Fosse Road, Oakhill, Somerset, BA3

A detached and particularly spacious period house requiring some modernisation, favourably situated within the sought-after Mendip village of Oakhill. Available with no onward chain, the property includes four double bedrooms, three reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room, surrounding gardens, driveway parking, a garage and wonderful rural views. EPC rating E.

A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance hall, which has a skylight window above and gives access to a downstairs wet room, as well as through to the first of three reception rooms.

Offering versatile accommodation on the ground floor, there is space to accommodate a wide range of purchasers. The first reception room could equally be utilised as a study and includes a built-in storage cupboard. An inner door then continues into the main traditional hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first floor accommodation, a cupboard beneath, an external door to the rear and a most attractive, original tiled floor.

Located off the main hall are two spacious reception rooms. The sitting room has a double glazed bay window to the front and includes a brick fireplace with an open fire. On the opposite side, the living room is dual-aspect, with a feature fireplace and a set of patio doors opening out to the rear garden.

The kitchen/dining room is L-shaped and also generous in size, with a fireplace to one side, providing space for a wood-burning stove. The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units with soft-close drawers and doors. In addition, there is plumbing for a dishwasher, space for a range cooker (with Calor gas supply behind), a built-in pantry cupboard and plenty of space for a dining table and chairs.

Adjoining the kitchen is a lobby, which offers an external door to the side and access to a store room and a utility room, housing the boiler for the oil-fired central heating.

On the first floor, there are four excellent size double bedrooms, all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. The bedrooms at the back of the property enjoy a beautiful outlook across the neighbouring farmland, often used for grazing.

Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, which currently has a shower over the bath, a low-level WC and a wash hand basin.

OUTSIDE
The property occupies a plot extending to 0.21 acre. A driveway to the front provides off-road parking for several vehicles, and leads to a garage, with an ‘up and over’ door. Attached to the rear of the garage is a useful garden store and a potting shed.

The gardens surround the house, with the main area of lawn at the back looking out to the fields beyond—providing a particularly pleasant place to sit. Furthermore, there is gated access to each side, a garden shed and a lovely veranda to the rear of the property. Now requiring some TLC, the garden offers the scope to provide a delightful outside space, with a semi-rural feel.

Oakhill is located just seven miles from the Cathedral City of Wells, with the village offering two good quality pubs, a primary school, doctors’ surgery, a park with recreation field, as well as a new café and a superb village shop.

Oakhill is well-placed for road links to other local towns, including Midsomer Norton and Shepton Mallet, as well as the beautiful Georgian City of Bath, which is only 14 miles to the north. For those travelling by train, there are mainline stations at both Bath Spa and Castle Cary, which are easily accessible by road.
 
There are many sporting facilities within the area including various golf clubs and leisure centres. There are several superb state and independent schools within the vicinity, including Millfield, Downside, All Hallows and Wells Cathedral School to name but a few. A wide selection of major supermarkets can be found within the nearby market town of Shepton Mallet and in Wells, which includes a Waitrose.
