Description
Accommodation
Upon entering the property, you’re welcomed by a spacious and light-filled hallway, laid with wood-effect flooring that continues seamlessly through the main living areas. A cloakroom with WC and a useful understairs storage cupboard are neatly positioned just off the entrance, while the wide, turning staircase rises to the first floor.
To the right of the hallway, double doors open into the main sitting room. This generous, south-facing space features a traditional open fireplace with a gas point, and is bathed in natural light from both a large rear window and French doors, which lead directly onto the sun terrace. The flow continues across the hallway into the formal dining room, similarly well-proportioned and equally bright, with its own set of French doors flanked by glazed side panels. The dining room mirrors the sitting room in aspect and connection to the garden, making it ideal for both entertaining and everyday family meals.
Back across the hall and straight ahead, you enter the large kitchen/breakfast room which runs the full depth of the house. To the rear, the kitchen area is fitted with a wide range of modern units and includes an integrated dishwasher, pull-out pantry cupboard, and designated spaces for a range cooker and an American-style fridge/freezer. This space flows effortlessly into the breakfast area at the front of the house, which comfortably accommodates a family-sized table beneath a bright front-facing window. Just off the kitchen, a door leads into the practical utility room, offering further storage, plumbing for laundry appliances, and access to both the garden and the double garage.
Upstairs, the galleried landing offers a spacious and well-lit transition to all five bedrooms, along with access to a partially boarded loft via a ceiling hatch, and an airing cupboard for additional linen storage.
The principal bedroom is located at the far end of the landing and is a true retreat. Enjoying dual-aspect windows with fantastic views of Glastonbury Tor, this substantial room includes a fitted dressing area lined with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, leading to a private en-suite featuring a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, vanity basin and WC.
Adjacent to the master, the guest bedroom offers similar proportions and impressive views across the rear garden towards Butleigh Moor. It also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, making it a perfect space for visitors or older children. Two further double bedrooms are positioned to the rear of the house, each enjoying far-reaching countryside views, while the fifth bedroom sits to the front and includes a built-in wardrobe—ideal for use as a single room, nursery, or home office which also offers an outlook of Glastonbury Tor.
Completing the internal accommodation is a well-appointed family shower room, fitted with a large fully tiled enclosure, contemporary vanity unit, and WC servicing bedrooms three, four and five.
Every room within the home has been thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the light and exceptional views, while maintaining a practical layout suited to modern family living.
Outside
Set behind a block paved drive providing ample parking, the property includes a twin door double garage with power, lighting and rear personnel door. The rear garden is arranged in two tiers: an immediate landscaped section with paved sun terrace, shaped lawn and ornamental beds, leading via a winding path to an expansive, secluded lawn bordered by mature trees, raised beds and countryside views. The whole plot approaches 0.20 acres and enjoys a south westerly aspect. Residents also have use of a communal green at the heart of the cul de sac.

The property is situated on a small luxury development towards the southern outskirts of the historic town of Glastonbury which is famous for its Tor and Abbey Ruins.
