space which could accommodate any number of configurations to suit varying family needs. The kitchen is fitted with a range of pale coloured, Shaker-style wall and base units with contrasting worksurfaces. Integrated appliances include a gas-fired Aga, electric oven, hob and dishwasher. There is plenty of extra storage and space for further appliances in the adjoining utility. A separate sitting room spans the depth of the house, providing a more intimate and tranquil retreat, with French doors opening to the garden for those warm sunny days, whilst an open fireplace offers a cosier focal point for the winter months. The four bedrooms are upstairs. The principal suite and the second bedroom both benefit from ensuite facilities and built-in wardrobes. The other two bedrooms, also with built-in storage, share a modern family bathroom.

Opposite the house, across the back garden, is the attractive stone-built garage/annexe which has been given a fabulous ‘facelift’ to give the appearance of a little cottage. Once a double garage with first floor storage, half of it has been transformed to create a smart, single storey office with shower facilities and WC. The remaining single garage has a staircase which leads up to a fully boarded loft room providing more storage. The building would lend itself to conversion to a larger, self-contained annexe, subject to necessary consents.

The main house is set away from the road with level gardens front and back with a sweeping driveway to the side which runs to the garage at the rear. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with raised beds, paved terraces and pathways. The property is framed by mature shrubs, trees, stone walling and fencing, with a five-bar gate to the road. The property is situated in an enviable location within walking distance of Wedmore First School and the local sports grounds and facilities. It is as well-positioned for easy access to commuter routes as it is for village amenities.
